Rock and Mineral Exhibits Fabrication

The State of Nevada, through the Nevada Division of Minerals, is seeking qualified vendors to submit proposals for the review, fabrication, delivery, and installation of a pre-designed interactive museum exhibit for the Reno Discovery Museum, as well as the creation of a technical manual for the exhibit. The contract is divided into three phases: design specification review and modification, fabrication, delivery and installation, and creation of a technical manual. The awarded vendor contract is expected to be for less than one year, subject to Board of Examiners approval, with a target completion date of March 31, 2022. The evaluation of proposals will be based on factors such as experience, cost, competence, expertise of key personnel, and conformance with the RFP terms. Mandatory minimum requirements include compliance with indemnification and liability terms, and a five percent preference will be given to Nevada-based businesses. References and financial information must be provided, and subcontractors are permitted with proper oversight.

The contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The State has allocated up to $49,499 toward this project and will award one contract.
