CDC will provide the pictures to the vendor for framing. The vendor can pick it up from us. Hopefully, this is a local vendor. Otherwise, we would have to ship the pictures to the vendor for framing.

Please advise frame number and/or image of the frame you would like the items to be framed in.

I don't have the vendor's catalog (correction: catalog ) from which to choose from.

We would like the frames to be the following - 1 ½ " wood frame, black color, ¾ " thick.

Some of the artwork will be matted. The mat color will be standard white/off-white, 4"

The pictures will already be printed by CDC.

2. Please advise if all (200) pieces will be installed at the same time or during the time period of September 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. If the installation is going to be performed in phases during this time window, please advise the quantity of pieces being installed in each phase.

The installation will be performed in 2 - 3 phases.

Are the posters already printed and we are just to frame them and hang them? If so, how do we obtain the printed posters? Otherwise, do you require us to provide printed artwork?

The poster will already be printed.

The vendor will only provide the framing.

There is no style or type of frame specified (Metal or Wood), frame color (Black, Cherry, Gold, Silver, etc.) and thickness of the frame (1" flat, 1.5" ornate, etc.). Is the Government expecting us to provide the color, type and thickness of the frame?

Will the Government accept multiple frame choices for selecting the frame that best suits the overall design of the artwork and space where they will be finally hung?

Will the Government accept samples of frames and mats for selection within a reasonable time to allow calculation of pricing based on selection? Is a PDF with pictures sufficient or will the Government want real samples for selection?

Mat colors is not specified, will we be required to provide unique mat colors for each piece or a standard white/off-white for all pieces. If they are all the same, can the Government provide the color of choice?
