MASTER PLAN
A.
GENERAL
1.
The goal of the Master Plan is to present a comprehensive, long-
range development plan for the national cemetery.
2.
The objective of the Master Plan is to provide an orderly, professional,
and aesthetic development plan, with associated cost estimates, for the entire
cemetery site.
3.
The Master Plan shall be detailed enough to enable VA to proceed
directly into preparation of Design Development for each phase of cemetery
development.
B.
PLANNING APPROACH
1.
The development of the Master Plan is an interactive process
between VA and the A/E. The Master Plan shall incorporate the elements listed in
the Scope of Work for the project.
2. The site analysis process shall evaluate all man-made and natural site
features. The A/E will document findings of the analysis in the Site Characteristics
Report.
3. Relationships between structures, circulation, and site features shall be
combined to produce both a functional and aesthetic plan. The plan shall reflect the
history of the region, the culture of the people and veterans of the area. Materials
used shall convey strength, permanence, and reflect the regional design vernacular.
4. Agency consulting/review/approval services include: agency consultations,
research of critical applicable regulations, appearance at agency and community
meetings/hearings as requested by the VA.
