Description

The Honor Garden provides a meaningful and therapeutic space for veterans to gather, reflect, and honor the memory of fellow veterans. In the previous building, this Honor Garden was located in the courtyard and served as an important place for remembrance and healing. However, the newly constructed building does not include a dedicated area for this purpose. Providing a dedicated Honor Garden in the new facility ensures continuity of this valued tradition and preserves a space where veterans can hang remembrance tags, pay tribute to fallen comrades, and find emotional and spiritual support. This garden fosters healing, camaraderie, and reflection, while promoting mental and emotional well-being within the veteran community. Establishing this dedicated space reinforces respect, dignity, and peaceful environment for remembrance and connection in the new facility. The intent of this project is to provide contractor services necessary to provide a dedicated Honor Garden in the new Mental Health Outpatient Building 600. The Contractor shall provide all necessary due diligence work including survey evaluation, calculations, cost estimates, and construction period services necessary for this project in accordance with items herein specified. The Contractor is to provide design, labor, materials, construction equipment, technical skills, and transportation necessary to perform work for the landscape improvements.
