Geotechnical Data Report and Borings (see Chapter 4)

Summary of proposed construction, factored foundation loads, applicable limit states, performance criteria (settlements, lateral deformation)

Scour and hydraulic assumptions

Applicable site constraints including any suspected environmental restrictions, utility conflicts, adjacent structures, or limitations on construction (ROW, headroom, etc.)

Summary of soil and bedrock and intermediate geomaterial parameters and design analysis

Recommendations for ground improvement to increase bearing resistance and reduce settlement

Description of design procedures with summary of results and explanation of interpretation, particularly:

Pile tip elevations or estimated pile lengths
Minimum pile penetration (see AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications Article 10.7.7)
Pile driving requirements (hammer size, sequence, etc)
Nominal driving resistance and resistance determination method (driving criteria) (see AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications Table 10.5.5.2.3-1)
Corrosion effects or chemical/biological attack susceptibility
Specified load testing requirements or test piles
Expanded analysis preformed such as drawdown with neutral plane axis, settlement estimates, and lateral load resistance and deformation.

Construction recommendations and recommendations for notes required on contract drawings/plans
