A/E Design Services for Veterans Cemetery Enhanced Beautification Project

Rockland County Department of General Services Purchasing Division is requesting proposals for architecture and engineering design services for an enhanced beautification project at two veterans cemeteries—Gary Onderdonk Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Suffern and Frederick W. Loescher Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wesley Hills—under RFP-RC-2026-CP1491-001, with proposals due August 18, 2026. The County anticipates awarding a single contract.

The scope requires a qualified architecture/engineering firm or landscape architect to develop comprehensive, implementable designs that honor veterans through dignified and patriotic aesthetics, improve the visitor experience for families and veterans organizations, address existing site deficiencies, plan for long-term maintenance and sustainability, and enhance safety, accessibility, and functionality while preserving the solemn character of the grounds. The County emphasizes professional solutions reflecting contemporary veterans cemetery design and management practices rather than cosmetic improvements alone.
