Description

The Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (hereinafter, “Department”) invites Vendors specializing in fine arts moving to submit bids to move the collections and storage equipment of the NC Museum of History (hereinafter referred to as “Museum”) from 5 East Edenton Street, Raleigh, NC to two warehouses within 20 miles of the museum. The work consists of moving the artifact collection, which consists of 90,000+ items and is located on all floors and the exterior of the building. The existing shelving and storage equipment at the Edenton Street location will need to be disassembled, transported to the warehouse, then reassembled by the Vendor. Many of the artifacts will need specialized handling, and some will need specialized rigging by the Vendor. These types of artifacts have a range of fragility and are a range between household items, clothing, jewelry, furniture, military armaments, structures, cars, and small appliances. It is anticipated that approximately ¾ of the packing will be accomplished by Museum staff, the Vendor will need to complete the rest. Early estimates indicate about 300 pallet loads + large furniture + rigged items. All packing materials will be furnished by the Museum, but Vendor shall be responsible for furnishing moving equipment and tools, specialized rigging equipment, carts and A-Frames. The intent of this solicitation is to award an Agency Contract.
