Re: Structural Review — Rot damage decay and shoring
Site Address: 624 Daley Street Unit 1
Edmonds, WA 98020
Snohomish County Assessor Parcel # 007 372 00100100
Dear Mr. Thiele:
In coordination with the structural damage that was identified during an exterior paint and caulking project, DEI has reviewed
and recommended immediate shoring to prevent a collapse from occurring. The conditions identified are located at the HOA's
the north-west corner at an existing (4) 2x6 support framing beam that aligns under a bearing wall. The deck corner damage is
the result of a water leak that contributed to a severe wood rot and decay internal of the framing floor and wall and created
significant decay damage. Based on the extent of damage, decay, and debris from the rot, the building corner and deck are in a
state of collapse.
DEI completed a site visit on September 25, 2014 to review the installed and completed shoring, consisting of a sleeper GLB 5-
I/5x12" beam inset under the decay area, with a series of 2x6 shoring studs. The studs were braced in the weak axis at
approximately at 4' on center to prevent lateral buckling. The shoring as completed provides a redundant load path for the
building corner to allow occupancy to remain. The condition as noted will need a structural replacement beam and a permit
with the city.
The excessive decay damage will require a replacement of the bundled (4) 2x6 beam which spans approximately six feet from a
post internal of the garage out to the face of the garage. The location'of the beam under the bearing wall framed above will
require short term wall support, and removal of the damaged and decayed deck sheathing. The full extent of the decay is not yet
exposed, but we would expect that the garage header and support studs may also need to be replaced. With the current shoring
in place, DEI recommends further exposing the full extent of the damage and decay for review by the Architect and Engineer
prior to the repair and replacement.
Based on the extent of the decay, DEI recommends the City be notified for their review and permitting of the repairs. Mr.
David Thiele, the HOA president concurs. Please contact us with any questions or clarifications.
Sincerely,
DIBBLE ENGINEERS, INC.

Good Morning,
Thank you David for the time to provide access.
Thank you Josh for the emergency shoring —the building is stabilized to allow for continued occupancy of the unit above.
City Building Official Mr. Bjorback, please see the attached structural review summary and framing sketch with the
attached photos for the substantial decay area identified that will need support of the wall framing above in the process
of completing the beam replacement.
This letter is to confirm that shoring is in place, and that the building is stabilized, and to alert the City of the issue, and
that it is being properly handled.
Thanks,
Robb A. Dibble, PE

Hello Emily,
I have attached a proposal from Dibble Engineers to assist in the repair of the damage at the Unit 1 garage. I
have also mailed a copy to Dave Thiele. We work closely with Robb Dibble and recommend DEI be approved to
assist in this repair.
Please call with any questions.
RUFF crew: How is the shoring progressing?

Good morning,
I am awaiting photo's from my crew that installed/erected the shore wall, as soon as I receive them I will immediately
forward to all parties.
Mr. Dibble; if at your meeting this morning in review of the shore wall there are any modifications that are felt needed
to be made please let me know and I will act accordingly/expeditiously in getting them taken care of. The client is in
great hands with both SGA and DEI, we at Ruff look forward in potentially assisting the two of you moving forward with
the needed repairs.
Thank you all for your time and please do not hesitate in contacting me if I may be of any assistance (cell; 425.351.2032),
