3.0 Scope of Work

Contractor shall utilize material handling/weight handling equipment and/or rigging techniques to safely de-install macro artifacts. Artifacts are currently suspended or exhibited above an accessible height for museum staff to facilitate.

Contractor shall work in consultation with NMUSN staff to rig, lift, and set artifacts onto supplied crate bases.

Contractor and subcontractors shall be licensed and insured.

Contractor shall assist with the placement of artifacts at the Collection Management Facility utilizing material handling equipment.

Contractor shall supply a transportation skid/pallet base for the Ohka and blocking/cribbing for the Ohka to be placed on after being lowered to the museum floor.

4.0 Requirements

Contractor shall comply with all relevant local, state and federal safety regulations per OSHA.

Contractor shall supply lift plans to NMUSN for review four weeks prior to work commencing.

NMUSN needs one month to request any road closures or report other impacts to the Washington Navy Yard community. Contractor shall supply a detailed request to NMUSN of requirements to conduct the de-installation and move. Requirements should indicate number of vehicles which will be on base for the project, and have the ability to park and be staged along the west side of Building 76 on Paulding Street.

Contractor shall supply all vehicles necessary to move the artifacts from the Washington Navy Yard (WNY) to their final destinations and any other equipment necessary to fulfill this contract. Contractor shall supply all necessary personnel and material handling equipment (MHE), weight-handling equipment (WHE), to load and unload material from/within the WNY to the CMF and successfully fulfill this contract.

gantries, dollies, hand trucks, forklifts, scissor lifts and pallet jacks. All personnel operating (MHE/WHE) must be licensed and experienced handling fragile as well as oversized material.

The contractor shall furnish clean and mechanically sound, material handling equipment and supplies.

As directed by NHHC staff, crates may need to be banded. Artifacts on pallets/and or mounts must be either soft packed and banded or marine-grade industrial shrink wrapped and banded. Contractor shall supply all materials.

Shrink wrap will be similar/identical to material used to shrink wrap boats for the winter (weatherized). If it is determined that heavy duty shrink wrap will damage the object, contractor will soft pack the object.

Contractor shall only use metal banding. For those palletized objects not in crates, contractor will ensure that the metal banding is not directly touching the artifact. This will involve soft packing or other physical barriers to ensure secure transport as well as the physical integrity of the artifact. Contractor will ensure that the banding does not damage the artifact(s).

Contractor shall unload and place artifacts within the CMF in Richmond at the direction of the staff.

Special Consideration for Each Location –

Washington Navy Yard (WNY): Building 76

Traffic flow at the WNY is very restricted and access by 18-wheel, 53’ tractor trailers can be problematic. The normal access hours for commercial vehicles at the WNY are from 09:30 -14:00. It may be necessary to arrange for extended evening or weekend hours or early morning arrivals. These assist the traffic flow and limit access impediments to all streets.

Access requirements can be found at Gate Access (navy.mil)
