From page 149...
... It is intended that the reports will be based on and present the most current subsurface information pertaining to the Design section and each particular construction contract. On that account, where applicable, the reports are to be prepared in successive stages as follows: Stage 1, for presentation to the General Engineering Consultant at the preliminary review stage of design.
From page 150...
... The report shall conform to the Geotechnical Design Report format furnished to the Designer by the Authority. The completed report is to reflect the comments made at the final review presentation and is to be printed as an appendix to the construction specifications.
