This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This Request for Quote (RFQ) and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-53. This solicitation is reserved for small businesses, NAICS 811420, Restoration and Repair of Antique Furniture with a small business size standard of $7.0M. The National Park Service encourages the participation of disadvantaged and women-owned businesses. The Government intends to issue a firm-fixed price contract to the responsible quoter whose total quote represents the best value for the Government, price and other factors considered. BACKGROUND: This project involves the conservation and treatment of furniture in the museum collection of the McLoughlin House, a unit of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The objects to be assessed and treated are currently on exhibit at the McLoughlin House, 713 Center Street, Oregon City, Oregon and include: a wardrobe, fainting couch, washstand, dining chairs, drop-leaf table, and game table. A site visit is recommended prior to submitting a quote. All work will be performed after award of contract. Condition Survey Forms summarizing the objects and their needs as well as digital photographs are included with this Scope of Work (SOW). Additionally the museum objects may be examined in person prior to submitting a quote. The work will consist of several stages to be completed either at the Contractor's laboratory or on-site at McLoughlin House. Again as mentioned above, this work will occur after the award; the museum objects may be examined in person prior to quote but this is left to the quoter's discretion. Stage 1: The Contractor will examine the objects and prepare individual Object Examination Reports and Object Treatment Proposals per National Park Service (NPS) Standards as described in the NPS Museum Handbook, Part I, Chapter 8, which is available on the web at http://www.cr.nps.gov/museum/publications/handbook.html. When completed, these reports are to be sent to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for review and approval. This work may occur on-site at McLoughlin House or at the Contractor's Laboratory per the contractors' proposal and consent of the COR. Stage 2. Following approval and revision (as needed) of the Object Treatment Proposals, the Contractor will proceed with treatment of the individual objects. Object Treatment Reports and photo-documentation before, during and after treatment will be completed. Stage 3. Once all objects have been treated, the Contractor will deliver the treated objects to the McLoughlin House. All final deliverables including photo-documentation and Object Treatment Reports will be delivered to the COR at this time. CONTRACTOR TASKS: The Contractor will provide all labor, materials, equipment, supplies, shipping, lodging, and transportation required to complete the project. Contractor shall be responsible for insuring the objects while they are in her/his custody. The Contractor will examine each object and prepare an individual Object Examination Report. These reports will include a concise statement describing the objects' material composition and physical condition, indicating any damage. The reports will identify the presence of components or conditions that may influence conservation treatment and which may aid in the evaluation of ongoing treatment. Any analysis done to identify materials shall also be included in the examination reports. The Contractor will consult with the COR to determine the best approach to preservation / conservation treatment. Using this information along with the completed Object Examination Reports, the Contractor will prepare written Proposals for Treatment for each object. Drawings or illustrations may be included to aid with the description of proposed treatment. Enough detail of methods and materials will be included in each Proposal for Treatment to support peer review by NPS specialists including curators and conservators at conservation centers and laboratories. Object Examination Reports and Proposals for Treatment shall be submitted to the COR within thirty (30) working days of the Contractor's examination of the objects. The COR will coordinate peer review of the treatment proposals by appropriate specialists. Once the proposals have been accepted in writing, the Contractor will proceed with the treatments. The Contractor shall photo-document each object before, during and after treatment. An Object Treatment Report will be written for each object treated, including in the description all the techniques and exact materials used. REPORTS / STANDARDS: Treated objects will either be treated on-site or be picked up from and returned to the COR at the McLoughlin House, 713 Center Street, Oregon City, Oregon. All Object Examination Reports, Object Treatment Proposals, and Object Treatment Reports will conform to the standards set forth in the NPS Museum Handbook and Appendices. These standards are available on the web at: http://www.cr.nps.gov/museum/publications/handbook.html All written deliverables will be provided to the COR as hard copy in addition to electronic format accessible by Microsoft Office 2000. Photo-documentation shall consist of either 35 mm original prints or minimum 300 dpi digital images printed on quality photographic paper. The Contractor will not undertake any treatments of the objects until the Reports and Proposals are peer-reviewed and a plan of work has been completed and approved. Once a plan is agreed upon, object treatments may commence. The Contractor will perform no actions without CO approval. The Contractor shall keep close contact with the COR at all times. Any deviations from the plan of work shall be presented to the CO in writing and work shall not proceed until alternatives are determined and agreed upon. In performing this work, the Contractor agrees to be guided by the overall principles and practices outlined in the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of the American Institute for Conservation.

NPS reserves the right to peer review and make available to the public any/all documentation produced, including photographs. DELIVERABLES, SUBMISSION and REVIEW SCHEDULE: The Contractor will complete a thorough examination object by object and prepare Object Examination Reports and Object Treatment Proposals, detailing precisely what treatments are recommended. Following acceptance of these deliverables, the COR will work with the Contractor and other specialists to finalize a plan of work for treatments.

The final step will be for the Contractor to deliver the treated objects to the McLoughlin House along with the object treatment reports.
