Title of Project: Wind Chime Fabrication Completion, Flight 93 National Memorial, FLNI 200729B Description:

The National Park Service, Denver Service Center requires a firm fixed price supply contract to assemble 40 large wind chimes for the “Tower of Voices”. The effort will be to combine various Government provided materials, with other contractor provided materials, either fabricated per the design or obtained from various commercial or custom sources, into the final chime assemblies. Final assemblies may require minor refinement of the designed components. The final 40 chime assemblies will then be installed by others at the 93 foot tall concrete tower to function as a monumental musical instrument. The tower is located at the entrance to the park and functions as the first and last feature visitors see as they arrive and depart the Memorial. The final design of the chimes assemblies is predominately completed, however some final design will likely be required during assembly. The chimes tubes are 8 inch outside diameter with 1/2 inch thick walls, are made of aluminum and range in length from 5 to 10 feet. The total assembly length is a maximum of 18 feet approximately.

Please note: This procurement will contain an extremely tight delivery schedule and will require a creative and dynamic firm with the resources and scheduling abilities to deliver unique high profile musical instruments meant to honor the passengers and crew of Flight 93.

Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror’s technical capability in comparison to its price.

Estimated Price Range: Between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
