Huitt-Zollars is leading a multi -disciplined team in the preparation of an overall Master Plan and Phase I construction documents for a <br />new 500 -acre national cemetery for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The construction budget for Phase 1, including a "fast- <br />track" initial Phase IA, is $15.6 million. HZ is providing civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering, and plumbing design, and <br />is coordinating the cemetery planning, architecture, landscape architecture, Irrigation design, goolechnicai and environmental services, <br />and cost estimating. This cemetery will be one of six now cemeteries added to VA's 126 existing national cemeteries. Phase I construction <br />will include a Public Information Center/Administration Building, a Maintenance Building and yard, an assembly area, a committal shelter, <br />and internment areas for 1,700 traditional casket burial sites, 4,000 pre -placed concrete crypts, 500 in -ground cremain burial sites, and <br />3,000 columbarium niches. The challenges of this complex, large-scale project included optimizing grading with geological conditions and <br />constraints; preparation and processing of an environmental jurisdictional determination with USAGE and CDFG; coordination of utility service <br />extensions from a proposed water well to the site; and developing landscape planting and irrigation strategies to optimize use of the limited <br />supply of available groundwater. <br />I-- UITF E.M <br />City of Santa Ana Civil Engineering Services: RFP 17-083 11 <br />25E-235 <br />
