07RFQ0002 - RFQ for Design Build - Conservatorial Services for the Glen Rose Dinosaur Tracks at TMM

Project Summary

Note: The revision of this project from a "Professional Services RFQ" to a "Design Build RFQ" as per attached addendum #2.

Note: Proposal Dates Changed Per Addendum #1.

The Texas Natural Science Center and the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin are requesting proposals from qualified conservators for the purpose of awarding a contract to a single vendor to create a diagnostic and detailed strategic plan for the restoration and relocation of the Glen Rose Dinosaur Tracks. These tracks are located adjacent to the Texas Memorial Museum on the main campus of the university. Contemporary documentation suggests that the materials and design of the dinosaur trackhouse, combined with the physical damage caused by removing the blocks, have contributed to the deterioration. It is our intention to stop the deterioration, restore and relocate the trackway onto the lower level of the main museum for exhibition.
