Will Rotation #1 (first set of 120 objects) and Rotation # 2 (for a second set of 120 objects) be developed simultaneously? (e.g. they will pass through concept, design development and final design phases and approval together, but then the fabrication and installation will be offset? Or will the design of each be offset from one another? If the latter, what is the anticipated design schedule for Rotation #2?)

The overall design approach will serve for both rotations. Rotation 2 will change objects, and potentially some exhibit graphics, but will, as much as possible, provide like items, in size/format/story, as Rotation 1.

61 N/A – General Question

Does the Library envision Rotation #1 and Rotation #2 as two distinct, separate projects (with potentially significantly different visual character, graphic styles, and typology specifications, etc.)?

Deliverables schedule F-2 implies new partitions/ wall structures in Rotation #1 and different new partitions/ wall structures in Rotation #2.

65 N/A – General Question

Q 65.1 - If new partitions are envisioned, will this project be filed with the local authority having jurisdiction and would that filing be by the AOC?

Q 65.2 - Please clarify if there is any filing work in the scope of this contract for the exhibition designer.

AOC will not be involved with the review nor implementation of case interiors, wall partitions, etc.

66 N/A – General

In addition to using the existing casework, could you confirm if there is a desire for new casework in Rotation 1 and Rotation 2, and if so, if that new casework in Rotation #1 would be different than the new casework in Rotation #2? The Deliverables schedule F-2 implies new casework in Rotation #1 and different new casework in Rotation #2.
