Project Initiation Report. A project report shall be submitted for discussion at the progress meeting. The Service Provider shall, using the findings of the Initial Assessment already conducted, identify problem areas, and provide comprehensive evidence that their underlying cause is understood and propose appropriate corrective or reparative remedies. These proposals will accompany others for multiple design methodologies that are considered appropriate to the project including identification of their respective technical inputs. All proposals shall be discussed with the Client. At least 2 (three) different methodologies must be proposed in the assessment report in cases where a Concept and/or Preliminary Design is not required so that the Client is presented with an array of design options from which to make decisions for progression to Detail Design. Although all aspects are important, particular emphasis should be given to the materials making up the existing pavement, their current reported condition, and their respective sources. During the first part of the assessment and based purely on the information given and/or collected, the Service Provider must devise other feasible strategies for further discussion with the Client.
