Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking expressions of interest to acquire land for a cemetery in Beaufort, South Carolina, or neighboring counties. The land must be at least 15 acres within a three-mile radius of the current Beaufort National Cemetery or at least 50 acres located within Beaufort County, Charleston County, Colleton County, or Dorchester County. The VA is looking for sites that can be used for cemetery purposes, with proximity to public transportation and utilities. Interested offerors must submit an expression of interest with required items, including site location, zoning, and use, approximate size, proof of ownership, and legal description.
Key points to consider:
• The VA is seeking land for a cemetery, which may be an expansion of the current Beaufort National Cemetery or a new cemetery.
• The land must meet specific criteria, including location, size, and zoning.
• The VA will only acquire land based on fair market value, as determined by a qualified appraiser.
• The VA will not acquire land that is within the 100-year flood plain, unless it has no practicable alternative.
• The VA will not acquire land with restrictive covenants, unless it has no practicable alternative.
