Description
This French public procurement project, located in Paris, concerns the complete relocation and restoration of a historic pipe organ. The work will necessitate the careful dismantling of the organ at its current location in Rouen, its transportation to Paris, comprehensive restoration work (likely including cleaning, repair of damaged components, and potentially reconstruction of missing parts), and its reinstallation in a church in Paris. Given its classification as a historical monument, specialized expertise and meticulous adherence to conservation standards will be crucial. Contractors must possess demonstrable experience in handling delicate historical artifacts, understanding relevant preservation techniques, and coordinating logistics for transporting large, fragile objects. The successful bidder will be responsible for all aspects of the project, from initial assessment and planning to final tuning and voicing of the organ following reinstallation.
