MLs approach to DBAs broadly equates with my own, but I nearly always write a brief for evaluations but rarely for excavations as the area for mitigation can usually be agreed on the basis of the evaluation and a WSI produced by the consultant/contractor - and then revised to our satisfaction. I feel that defining the appropriate level and method(s) of evaluation is the important bit. But each to their own.
The important thing is to have an agreed and sufficiently detailed project design/spec for each stage of works and this concurs with the IFA guidelines in that work should be 'quanitifiable, implemented and monitored'.
