The "Available Information" section(s) are commonly used for geotechnical information if available, and reports/assessments of other existing condition findings including hazardous materials. The intent of locating these under 003000 and calling them "Available Information" is normally that:

- Geotechnical reports often contain recommendations that are design information, which may appear to conflict with the chosen final design solution if the report were to be made contractual.
- Existing hazardous material information may need to be disclosed, yet with its final assessment and remediation under a separate contract due to limits on the Architect's professional licensing and
