Important Information about This Geotechnical-Engineering Report

Geotechnical-Engineering Report Important Information about This

Subsurface problems are a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes.

While you cannot eliminate all such risks, you can manage them. The following information is provided to help.

The Geoprofessional Business Association (GBA) has prepared this advisory to help you – assumedly a client representative – interpret and apply this geotechnical-engineering report as effectively as possible. In that way, clients can benefit from a lowered exposure to the subsurface problems that, for decades, have been a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. If you have questions or want more information about any of the issues discussed below, contact your GBA-member geotechnical engineer.

Active involvement in the Geoprofessional Business Association exposes geotechnical engineers to a wide array of risk-confrontation techniques that can be of genuine benefit for everyone involved with a construction project.

Geotechnical-Engineering Services Are Performed for Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the specific needs of their clients. A geotechnical-engineering study conducted for a given civil engineer will not likely meet the needs of a civil-works constructor or even a different civil engineer. Because each geotechnical-engineering study is unique, each geotechnical-engineering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. Those who rely on a geotechnical-engineering report prepared for a different client can be seriously misled. No one except authorized client representatives should rely on this geotechnical-engineering report without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who prepared it. And no one

– not even you – should apply this report for any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated.

Read this Report in Full Costly problems have occurred because those relying on a geotechnical-engineering report did not read it in its entirety. Do not rely on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only. Read this report in full.

You Need to Inform Your Geotechnical Engineer about Change Your geotechnical engineer considered unique, project-specific factors when designing the study behind this report and developing the confirmation-dependent recommendations the report conveys. A few typical factors include:

• the client’s goals, objectives, budget, schedule, and risk-management preferences;

• the general nature of the structure involved, its size, configuration, and performance criteria;

• the structure’s location and orientation on the site; and

• other planned or existing site improvements, such as retaining walls, access roads, parking lots, and underground utilities.

Typical changes that could erode the reliability of this report include those that affect:

• the site’s size or shape;

• the function of the proposed structure, as when it’s changed from a parking garage to an office building, or from a light-industrial plant to a refrigerated warehouse;

• the elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or weight of the proposed structure;

• the composition of the design team; or

• project ownership.

As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer of project changes – even minor ones – and request an assessment of their impact. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot accept responsibility or liability for problems that arise because the geotechnical engineer was not informed about developments the engineer otherwise would have considered.

This Report May Not Be Reliable Do not rely on this report if your geotechnical engineer prepared it:

• for a different client;

• for a different project;

• for a different site (that may or may not include all or a portion of the original site); or

• before important events occurred at the site or adjacent to it; e.g., man-made events like construction or environmental remediation, or natural events like floods, droughts, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctuations.

Note, too, that it could be unwise to rely on a geotechnical-engineering report whose reliability may have been affected by the passage of time, because of factors like changed subsurface conditions; new or modified codes, standards, or regulations; or new techniques or tools. If your geotechnical engineer has not indicated an “apply-by” date on the report, ask what it should be, and, in general, if you are the least bit uncertain about the continued reliability of this report, contact your geotechnical engineer before applying it. A minor amount of additional testing or analysis – if any is required at all – could prevent major problems.

Most of the “Findings” Related in This Report Are Professional Opinions Before construction begins, geotechnical engineers explore a site’s subsurface through various sampling and testing procedures.

Geotechnical engineers can observe actual subsurface conditions only at those specific locations where sampling and testing were performed. The data derived from that sampling and testing were reviewed by your geotechnical engineer, who then applied professional judgment to form opinions about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual sitewide-subsurface conditions may differ – maybe significantly – from those indicated in this report. Confront that risk by retaining your geotechnical engineer to serve on the design team from project start to project finish, so the individual can provide informed guidance quickly, whenever needed.

This Report’s Recommendations Are Confirmation-Dependent The recommendations included in this report – including any options or alternatives – are confirmation-dependent. In other words, they are not final, because the geotechnical engineer who developed them relied heavily on judgment and opinion to do so. Your geotechnical engineer can finalize the recommendations only after observing actual subsurface conditions revealed during construction. If through observation your geotechnical engineer confirms that the conditions assumed to exist actually do exist, the recommendations can be relied upon, assuming no other changes have occurred. The geotechnical engineer who prepared this report cannot assume responsibility or liability for confirmation-dependent recommendations if you fail to retain that engineer to perform construction observation.

