Government Responses to RFI Question 15 4.14.2022.pdf

This document contains responses to questions regarding solicitation number 36C10F22R0033 from the Department of Veterans Affairs for construction services at the Los Angeles National Cemetery. The solicitation is for Phase 1C of the development project to provide renovations and upgrades to select structures at the cemetery, including the columbarium, cloister, columbarium restrooms, and rostrum. The purpose is to protect remains and enhance the integrity of historically sensitive buildings. In response to a question about evaluating settling of the ground below the rostrum foundation, the VA response is that the rostrum area soils have not been evaluated as the design intent is to not disturb the over 90-year-old in-situ grounds. The intent is to replace the current pergola structure and repair any discovered structural deficiencies below.
