RFP Art Gallery Retrofitting and Installation

The City of Fort Worth is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-0267 for professional art gallery retrofitting and installation services to be provided on an as-needed basis. The scope of work covers various Fort Worth Public Library branches and community centers, requiring the vendor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for tasks such as site verification, removal and disposal of existing fixtures, and the installation of professional gallery lighting, hanging systems, display panels, shelving, and pedestals. All installations must be museum-quality, securely anchored, and ADA compliant. To minimize public disruption, work may be required during non-business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Proposals are evaluated based on best value, with a significant emphasis on small business participation, targeting a 30 percent goal. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the Euna Portal by September 3, 2026. Required documentation includes a statement of experience, a reference sheet with at least three recent customers, a small business utilization form, and a signed questionnaire. Pricing is captured in a specific bid table, which includes hourly rates for electricians and specific line items for after-hours work. The City reserves the right to shortlist firms, conduct interviews, and request best and final offers before awarding the contract.
