Museum and Interpretive Services

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is seeking respondents to award multiple blanket contracts to provide a variety of Museum and Interpretive Services for the State Parks Division's Interpretation Services Program. The requested services include creative development, graphic design, illustration, fabrication, and installation for museum exhibits and interpretive displays at Texas state parks and historic sites. The RFP outlines the need for services ranging from simple outdoor interpretive signs to full-scale visitor center exhibits. Respondents may submit proposals for some or all of the listed services. Proposals are due on October 1, 2024 by 2:00 PM CT. TPWD intends to award multiple contracts with an initial term of five years, from the date of award through October 31, 2029, with potential extensions up to 12 months.

There are no set-aside requirements, and TPWD does not guarantee any minimum or maximum quantity of services or dollar amount under the resulting contracts. Respondents may be design-only firms or design-build firms providing both design and fabrication services, and subcontractors must meet the same qualifications as the primary contractor. TPWD will evaluate proposals based on factors such as pricing, qualifications, experience, location, availability, and approach to determine best value for each individual project. The RFP does not mention any incumbent vendors or budget ranges.
