The contractor must accommodate two life-size historical portraits (George Washington, approximately 2.6 m × 1.7 m; Mohamed Sadok Bey, approximately 226.7 cm × 137.2 cm) with minimum viewing distance of 50 centimeters, incorporate humidity-control systems following museum conservation practices, and design all elements for dismantling and future reinstallation. Installation must occur within 45 days of award, with dismantling completed within 7 calendar days after exhibit closure. The exhibition is anticipated to be open September through December 2026.
