Community College Veterans Monument

The Community College Foundation has funding for a project to design, construct and install an outdoor public art piece (Veterans monument) for the campus of the local Community College. They want you to create the RFP.

The projects goal is to create a timeless monument that honors every US Veteran and service member; past, present, and future.

Embody every branch of service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard).

Not be specific to any particular era or conflict.

Be gender-neutral.

The monument will be constructed of materials that are permanent, low maintenance, and ecologically friendly.

Permanence including inherent resistance to theft, vandalism, weathering, and excessive maintenance or repair cost.

Structural and construction considerations including consistency with current engineering standards and public safety.

Except for the placement of a pad and the monument foundation, there are no utility needs anticipated.

The total cost of this monument should not exceed $75,000.

The ideal target date for monument completion is November 11th of this year; however, no later than January 11th of next year.
