Request that the City Building Official complete the Required Inspections of Retaining Walls <br />form, attached. <br />2. Notify your client of the potential for added cost depending on city/building official <br />requirements. Contact our office or refer to our service agreement for current fees. <br />3. Contact Criterium-Schimnowski Engineers to schedule any required inspections. Adequate lead <br />time is required. Similar to typical City inspections, at least one week is recommended. We <br />cannot guarantee immediate service. <br />4. Take daily construction progress photos for your records and for submittal to Criterium- <br />Schimnowski Engineers upon request. <br />5. Complete the Statement of Conformance for your records and for submittal to Criterium- <br />Schimnowski Engineers upon request. Form attached. <br />If a Wall Completion Report (Post -built Conformance Letter), is requested of CSE, we will require that <br />you provide construction photos and Statement of Conformance. In addition, CSE will need to perform <br />a site visit once final grading is completed. Without these three items, we are unable to comment on <br />the construction/conformance of the wall. <br />We are here to help as much as possible. These inspection requirements are not coming from us. <br />Contact us if you have any questions. <br />Independently Owned and Operated <br />161 Dunbar Way / Mahtomedi, MN 55115 <br />O: 651.779.7700 / criterium-schimnowski.com <br />a
