Common use of Draft Report Clause in Contracts

Draft Report. A-E shall complete a Draft Report for the specific project and submit four (4) copies to County for review. The Draft Report shall include all exhibits and attachments and shall be signed by the responsible professional who worked on the project. The Draft Report might be expected to include, but not be limited to the following items. Those items that will be required for all reports are shown in bold italic type. • Table of Contents • Introduction, Purpose, and Scope of Work • Site Description • Methods of Field Investigation (surface and subsurface) • Methods of Lab Testing of Samples • Test Results • Site Geology (Bedrock and soil units, geologic structures, landslides, etc.) • Groundwater • Slope Stability Analysis • Conclusions o Concluding statement with reference to purpose of investigation and report o Unanticipated conditions encountered o Deviations from the plan (if any plan exists) o Bedrock excavating conditions and rippability o Gross stability: Steepest cut slopes possible with a safety factor equal to or greater than 1:1 for a pseudostatic condition. o Surficial stability and erodibility of cut slopes and fill slopes o Soil units ▪ Classification ▪ Moisture content ▪ Sulfate content ▪ Shrinkage of excavated soil ▪ Stability of temporary cut slopes ▪ Compressibility and potential for settlement or consolidation due to fill placement ▪ Potential for expansion or collapse ▪ Sand equivalence ▪ Dry densities ▪ Shear strengths (Ø and c) o Seismicity ▪ Regional ▪ Local earthquake effects ▪ Ground rupture potential ▪ Liquefaction potential ▪ Lateral spreading potential ▪ Potential for ground lurching ▪ Potential for Tsunami ▪ Potential for seiche ▪ Seismically included landsliding or rockfall • Recommendations o Methods of excavation by equipment and/or blasting o Slope ration (H:V) and maximum height of temporary cut slopes during construction o Stabilization of interim cut slopes (if necessary) o Slope ratio (H:V) and maximum height of temporary cut slopes during construction o Shoring load, slope gradients, and stabilization of temporary cut slopes o Slope ratio (H:V) and maximum height of fill slopes o Key and bench recommendations for constructing fill slopes o Terrace drains and downdrains o Removal of unsuitable material o Disposal of oversized material o Preparation of natural ground to receive fill o Suitability of native soils for use as backfill o Relative compaction of engineered fill and natural subgrade o Subdrains o Engineering and geologic inspections during construction for competence of materials, stability of cut slopes and safety o Construction considerations o Buttress fills or stabilization fills o Drainage and erosion control during construction o Foundation recommendations • Illustrations o Project location map o Regional fault and seismicity map o Geotechnical map showing ▪ Existing topography and existing structural features ▪ Proposed design ▪ Distribution and explanation of geological map units (soil and Bedrock units, geologic structures, and landslides) ▪ Locations of test-pits and borings ▪ Trace of geotechnical cross-sections o Geotechnical cross-sections o Boring logs and test-pit logs o Summary table of major cut slopes and fill slopes ▪ Slope numbers ▪ Cross-section reference ▪ Slope height and slope ratio (H:V) ▪ Slope type and direction faced by slope ▪ Geologic condition ▪ Remarks ▪ References • Authentication o Original ink signatures of the responsible civil engineer and/or the geotechnical engineer and the engineering geologist who worked on the project
