- The Bureau of Reclamation, Hoover Dam, Boulder City, Nevada, is seeking sources for Conservators specializing in different types of materials to perform a Collection Condition Survey on the Hoover Dam Collection. This requirement will be completed in two blocks. The collection contains approximately 5600 artifacts.

The remaining portion of the collection includes badges, electrical instruments, clothing, artwork, models, ethnographic pieces and other miscellaneous objects. Primary material types include paper, wood, metal, glass, textitles and synthetics. In Block 1, Reclamation will hire one or more field appropriate conservators to perform an on-site conservation survey (Collection Condition Survey) on the "Hoover Dam Collection". Artifact condition assessments and treatment recommendations identified in the final conservation report will be reviewed by museum personnel to determine what stabilization measures, restoration, or other necessary treatments shall be performed. In Block 2, stabilization measures, restoration and other necessary treatments will be performed on artifacts selected by the museum personnel based on the conservator's recommendations identified in the Conservation Survey Report. The conservators shall provide Reclamation with treatment reports, by accession or artifact, when conservation work is complete. Interested parties should submit a response to this announcement. Responses should clearly state the name, address, telephone, and fax numbers and e-mail address of their company.
