... 35 There is a need to align differences in perception of the geotechnical risk between owner and contractor to avoid overestimating or underestimating the risks by either party and reduce con­ flicts by effectively sharing the risk. This chapter will report the effective practices (tools)
From page 36...
... 36 Guidelines for Managing Geotechnical Risks in Design–Build Projects ability of the project team's use of the tools. Therefore, the appropriate methods for implement­ ing the tools are defined as follows: • Pre-advertising geotechnical risk management.

... 40 Guidelines for Managing Geotechnical Risks in Design–Build Projects Method Tool Pre-advertising • Include GBR-C provision • Provide a mechanism to conduct competing team requested additional borings, i.e., permits, rights of access, etc. • Collect potential contaminated material information during ROW acquisition Procurement • Request geotechnical ATCs on DB projects • Define no-go zones for geotechnical ATCs • Competitor designated boring locations • Competitors permitted to conduct supplementary borings at own expense • Progressive DB • Unit prices for contaminated material, over-excavation, etc.
