The University of Hurd Mural Removal - Request for Proposal Overview The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center ("M.D. Anderson") is seeking proposals from interested respondents to purchase "AS IS" and remove at no cost to the Owner the fresco painted by Peter Hurd and entitled "The Future Belongs To Those Who Prepare For It" and which is located within the ground floor lobby of the Houston Main Building ("HMB"). This removal process is targeted to commence in June 2010 and must be completed by December 20, 2010. The fresco is painted on a curved masonry block wall bound together by lathe and plaster to which the painting is applied. The mural is approximately 47 feet wide by 15 feet tall and is depicted by the photos accompanying this Request for Proposals. Earlier investigations by competent contractors indicate that it may be possible to remove the fresco as one piece. However, M. D. Anderson does not intend to adhere to a one piece removal process and encourages respondents to be as creative as necessary to accomplish the objective of removing the art piece in a fashion suitable to its re-assembly and restoration at its proposed new location. The proposed final site location is to be disclosed as part of the response to the Request for Proposals. The fresco structure has been tested for asbestos. Although no asbestos was located within the fresco, Owner makes no warranty or guarantee related to asbestos within the fresco structure. Various other adjacent materials have also been tested and found to contain asbestos. In collaboration with the successful respondent’s Removal Plan, Owner will abate at its cost the adjacent materials on an "as required" basis to facilitate removal of the fresco through the HMB entrance door to the successful respondent’s transportation vehicle. All other costs associated with the removal of the fresco will be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the successful respondent. The successful respondent must demonstrate actual documented and verifiable proof of financial resources and responsibility committed to this specific project. The successful respondent must also submit a written plan to be approved by M. D. Anderson for the successful execution of planning, rigging, and removal of the fresco through the front building entrance off Holcombe Blvd. A proposed schedule is an integral part of the submitted plan. The submitted written plan is to list a history and resume documenting the respondent’s professional skill and expertise, knowledge and experience in preparing, rigging and removal of similar delicate and/or challenging cargo. There will be a prebid meeting in which interested respondents will be provided an opportunity to tour the site and to take additional photographs if deemed necessary. Owner will also consider, solely at its discretion, additional opportunities for interested respondents to view the site for preparation of their proposals. The following Sections identified below form a part of this Request for Proposal (RFP). They are provided here for your reference only.
