Details: Focusing on underground construction, this report examines the role of the Geotechnical Baseline Report (GBR) as a tool in allocating and managing risks associated with subsurface construction. The suggestions here augment those previously published and include justification for review of the GBR, the purpose of the GBR, shortcomings of previous practice, the contents of the GBR, including data and memoranda for design, creation of the "differing sites conditions" clause, the concept of a baseline, preparation of a GBR, applications for excavations and foundations, design-build procurement, owner perspectives, roles and responsibilities, and details of lessons learned in the preparation of this document.
