Washougal_Veterans_Memorial_RFQ.pdf

This is a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the City of Washougal, Washington, soliciting multidisciplinary consultant teams to provide professional landscape architecture, architecture, engineering, and related design services for the Washougal Veterans Memorial project. The project scope encompasses the design of a permanent memorial recognizing all six branches of the United States Armed Forces that will support ceremonies, reflection, education, and year-round visitation. The design must include an ADA-compliant arrival and circulation system with accessible parking or drop-off strategy, a continuous accessible route, gathering areas, seating, and viewing experiences. The memorial must also respect existing graves, support cemetery access and operations, and address utilities, drainage, and maintenance requirements while accommodating future cemetery needs. The design shall incorporate durable, maintainable monument, hardscape, landscape, flagpole, recognition, lighting, and ceremonial elements appropriate to the site and Pacific Northwest climate. The base project must be capable of being bid and constructed within available funding without reliance on future phases or additional fundraising, with optional bid alternates available for enhancements only after the base project is complete and affordable.

The RFQ does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, or incumbent information in the available file excerpt. The City has structured the project to ensure a complete, deliverable base project with defined scope and budget constraints, allowing for optional enhancements through alternates only after core requirements are met. Specific response dates, due dates, site visit schedules, and bidders' conference details are not provided in the summary information available. Qualified consultant teams should demonstrate experience with memorial design, ADA compliance, cemetery operations, and regional design standards appropriate to Washington State conditions.
