Section 5.0
Although site-specific studies exist for most of VA's Critical sites, the intent of this
provision is to update those studies (done in mid-seventies) for all proposed
construction of new Critical and Essential Facilities and all existing Critical and
Essential Facilities selected for full seismic rehabilitation.
The standard practice of preparing a geotechnical report containing foundation
recommendations, soil-bearing values, results of any necessary soil borings, etc.
is still required for all VA projects.
