Master Plan drawing set will be hard line finish on standard VA mylar drawing
sheets.
(2) Site Characteristics Report:
The A/E shall prepare a report of site
characteristics from an analysis of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), data
gathered from personal site visits and the topographic, utility, and landscape
surveys. The site analysis process should reflect an understanding of all natural
systems of the site. The report shall document the analysis process and shall
contain:
(a) Graphic and narrative description of the cemetery site.
(b) Graphic and narrative description of the vicinity relationships with the
cemetery site. The resulting vicinity map will also be used in the set of Master Plan
drawings.
(c) Site Analysis Plans that illustrate:
[1] Significant constraints for construction and burials that must be
considered during the planning of the site. Include site and utility constraints in
adjacent off-site areas (steep grades [15% slope is maximum for interment areas],
flood plains, rock outcroppings, etc.).
[2] Potential entrances - public and maintenance. Plans must show the
primary access routes to and around the property with notations of any traffic control
signals and future plans for adjacent development and roadway improvements that
might affect the site and proposed cemetery.
[3] Potential site organization - burial, maintenance and staff. Public
traffic includes funeral attendees and cemetery visitors. Maintenance traffic
includes headstone delivery, soil spoils, grounds maintenance supplies and
equipment and casketed remains, after the committal service.
(d) On-site utility service studies consisting of establishing requirements
and preparing initial designs for: Electrical service and distribution, natural gas
service and distribution, water supply and distribution, potable/non-potable
irrigation, site drainage, sanitary sewer system and disposal, process waste water
treatment for irrigation, storm water collection and disposal, security, pollution
control, site illumination, and communications systems.
(e) Off-site utility studies including: Location, size and adequacy of utilities
serving the site, the requirements for connections to the utilities, planning for off-site
utility extensions, and design of off-site utility extensions.
(f) Photographs of four views that characterize the site. These photos
should be 130 mm x 180 mm (5" x 7") prints, landscape format, black and white.
