About this file
This statement of work outlines the requirements for a contract to conserve an outdoor bronze bust of the figure "Tamanend" at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The scope of work includes washing the bronze bust and granite base with non-ionic detergent and clean water, touching up the bronze patina to blend weathered areas to achieve a deep brown patina, applying a protective micro-crystalline wax coating after preheating the bust with a propane torch, buffing the bust's surface after cooling, and preparing a conservation report detailing treatment methods and materials. The contractor must provide all necessary access to the bust through means such as scaffolding or a lift, and work will take place on site between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday through Friday, completing before temperatures reach freezing. The contractor will require vetting and base access to the Naval Academy, where screening can take up to two hours, so delays should be anticipated. All work must be conducted according to the appropriate conservation standards and guidelines.
