Submission Instructions
Description
The Champaign County Forest Preserve District seeks a contractor to design and build exhibits for the new Homer Lake Nature Center. The scope includes a low-tech, dynamic gallery exhibit designed around developed interpretive content, a donor wall, and two outdoor interactive interpretive installations. Design must account for accessibility and live-animal enclosures; the live-animal components themselves are outside the scope. The contractor will create and install museum-quality panels and complete fabrication and installation of the indoor exhibits, while District staff will install the outdoor components. The selected contractor will collaborate with District staff on content, design refinement, fabrication, and installation. The proposal must include qualifications, relevant project experience, personnel and subcontractor information, references, cost estimates, a project timeline, and design concepts. The stated proposed budget is $150,000. The selected contractor must furnish a contract bond equal to 100% of the contract amount; insurance and other contract requirements apply after selection.
