Bronze Sculpture Maintenance and Conservation Services
The Battery Park City Parks Conservancy Corporation ("BPCPC") requests proposals (each
individually, a "Proposal" or collectively, the "Proposals") from sculpture conservation firms, with a
minimum of five years experience in bronze sculpture maintenance and conservation (each
individually, a "Proposer" or collectively, the "Proposers"), to provide bronze sculpture
maintenance and conservation services to BPCPC.
All maintenance and conservation methods
must meet accepted principles of conservation as identified by the American Institute for the
Conservation of Historic Objects.
In addition, the work must meet BPCPC's standards of
sustainable cleaning practices by using only non-toxic cleaning products.
Bronze sculpture
maintenance and conservation services shall include, but not be limited to: (1) An
understanding
of the variety of sculptures to be cleaned as well as the complexity and sizes of the sculptures;
(2) Maintenance and conservation of sculptures
two times per year, for three consecutive years
(once in early spring and the second in late fall) and; (3) All work and/or services must be
performed while the public is present.
