2. SITE DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL
a. The A/E shall become thoroughly familiar with the cemetery site. The A/E is
expected to provide the following in narrative and graphic form:

site roads and utilities.
(2) A circulation study to evaluate ingress/egress to the site by cars, trucks,
mass transit traffic and pedestrians, including the physically disabled.

based on the requirements in the Scope of Work for the project.
c. Show on the development concept, proposed structures, interment areas,
and the other scope requirements including site preparation and demolition. Show
expansion potential.
d. Indicate finish floor elevations for each proposed structure and spot
elevations at critical locations such as entrances, walks, intersections, etc.

topographic, utility, and landscape surveys at a scale of 1:400 (approximately
1" = 30'). Submit your survey specifications to the VA Project Manager for
