Thompson <br /> Director, Asset Management Services <br /> Orange County Government <br /> Post Office Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough NC 27278 <br /> RE: Orange County Veterans Memorial PHASE 1 <br /> PROPOSAL FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES <br /> Dear Jeff: <br /> Following is our proposal for the design of Phase 1 of the Orange County Veterans Memorial as it <br /> relates to landscape architectural services. <br /> We understand that preparation of design and construction plans for Phase 1 will be based on the <br /> concept design as approved by the Orange County Veterans Memorial Committee on June 9, 2016, <br /> and site approval by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners on September 20, 2016. <br /> We understand the target budget for Phase 1 is approximately $75,000 for the proposed construction <br /> elements of the project, dependent on the ability to raise the necessary funds. <br /> Scope of Work <br /> Phase 1 will consist of the Ceremonial Circle, a flagpole, and associated hardscape elements (a wall <br /> depicting a base panel featuring Sacrifice and Freedom), and an ADA accessible approach. <br /> Also part of Phase 1 will be cleanup and landscape restoration of the Lower Meadow and surrounding <br /> undisturbed landscape. <br /> A. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT <br /> The Landscape Architect will assist with the following tasks for Phase 1: <br /> • Participate in design work sessions with the Veterans Memorial Committee. We understand that <br /> since we have already gone through the initial design process, most of the early level <br /> programming meetings may not be necessary. However, we also anticipate the need for at least <br /> two progress review meetings with the Committee to confirm the direction of the design <br /> development level plans, and to have a general consensus meeting. <br /> • Research and assemble proposed materials for the pavement surfaces, walls, benches, and other <br /> hardscape elements. We want to be sure of the availability and sources for obtaining the native <br /> `Hillsborough' quarried stone. Additional considerations were brought up regarding donor `brick' <br /> paving and we want to research these opportunities. Some of these material choices were <br /> presented at the schematic level during the concept design phase. <br /> • Site Plan (Design Development Level only)We will prepare an overall site plan showing the <br /> complete build-out of the project for later phases shown for reference and the initial phases more <br /> Landscape Architecture • Planning • Design <br />
