R -- EXHIBIT DESIGNER SOL RFQ98C-1 DUE 101697 POC Ruth R. Nelson, Contracting Officer, (202) 707-8610 WEB: The Library of Congress, http://www.loc.gov. E-MAIL: The Library of Congress, mday@loc.gov. The Library of Congress is seeking requests for quotations for design assistance in the planning design, fabrication and installation phases for an exhibition entitled, "African-American Odyssey: The Quest for Full Citizenship", in the Northwest Curtain and Pavilion of the Thomas Jefferson Building. This space consists of two adjoining areas totaling approximately 6,000 square feet in size. It is highly decorated with mosaic tile floors, decorative painting, and murals. This exhibition consists of approximately 200 items and has two small related displays at other locations within the Library. The exhibition will be the first time that the Library's vast collection of African-American history and culture is presented in a major installation. Time is of the essence as the exhibition opens on February 5, 1998, and closes on May 2, 1998. This exhibition will include a wide variety of materials: rare books, photographs, prints, paintings, drawings, manuscripts, maps, charts, and plans. This exhibition mustbe designed using existing sets of cases and walls, designing supplementary elements only when or if necessary. To complete this work, the designer is required to work closely with Library staff, be able to meet at the Library on short notice, and abide by a very tight time frame. Interested parties may submit requests, in writing, and reference RFQ98C-1. Facsimile # (202) 707-8611 (0280)
