1.6. Environmental Compliance. Based upon Department of Veterans Affairs “Environmental

Effects of VA Actions,” 38 CFR Part 26. Development at the national cemetery shall be in compliance with applicable federal statutes, Executive Orders, and state and local regulations establishing environmental standards. Both an Environmental Site Assessment and a Cultural

Resource Survey have been completed with no adverse effects identified related to the land acquisition. A Finding of No Significant Impact has been prepared as a result of the Final

Environmental Assessment for NCA project 817CM3020.

1.7. Historic Compliance. Crown Hill Cemetery is an existing private cemetery and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1973 under Criterion C, Criteria

Consideration D, for its significance in the fields of landscape architecture and architecture.

However the portion of Crown Hill Cemetery north of West 38th Street (the project area) is not included in the NRHP-listed portion of the cemetery, as it was not designed with a planned landscape and is mostly of recent origin.

1.8. Asbestos Abatement/Lead Paint Removal. Not required. The proposed is new construction.

1.9. Accessibility. All features of the development shall be fully accessible to physically disabled persons, in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act-1990 (ADA), Architectural

Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA), as amended, and all other applicable policies governing barrier-free access. To achieve compliance, the NCA uses as its standard for building and facility design the

Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS-2015) https://www.access-board.gov/aba/. All aspects of compliance are to be discussed and exceptions may apply based on site conditions.

1.10. Wetland Survey. Not required. The proposed site is not within a wetlands area.

2.0. PROJECT ELEMENTS AND DESIGN CRITERIA

2.1. Topographic Survey. The contractor shall obtain a limited topographic survey as base information for the subject areas and will base survey on existing VA benchmarks or monument control already established on site. The Government will provide the topographic survey and controls information provided by Muxlow Surveying, dated April 16, 2018 upon start of design.

6.0 OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

6.1. Each national cemetery is managed by VA National Cemetery Administration (NCA) personnel in conformance with national and regional policies, priorities, goals, and objectives.

The functions of a national cemetery include the operation and maintenance of all aspects of the cemetery. Typically, this includes burial of veterans and eligible family members, the interment of cremated remains, and the placement and maintenance of a headstone or grave marker.

Cemetery operations include the conduct of Memorial Day and other special ceremonies, as well as the care of graves, structures and grounds. Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm. Closed federal holidays except Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

6.2. All work must take place during normal operating hours. Any request to work over these hours must be requested in writing and approved by Cemetery Director in conjunction with COR a minimum of 24 hrs. in advance. Also, the Cemetery hosts numerous ceremonies and events.

Work that interferes with these ceremonies will cease during ceremonies. Notice will be provided by the Cemetery staff 5 days in advance of scheduled ceremonies whenever possible.

Occasionally events are scheduled with less than 5 days’ notice in which case the Cemetery will provide as much notice as is possible.

6.3. Parking is limited. Construction staff vehicle parking areas are to be coordinated with the

COR and cemetery director. Offsite parking will be required, VA NCA will not reimburse for such parking.

6.4. No smoking inside cemetery grounds.

6.5. Proper attire and professional conduct are required at all times.

6.6. All work must cease during the time an internment is taking place near the construction site.

Special care must be taken to accommodate visitors and to ensure work does not interfere with their visit and ensure that there are no safety hazards present.

8.0. PROJECT MEETINGS AND REVIEWS

8.1. Site Visits. Contractor shall coordinate with NCA PM and Cemetery Director as needed.

8.2 Project meetings. Contractor shall host and moderate progress meetings bi-weekly with the

NCA and applicable parties. If it is determined by the NCA Project Manager that project progress is hindered, project progress meetings will occur weekly at no additional cost to the government. Contractor shall invite attendees to meetings using Microsoft Outlook TEAMs

Meeting for Business or similar, and provide agenda prior to each meeting. Contractor shall attach agenda and other documents to be reviewed during meeting to meeting invites in

Microsoft Outlook. The agenda can be the meeting minutes from the previous progress meeting.

The Contractor shall host meetings, set up dates, times, location, and conference calls. Purpose of meetings is to discuss jointly such matters as procedures, progress, problems, scheduling, coordination, changes, discrepancies, and submissions. Contractor shall record meeting minutes, send to meeting attendees within two (2) business days after meeting, and attach updates to subsequent meeting invites in Outlook.

8.3. Reviews. All comments and changes shall be coordinated through the NCA Project

Manager. If the Contractor makes changes or modifications based on comments from VA entities other than the Project Manager, the Contractor is at risk and at their own expense will revise the changes. The VA will review each submittal and return comments to the Contractor in accordance with the schedule. Contractgor must respond in writing to all comments within one week of receipt of VA comments. Subsequent work shall reflect outcome of review and changes made based on VA comments. Contractor will work directly with NCA Project Manager to determine where conflicts occurs among respondents. Late comments following review period or comments on elements shown in a previous submission will be examined on a case by case basis for impact on scope and schedule.

7. Chemical analysis shall be performed to determine if site conditions exist which might be detrimental to buried concrete, steel, cast iron, or ductile iron, such as the presence of sulfates or carbon dioxide.

8. Soils Report: The results of the subsurface investigation and related testing, together with interpretations, discussions, and foundation recommendations shall be presented in the form of a detailed soil report. Foundation and soils investigation shall be conducted in conformance with chapter 18 of the IBC. The report shall include items noted in IBC1802.6 and the following at a minimum:
