Dear Father Long:
RONTREMUAr
CHIEF BUILDING b
ZONING INSPECTOR .
Based on the report.of Coder X -Ray Service orr certain welds at
St. Elizabeth Anrr Seaton Church, we find that these welds are unaccept-
able.
There is. also some question as to the -quality of the fillet. welds..
We are requesting that your design engineer certify .that -these
welds -meet the 1979 Edition of the Uniform Building Code. If certifi
cation.is not possible, we will need to be -assured that modifications or
corrections are made to bring -these items into compliance.
Si erely,.

The purpose of this letter is to document the on-site meeting held on Friday,
February 19. 1982 at 9:00 am concerning the above referenced project. Those
present at the meeting were as follows:
Rev. Melvin Long................Pastor St. Elizabeth
Bob Frank:...................... Contractor, Frank Construction
Jim Lorenson ....................Lorenson Welding & Machine Co.
Jeff Snyder ......................Coder X -Ray Service, McPherson, Ks
Keith Rawlings ..................City of Salina
Don Hoff ........................City of Salina
Ron Tremblay ....................City of Salina
Jeff Crist......................Arno Rinas & Associates
Ken Bieberly ....................Architect
The meeting was held in order to clarify and explain the required modifications
to the welds as requested in our letter dated February 5, 1982. The welds were
determined to be unacceptable under code specification. The modifications.are
required to bring the welds into compliance. The following directions were
given:
1.) BUTT WELDS. The butt welds were not designed into the project
and not shown on the approved shop drawings. The butt welds were
necessary because the contractor utilized used steel in this new
project.
As stated in Coder X -Ray Services' report, all. butt welds are rejected
with the exception of the web of the specified W16 beam. All others
shall be reinforced with 3/8" plate as detailed on -Sheet 2 of Sketches
as provided by Arno Rinas & Associates, dated February 17, 1982.
Work shall be completed by Jim Lorenson. The plate on the web of
the W12 beam shall be installed on the interior side.

A325 tension control bolts or standard 3/4"$ A325 bolts with load
indicator washers. Refer to Sheet 1 Sketch as provided by Arno

shall be bolted: B-5, B-7, C-2, C-4 & C-5.
No field welding or torching will be permitted at the splices.
Prior to initiating this required modification, the contractor
