The City of Beaufort is seeking proposals from qualified master planners and landscape architects for the design and build of a proposed passive park commemorating the 1st South Carolina Volunteers of African Descent (1SCVAD) of the U.S. Army. The 1SCVAD was the Union's first-formed black regiment that went into service during the Civil War in 1862, influenced federal law that allowed men of color to serve in the military, had some influence on Lincoln’s decision to emancipate the enslaved, and became the foundation for Black and African American military service in the United States. “The history of the 1st SC Volunteers of African Decent Infantry Regiment is unique to our country’s history, our state’s history, and to the history of the Lowcountry.?Our planned 1st SC Volunteers of African Descent Park’s location along the gateway to our city on Boundary Street will set the tone for both residents and visitors alike as to historical significance of our city,” said Councilman Mitch Mitchell. “Our intention is that this park will be a fitting memorial to the courage, contributions and sacrifices made by these men and their families.?Theres is a history that has been largely neglected,” said City Manager Scott Marshall. “Now, more than ever, it is a moral imperative to do all we can to ensure that the story of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers of African Descent lives and that their legacy continues to thrive in perpetuity.” The?non-mandatory?pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. on February 21st in?Planning Department Conference Room on the first?floor of City Hall.? Questions are due by 4 p.m. on February 26th. ?Answers will be posted by 4 p.m. on February 28th. Bids submissions are due on or before 2 p.m. on March 21st.