This Report Could Be Misinterpreted Other design professionals’ misinterpretation of geotechnical-engineering reports has resulted in costly problems. Confront that risk by having your geotechnical engineer serve as a full-time member of the design team, to:

• confer with other design-team members,

• help develop specifications,

• review pertinent elements of other design professionals’ plans and specifications, and

• be on hand quickly whenever geotechnical-engineering guidance is needed.

You should also confront the risk of constructors misinterpreting this report. Do so by retaining your geotechnical engineer to participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences and to perform construction observation.

Give Constructors a Complete Report and Guidance Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they can shift unanticipated-subsurface-conditions liability to constructors by limiting the information they provide for bid preparation. To help prevent the costly, contentious problems this practice has caused, include the complete geotechnical-engineering report, along with any attachments or appendices, with your contract documents, but be certain to note conspicuously that you’ve included the material for informational purposes only. To avoid misunderstanding, you may also want to note that “informational purposes” means constructors have no right to rely on the interpretations, opinions, conclusions, or recommendations in the report, but they may rely on the factual data relative to the specific times, locations, and depths/elevations referenced. Be certain that constructors know they may learn about specific project requirements, including options selected from the report, only from the design drawings and specifications. Remind constructors that they may perform their own studies if they want to, and be sure to allow enough time to permit them to do so. Only then might you be in a position to give constructors the information available to you, while requiring them to at least share some of the financial responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions. Conducting prebid and preconstruction conferences can also be valuable in this respect.

Read Responsibility Provisions Closely Some client representatives, design professionals, and constructors do not realize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than other engineering disciplines. That lack of understanding has nurtured unrealistic expectations that have resulted in disappointments, delays, cost overruns, claims, and disputes. To confront that risk, geotechnical engineers commonly include explanatory provisions in their reports.

Sometimes labeled “limitations,” many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engineers’ responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisions closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should respond fully and frankly.

Geoenvironmental Concerns Are Not Covered The personnel, equipment, and techniques used to perform an environmental study – e.g., a “phase-one” or “phase-two” environmental site assessment – differ significantly from those used to perform a geotechnical-engineering study. For that reason, a geotechnical-engineering report does not usually relate any environmental findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regulated contaminants.

Unanticipated subsurface environmental problems have led to project failures. If you have not yet obtained your own environmental information, ask your geotechnical consultant for risk-management guidance. As a general rule, do not rely on an environmental report prepared for a different client, site, or project, or that is more than six months old.

Obtain Professional Assistance to Deal with Moisture Infiltration and Mold While your geotechnical engineer may have addressed groundwater, water infiltration, or similar issues in this report, none of the engineer’s services were designed, conducted, or intended to prevent uncontrolled migration of moisture – including water vapor – from the soil through building slabs and walls and into the building interior, where it can cause mold growth and material-performance deficiencies. Accordingly, proper implementation of the geotechnical engineer’s recommendations will not of itself be sufficient to prevent moisture infiltration. Confront the risk of moisture infiltration by including building-envelope or mold specialists on the design team. Geotechnical engineers are not building-envelope or mold specialists.

I. Introduction

A. The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) is committed to commissioning new facilities and systems required for the reliable, safe, and secure operation of the Great

Lakes National Cemetery in Oakland County, MI. This process will verify that systems are complete and functioning properly upon project completion, and that each facility’s maintenance staff has the appropriate system documentation and training.

B. Commissioning consists of systematically documenting that specified components and systems have been installed and started up properly, functionally tested to verify that systems are complete and functioning properly upon project completion, and that the

NCA FMD staff has the appropriate system documentation and training. In addition, Owner-personnel training will be verified and final project O&M documents will be reviewed for completeness.

C. This document is intended to be a roadmap for the parties involved in the commissioning process. The document will explain the systems to be commissioned, the process activities, the procedures to follow throughout the commissioning process, and the roles and responsibilities for each party involved. The commissioning activities will begin during the design phase of the project and proceed through the warranty period.

D. The team members for this project are committed to commissioning this facility and systems required for the reliable, safe, and secure operation of the facility. This process is intended to verify that systems are properly installed, configured and operating in accordance with the requirements of the project, and that operating personnel are adequately prepared to successfully operate the facility at project turnover.

