The contractor who receives the award must move, temporarily place, and subsequently re-install the Richmond Cycle sculpture by Richard Hunt at the Frank Hagel Federal Building in Richmond, California.

The GSA has set aside this opportunity for a certified small business, including responsible small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled veteran owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and women-owned small businesses.
The GSA estimates the cost of this project to be between $100,000 and $250,000; anticipates awarding a contract in late March or early April 2017; and intends to award a firm-fixed price competitive acquisition using the Simplified Acquisition Procedures found in FAR Part 13, basing the award on lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA).

Further, the Fine Arts Conservator must be specialized in objects conservation and possess demonstrable experience handling similar types of objects, contexts, and problems.
