Source text
It is probable that state department of transportation officials (and law enforcement officials as necessary) will also need to be advised of the situation by either Engineer A's supervisor or some other appropriate responsible party within OPQ Construction so that appropriate corrective action can be considered and implemented prior to the design and assembly of the inspection and construction scaffolding
