Dear Building Official,
The present letter is to notify to the concerned parties and corresponding authorities that Julio
Torres, as our Field Inspector, has performed an inspection of the roof framing for this project.
This inspection included all the pre -fabricated wood trusses and their connections to the
structural framing.
The truss mark T-1 as shown on the approved Truss Shop Drawings was retrofitted from its
original design configuration into a scissor truss configuration as shown on the attached sketch
SK-1. Contractor tried to contact Royal Truss, the truss manufacturer, to get a certified retrofit;
however, they're no longer in business. Please refer to attached sketch showing the current
middle truss repaired by using 1/z" plywood gussets on each side of the truss and fastened as
shown. The other two (2) affected trusses have been fastened against the CMU wall/beams with
'/4" diameter Tapcons at 12" on center on Top/Bottom chords and web members.
Should you have any question regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Respectfully,
Alexander Rochell, P.E.
