(Amendment 0001-09/16/2016)

C.1. INTRODUCTION

The Maritime Administration requires qualified conservation professionals with experience working with maritime-related artifacts to preserve part of its maritime heritage collection.

The Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) History Program is responsible for historical documentation and for the preservation and interpretation of its heritage assets to promote an understanding and appreciation of America’s merchant marine and maritime past.

Additionally, the History Program is responsible for MARAD’s compliance with Federal laws and regulations applying to historic preservation.

C.2. OBJECTIVES

The project’s objective is to conserve maritime heritage artifacts and bring them to a condition that is satisfactory for museum display.

These artifacts, the majority of which were removed from MARAD National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) vessels, vary in condition from excellent to very poor. The collection consists of numerous maritime-related objects, many of which date to the 1940s. Examples include but are not limited to the following: alidades; azimuth circles; barometers; ship’s bells; binnacles;

builder’s plates; name boards; among others. Examples of the different types of material include:

finished and unfinished brass; lead; glass; synthetic leather-like cover material; rubber;

aluminum; wood and more.

C.3. SCOPE

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials and supplies and services necessary to satisfactorily perform the requirements of this PWS in accordance with established guidelines for the treatment of museum objects. All work will be consistent with the Code of Ethics and
