ODNR Nature Center Exhibits

The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) has established an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for visual art services, specifically focused on nature center exhibit design and development. This contract enables the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to procure specialized design services through a structured two-phase award process. The IDV covers comprehensive exhibit-related services including project management, script and content development, and schematic design, with pre-established hourly rates for key project components: $150/hour for project management, $50/hour for script and content development, and $150/hour for schematic design development.

The IDV is awarded to Graphite Design + Build Limited, a Toledo, Ohio-based company, and is effective from January 24, 2023, to June 30, 2026. As a competitive selection, two-phase contract, it operates as a requirements contract for ODNR with no guaranteed purchase volume. The contract covers the state of Ohio and requires all costs to be quoted in U.S. Dollars, with no additional reimbursement for travel or related expenses. Subcontractors must have their qualifications submitted and approved before performing work, and the primary contractor is expected to lead all project components with minimal ODNR assistance.
