- Description
- Solicitation Package The Gift Coordinators Office of the Library of Congress requires the services of commercial shipper to transport approximately 40 donor gifts per year, ranging greatly in size and distance, safely and efficiently, into the Library’s custody. The work requires the transportation of small loads as few as 4 to 5 boxes as well as loads consisting of multiple skids of boxes transported from anywhere in the United States and throughout the world. In addition to transportation, the fine arts shipper will also be required to provide packing services. The work requires a special knowledge and understanding of the packing and shipping of library materials in all formats. A prospective fine arts shipping firm must be fully bonded and insured, that its trucks are licensed, and the drivers and workers are fully trained and capable to do the job assigned. Respondents should provide proof of being bonded. The Gift Coordinator’s Office expects that the successful contractor will assign one shipping agent to handle all Library of Congress fine arts gift transportation activities, to act as the liaison between the contractor and the Gift Coordinator’s Office, and that the agent accord all due respect and consideration when contacting Library donors in the task of arranging the transportation of gift collections.
