Prime contractor should have licensed/registered landscape architects as members of the firm, or team, with experience in the planning and design of cemeteries, large institutional campuses, parks and recreational facilities, or similar land development projects. The following licensed/registered specialty disciplines should be members of the firm, or team with demonstrable expertise in their respective fields: Civil Engineer, Natural Resources Specialist, Water Management/Irrigation specialist, Cost Estimator, and Architect. This procurement for an A/E firm is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. Probable Scope: The project will develop a phased master plan for 37 acres adjacent to the existing cemetery in concert with identifying and developing master plan level (conceptual) designs for all remaining site development opportunities on the existing cemetery. This project will also design and develop the first phase of construction which will include approximately 7,000 pre-placed crypts, 10,700 columbarium niches and 8,000 in-ground cremation sites. The new site will include: a new memorial wall with ossuary; utilities, irrigation, and supporting infrastructure; access roads; and global positioning system site integration. In addition to development of the new acreage, the project will include the following scope within the existing cemetery: identify and design potential future burial sites; provide replacement or renovation of the existing maintenance and Administration buildings; removal of remaining underground storage tanks; demolition and replacement of the employee building 3003; new parking to have capacity for all employees at the maintenance area; development of a new spoils storage area and stabilization of the existing spoils area; renovation of existing Columbarium Number 2 walkways and water seepage; installation of water main to complete irrigation loop; utilities; as well as infrastructure repairs and upgrades as identified in the Study on Improvements to Veterans Cemeteries. The new buildings will incorporate enhanced information technology and physical security requirements and shall include Green Building Principles and Renewable Energy Initiatives. The completed buildings shall be LEED silver certified and meet all Federal Energy and Sustainability mandates.
