The contract will include a government option for: design build RFP package or construction document preparation; construction period services, and site visits. Probable Scope: The project will develop approximately 15 acres on land transferred from VHA which is adjacent to the existing cemetery and will provide for about ten years of burial capacity. Development will consist of approximately 3,000 gravesites including 2,500 casket interments, 750 columbarium niches and 250 in-ground sites for cremated remains. The project will also include memorial walls to commemorate those whose remains are not available for interment. To optimize the use of available land for gravesites, the project will install pre-placed concrete crypts. In addition to the gravesite development, the construction includes access roads; an entrance area; flag/assembly area; two permanent committal shelters; an administration building/public information center with electronic gravesite locator and public restrooms; memorial walkway/donations area; maintenance complex; road system; utilities; signage; site furnishings; fencing; irrigation system as needed consistent with water-wise landscaping principles; utility distribution system; environmental (including historical and cultural resources) preservation and mitigation.
