These examples must be for repairs made to historic objects that are included in historic house collections that appear on the National Register of Historic Places or appear in an equivalent AAM accredited or recognized museum setting.

Factor 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE (limited to 5 pages)

The lead conservator overseeing this project must have a minimum of three years of object conservation training obtained through a degree program or a comparable period of apprenticeship with a reputable conservation services provider, which includes the conservation of historic wood objects or historic furniture/decorative arts.

b. The offeror shall submit a price quote separate from all other volumes; any pricing information found in the technical or past performance volumes will be removed prior to evaluation.
