This notice is not a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP).ï¿½This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source award to McKay Lodge Conservation Laboratory Inc in accordance with Federal Acquisitionï¿½Regulation 6.302-1, ï¿½Only One Responsible Source and No Otherï¿½Suppliesor Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.ï¿½ PROJECT SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), National Capitalï¿½Region (NCR), Office of Planning & Design Quality (OPDQ), 1800 F Street NW, Washington, DCï¿½is pursuing conservation treatment of the neon installation, Cenozoic Codex, created by the artistï¿½Keith Sonnier. This work was commissioned through the GSA Art in Architecture program in 1997ï¿½and is installed along the buildingï¿½s entrance and mirroring interior corridor within the interior ofï¿½the U.S. Census Bureau Data Processing Center (MD0325ZZ) at 17101 Melford Boulevard,ï¿½Bowie, MD 20715. This neon installation is part of the GSA Fine Art Collection and is covered in settled dust andï¿½debris. Paint losses, peeling, and lifting are evident in several areas along the electrical conduit.ï¿½The neon tubes show signs of age-related failure, and the transformers are well past theirï¿½expected lifespan. Black splatters seen at the base of the sculpture have resulted from the transformers leaking tar, a clear sign that they are overheating and have reached the end of theirï¿½service life. The art requires conservation treatment to clean, repair, and replace component partsï¿½of the artwork to keep it in working condition. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SCOPE OF WORK:ï¿½ï¿½This Intent to Soleï¿½Source Notice is being issued by the General Services Administrationï¿½(GSA), National Capital Region, to execute treatment of the neonï¿½installation at theï¿½ U.S. Census Bureau Data Processing Center (MD0325ZZ) at 17101 Melford Boulevard,ï¿½Bowie, MD toï¿½include cleaning and replacement of transformers and neon tubes, asï¿½applicable.

Provide short-term andï¿½long-term maintenanceï¿½recommendations for the neon installation.ï¿½The Conservator will perform on site conservation treatment of the neon installation andï¿½associated components, including transformers, wiring, and steel structure, in keepingï¿½with the recommendations from the 2020 Assessment Report.ï¿½Transformer replacement,ï¿½Neon tube replacement,ï¿½Surface cleaning of all artwork components,ï¿½Prepare a Written Documented Report.
