I , m o w of Construction Docum- A. NCA will ensure that SHPQ, ACHP, and tha Consulting Parties ars provided

wlth hardcopies of the construction drawings at the 90% progress submission milestone for rsvlaw and cammenting.

B. SHPQ, ACHP, and Consulting Parties will bs afforded at least 30 calendar days to review the construction documents and ccrrnmsnt on them via lattsr ar email,

C, NCA will consider all comrnsnts received and incorporata as appropriate.

12 rnonths to complete, B, Oua to circumstances beyond ths control of NCA, Zhs construction start and

end dates are subject to change. C. NCA will notify SHPO, ACHP, and the Consulting Parties when tho

constructibn contract is awarded and the anttclpatsd completion data,

A, Widening af the cernstery's main entrance is necsssary ta address traffic and safety Issues, In consultation with the Fort Sam Houston Bas0 Englnesr, NCA explored several options for maintaining rnultlple access points ta the csrnatary while addressing the Base's need to comply with the Departrnant af Defense's directive f ~ r farce protection, Options considerad Included a naw cemetery access point off Wlnans Road, closura of Nursery ,

Road betwesn WInans Road and golf course malntenance yard to bass traffic, and traffic control devices at the intersection of Nursery Road and $an Antonio Blvd., with each option keeping the current Base access control point east of Nursery Road or moving it just east of the proposed new cemetery access point off Winans R~ad , In July 201 1, the Base Commander announced that Fart Sam Houston wlll be relocating the Basa's secure entry control point on Wlnans Road to the intarsectIan with Harry Wurzbach Road, tl major nor2h/south artery. The Base's control, point relocation will eliminate Nursery Road as an alternate access point to the cemetery and force all cemetery ingrasslegress traffic thraugh the San Antonio Blvd, access polnt, The widening of the exit from one lane to two lanes will allow for a clearly defined exit route far bath northbound and south bound traffic while minimizing the exit queuing typically experienced without the irurprovernsnt.

8, NCA will ensure that the entrance gate is wlderlsd in accordance wlth the specifications set forth in the construction documents (Appendix 2)) and specifically that: 1. Ths overall appearance of the new gate will replicate the materials,

proflls, and finish of the original gate; 2. The twa original gate leaves will be r~ttained at @Ither side, with a new

leaf added at the middle as shown In Appendix 2; and 3. Tha relocated column at the north side of the ontranco will be

raconstructsd using aalvaged materials, to the greatest extent feasible.

IV. pebulfd]na Stone Walls, h t l o r ~ Itam 2)

A. The 30% Design Submittal Included a dstailsd analysis of the perimeter stone walls along the north, west, and south boundary of the cemstsry's historic sect'ron. In general, tho wall s~tgrnsnts were found to bs in poor condition wlth large vsrticai crack$, ~8grnent6 of wall laanlng two degraas or greater, deterloratlng stonework, and damaged concrete caps. The existing perimeter walls do not meet NCAs maintenance standards for maintaining cemeteries at national shrine lovels,

0. NCA had considerad a wholasale demolition and replacement of the perimster walls with walls of like kind but has agreed with SHPQ, ACHP, and the Consulting Parties to address the failures In ths walls as fallows:

1. In consultation with ths SMPQ, NCA will identify any segments of the wal[ along Harry Wurzbach Road that are suitable for repair rather than replacement, and will rspair any such segmerrts,

2. NCA wllf replacs those wall segments that cannot be topaired using stone of the same type, siza, and shape as that emplayed In the original construction. NCA will build the replacement walls using mortar joints of the same hardness, profile, and dimension as that foatured in tha original masonry work. NCA will snsure that the work is complsted under the supervision of an experiancsd stonemason.

3. NCA will not increase the height or width of the wall,

4. NCA may reinforce the wall as necessary, providsd such reinforcement is not visible once the wall is finished.

5. In llrnited areas along the northern boundary of the cemetery where the cemstery wall also serves as tha perimeter for Fort Sam Houston, NCA rimy employ a composite stone bass and wrought iron lop, if NCA finds it to be desirable. If NCA pursues thls option, it will ensure that tha reconstructad stone base matches the profile and dimensions of drlginal wafl, and that the wrought iron top is designed to be In keeping with tha character of other historic wrought iron elements, such as the antrance gate, slsswhers within the cemetery.

v, A. In lieu af demolishing the existing Administration Building (Bldg. #I 002)

which is NCA's preferrsd altarnative, MCA has agreed with SHPO, ACHP, and Consulting Parties to relocate the bulidlng and ranovate it far use by tho Honor Guard,

8, NCA will employ 8 professionally qualifiad mover famlliar with mavlng historlc structures to relocate the Administration Building to the location shown in Appendix 3, in a rnannsr consistent with ths guidalinas set forth in Moving Hisiarfc Buildings by John Obed Curtis w m , j ~ l s m . a r a / w & m u ~ i o a d g 2 O I 311 2 l m q v m jnas.~df~

C. NCA will demolish the 1 a808 addltion to the Admlnistratltlan Building prior to relocation.

D, NCA will fandscape around the building with plant material that is both appropriatte to the period of the building and compatible with the environment,

The relocation will alirninate Nursery Road at San Antonio Blvd* as a crosslng point to the eastern section of the cemetery dividing the cemetery in 'two and making the eastern saction inaccessible to both visitors and cemetsry personnel. The only option accsptable to the Bass and NCA is the construction of a San Antonio Blvd, Ovsrpass at the intersection which will physlcatly separate military traffic from civilian traffic.

B. NCA will ensure that the San Antcsnia BIvd Overpass is designed and constructed in substantial conformance with the Design Developmsnt drawings datad March 18, 2012, subjsct to further consultation with the SHPO and Consyltlng Parties, and that the guardrail an the overcrossing will be horizontal with faux $tan@ pilasters,
