C. SUBMISSIONS
1. GENERAL
In addition to the on-site Master Plan 1 workshop and the Master Plan reviews
at VA in Washington, DC, informal meetings at the site, the A/E's office, or other
locations may be held upon mutual consent of the VA Project Manager and the A/E
to discuss the Master Plan and related issues.
2. MASTER PLAN 1 [MP 1]
a. The A/E shall initiate development studies of the site and prepare them
according to the schedule established in the contract. The A/E, after having
prepared the studies, will meet with a VA team at the site. The purpose of the
meeting is to select the preferred development concept. Several design
alternatives (minimum of three) shall be discussed at this meeting and one
alternative will be selected. No advance submittal of material is required.
b. Provide the following:
(1) Topographic, Utility, and Landscape Surveys: The A/E shall obtain
professional surveying services from licensed surveyors to provide a topographic,
utility, and landscape survey of the entire site. Specific survey requirements are
detailed in the Site Development Design Manual. General requirements for the
survey are provided here. All elevations will be based on U.S.C.&G. Survey
benchmarks. A permanent U.S.C.&G. Benchmark shall be established on the
cemetery site if none exists, as well as permanent property corner monuments. The
topographic survey shall include all features affecting site development, such as
contours at an appropriate interval approved by VA (approximate interval is 150
mm (.5 feet) to 1500 mm (5 feet)). Significant stands and prominent trees/plant
materials will be shown with size and specie identification. All property lines,
building line setbacks, and any leases, rights-of-way or easements within the limits
of this survey shall be located and shown. Surrounding land uses and property
owners by name, historic/archaeological sites, and natural features (lakes, rivers,
flood plains, wetlands, etc.) shall be identified on the survey drawings. The locations
and sizes of any utilities will be shown. The survey plans shall be made part of the
Master Plan drawing set.
Format:
Use two scales: 1:400 (approximately 1" = 30'), and the largest
conventional engineering scale (i.e., 1:1200 (1" = 100') or 1:2400 (1" = 200'), etc.)
that allows the entire cemetery site to fit on a single sheet. Show survey information
compositely on a single sheet, hard-line finish, on an Ortho Photo Base Topo Map.
Also provide survey information compositely at a scale of 1:400 (approximately 1" =
30') Use match lines for orientation and alignment. Provide survey drawings in an
Intergraph computer-aided design/drafting system (CADD) format in accordance
with the NCA CADD Standards Manual. All drawings that are part of the final
Program Guide, PG-18-15, Volume D
