Work will include, but not be limited to asbestos abatement, and other specialty consultants required pertinent to the project requirements within the constraints of the construction budget consistent with the VA s project team goals as prioritized during project meetings and field surveys. Conduct preliminary meetings and site survey investigations to define the necessary elements of the project scope of work fulfilling the goals of the VA s project team (Engineering Svc), and presentation of preliminary layout plans with proposed alternatives to the User Group. Based on User Group meetings and site surveys, prepare a detailed project plan description report pertinent to the project requirements within the constraints of the construction budget consistent with the VA s project team goals.

All design submission requirements shall be in accordance to A/E Contract and conform to all VA criteria and standards, in addition to Commonwealth of Massachusetts state codes and regulations. The A/E shall use VA Program Guides, Design Manuals and Master Specifications in preparing the Construction Documents for the project.

The request shall include an explanation of the specific reasons for the desired change and benefits expected. Engage the services of all consultants in each discipline deemed to be necessary to fulfill the requirements of the project plan.

The A/E shall determine existing conditions, severity of deficiencies, if any previous deficiencies have been corrected and to identify any conditions which may have previously been unreported.
