[Vocabulary] secure as 'obtain by effort' / 'force to give'

[kvvic]

Dear teachers,

Could you please check the sentence below:

Therefore, we ask for your assistance in securing the above sections of the report from the contractor in the format compliant with the building codes.

Is it clear that by 'securing' I mean 'forcing the contractor to provide the sections of the report in the format that is required by the codes'? The style of the letter should be formal.

Thank you in advance.

I would use "obtaining" rather than "securing".
