Laurel, NJ 08054 u ISO May 3, 2019 Mr. Jose Gonzalez, Building Official Weld Co 1555 N. 17th Ave. Greeley, CO 80631 Re: Notification of Publication of BCEGS Classification Dear Mr. Gonzalez, tel. 1 800 444-4554 ISO has completed our analysis of the building code adoption and/or enforcement program improvements Weld Co has made since the initial letter we sent February 16, 2018. As a result of those improvements, the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) Classification that ISO will implement for Weld Co is a Class 4 for 1&2 family residential property and a Class 4 for commercial and industrial property. The BCEGS classification will apply to new buildings receiving a Certificate of Occupancy during or after January 1 of the year 2019. We have enclosed a copy of ISO's report which will provide you additional information about the classification process and how ISO evaluated various aspects of your community's building codes and their enforcement. We want to emphasize that the ISO Building Code Effectiveness Grading program is an advisory insurance underwriting information and rating tool. It is not intended to analyze all aspects of a comprehensive building code enforcement program. BCEGS is not for purposes of determining compliance with any state or local law nor is it for making loss prevention or loss safety recommendations. ISO reviews a community's BCEGS classification approximately every five years. If a community significantly changes its building code adoption and/or enforcement program within that time period and ISO is made aware of this, a reevaluation will be scheduled. Thank you once again for your cooperation in this important project. Please feel free to contact ISO at any time for answers to your questions about the BCEGS program.

Laurel, NJ 08054 tel. 1 800 444-4554 We wish to thank you for the cooperation given to us during our recent Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) survey. Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) is the leading supplier of statistical data, underwriting information, and actuarial analysis to the property/casualty insurance industry in the United States. The BCEGS classifications are distributed by ISO for use by property/casualty insurers to assist in their insurance underwriting and premium development programs for residential and commercial properties. Insurers can use the BCEGS classification number to offer insurance premium discounts to eligible properties in Weld Co. ISO has completed its analysis of the building codes adopted by your community and the effort put forth to enforce those codes. The resulting BCEGS Classification is a Class 6 for 1& 2 family residential property and a Class 5 for commercial and industrial property. The new Classification is a regression from the former Class 4 for 1 & 2 family residential property and a Class 4 for commercial and industrial property. The attached table details opportunities for improvement to regain your prior classification. A revised BCEGS classification would apply to new buildings receiving a Certificate of Occupancy during or after the calendar year in which the revision takes place. Before we re-classify your community to reflect this change, we would like to know if Weld Co desires to develop a program to regain Class PL 4 and CL 4. If this letter is acknowledged by March 16, 2018 advising us that this matter will be reviewed, we will postpone the implementation of the classification changes. PL Lc,K,icoW Dart t I��) 2018-0578 a --S o4-24-18 After review, if it is your decision to begin an improvement program to regain PL Class 4 and CL class 4, we will need to receive, by May 16, 2018, a list of the changes you intend to make. Additionally, we would appreciate your estimate of the amount of time needed to complete each item. No re-classifying action will be taken if changes are implemented to regain the current classification within one year of the receipt of this letter. We want to highlight the fact that the ISO Building Code Effectiveness Grading program is an advisory insurance underwriting information and rating tool. It is not intended to analyze all aspects of a comprehensive building code enforcement program. It is not for purposes of determining compliance with any state or local law nor is it for making loss prevention or loss safety recommendations. If you have any questions about the classification that was developed, please let us know.
