C. 5.1.7 Researcher: The contractor shall provide (1) researcher to work on exhibit content in researching historic records, online materials, and photographs and work closely with Army Museum staff to follow the exhibit’s interpretive plan and storyline.

C. 5.1.8 Artifact Case Layouts: The contractor shall design artifact case layouts based on information provided by the Government. This will include an artifact list, complete with dimensions, weights for artifacts that exceed 40 lbs., and images. Any special display requirements that need to be taken into account should also be provided. The contractor shall evaluate information provided by the Government and coordinate with them to ensure that requested revisions can be accommodated in the case. It is assumed there will be one round of reviews for each revised artifact case layout, and any revisions will be made and submitted to the Government electronically for another review and approval.

C. 5.1.9 Artifact/Exhibit Cases: The contractor shall fabricate custom-made artifact cases based off the artifact layout and information provided by the Government. This shall include development of glass cases, acrylic casework, metal and wooden bases based on exhibit design. The contractor shall make the cases to be reused for future exhibits; therefore, they must be able to be removable and not affixed to the floor. These cases must be designed with retractable and/or lockable caster wheels (non-metal) in order for them to move easily. The contractor shall produce a number of specially designed active-system cases to support/protect rare and fragile artifacts that require special care/instructions as dictated by the client. An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) device is needed to ensure cases stay active during a power outage..