E. The Commissioning Agent will be provided by the United States Department of Veterans

Affairs (VA) for the Great Lakes National Cemetery Phase II Development Project.

F. In this structure, all communications on contractual issues are strictly limited to communications between the Contract Officer/Contract Officer’s Representative

(CO/COR) and the AE Team and Prime Contractor. It is the practice of the NCA to require that communication between other parties to the contractors (i.e. AE

Subconsultants, Subcontractors and Vendors) be routed through these two prime contractors and the CO/COR

April 30, 2018 Page 3 Commissioning Plan

G. Commissioning is a process that relies upon high levels of communication and collaboration between all parties to the construction process. By its nature, the levels of communication and cooperation between the Commissioning Agent and all other parties to the construction process (Design and the Contractor Team) is essential to the success of the commissioning effort. In the absence of the relationships, cooperation and support created by this communication, the commissioning process will likely fail to achieve its ends.

H. With this fundamental conflict in mind, this Commissioning Plan has been developed to recognize that, in the execution of the commissioning process, the Commissioning Agent must develop effective methods to communicate with every member of the NCA, A/E team, and Contractor Team involved in delivering commissioned systems while simultaneously respecting the exclusive contract authority of the Contracting Officer.

Thus, all procedures outlined in this manual must be executed within the following limitations:

1. The Commissioning Agent may maintain a continuous open communication with the Cx Team, including Design Team, the Contractor Team, installing

Subcontractors and the Owner’s Team to facilitate a collaborative commissioning process subject to the specific limitations outlined below.

2. All communications shall be copied to the Project Manager (Design Phase) and

Resident Engineer (Construction Phase).

3. All Communications shall include specific reference to these contract limitations

(e.g., “All issues identified in this Commissioning Issues Log are subject to

Paragraph 2.5: Contractual Relationships in the NCA Commissioning Process

Manual.”

4. All information from the Commissioning Agent to any party involved in the project must be transmitted with the following clear limitations:

a. No communications (verbal or written) will be deemed to constitute direction that modifies the terms of any contract between the NCA and any party to the construction project.

b. Commissioning issues communicated in writing to the General Contractor and copied to the CPM/SRE are provided to all parties to the contract to expedite communication. All issues must be understood as the professional

April 30, 2018 Page 4 Commissioning Plan opinion of the Commissioning Agent and suggestions for issue resolution only until expressly approved as direction by the CPM or Site Resident Engineer.

c. In the event that any commissioning issue and suggested resolution are deemed to require either an official interpretation of the construction documents or are determined to require a modification of the contract documents, the Contracting Officer will issue an official directive to this effect.

d. All parties to the commissioning process shall be individually responsible for alerting the CO of any issues that they deem to constitute a potential contract change prior to acting on these issues.

e. Authority for design and construction issues resolution rests solely with the

Contracting Officer and his/her designated representative with appropriate technical guidance from the Design Team and/or Commissioning Agent.

III. Project Description

A. It is our understanding that the Project will provide the second phase of development by providing an additional ten (10) years of continued burial services to a Veteran population who has been served by this National Cemetery since it opened in 2006.

Without this project, NCA is projecting gravesite depletion of casketed gravesites by

Fiscal Year (FY) 2043. Although NCA statistical data indicates casketed gravesites are available until January 2043, the cemetery is reporting the casketed pre-placed crypt depletion will occur in October 2024. This project will provide an additional 10-year inventory of the more efficient, casketed, double-depth, pre-placed crypts before depletion of the current inventory also in FY 2024.

B. This project will include the development of approximately 30 acres of the remaining 469 undeveloped acres at Great Lakes National Cemetery to provide approximately 28,400 gravesites, including both casket and cremation sites in new burial sections. In addition to the new gravesites, irrigation will be extended into new burial sections compatible with the existing system, along with anticipated upgrades to existing security systems. GPS will be integrated into the site and a cemetery-wide electrical evaluation will be performed with upgrades to the electrical distribution system and installing emergency generators.

C. Scoping documents provided for determination of pricing include the RFP AE Scope of

Work, Commissioning Scope of Work, project schedule, master plan, an overlay mark-up of the Master Plan, and responses to requests for information issued by the Owner.

Additionally, the NCA Commissioning Process Manual was used to determine the deliverables for each phase of design and construction, as well as the requirements for crypt commissioning.
