Museum exhibition design and creation services

The Classic Center Authority (¿CCA¿), an Authority of the State of Georgia, in cooperation with the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and on behalf of the University of Georgia ("UGA"), is soliciting statements of qualifications from firms specializing in museum exhibition design and exhibition creation services to design and create exhibits and displays for the purpose of housing the Georgia Music Hall of Fame Collection (¿Collection¿) in specific areas of a new public arena currently being constructed in downtown Athens, Georgia, known as the Classic Center Arena (¿Arena¿). The Arena is one of a set of capital improvement projects included in a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax which was approved by Athens-Clarke County voters on November 5, 2019. This RFQ seeks to identify potential providers of the above-mentioned services. Some firms that respond to this RFQ may be deemed especially qualified through an evaluation process described herein to be eligible for further consideration by the CCA and UGA to provide these services as the ¿Museum Services Firm¿ and may be invited to interview for these services as a finalist, and/or provided additional instructions. All respondents to this RFQ are subject to instructions communicated in this document and are cautioned to completely review the entire RFQ and follow instructions carefully. CCA retains the right to reject any or all statements of qualifications or subsequent submittals and/or proposals, and to waive technicalities, irregularities, and informalities.
