The document outlines a draft pricing table for photography services to be provided to the NMMC Museum, spanning five years. It details specific tasks and their corresponding billable rates, including intake meetings, various sizes of location photography, and reproduction prints. Tasks are categorized based on the number of artworks or artifacts to be photographed, along with additional services such as digital retouching and scanning of transparencies. Notably, all pricing requires that materials and labor costs be factored into the quoted rates. The purpose of the document is to facilitate the procurement process for photographic services as part of a government RFP, ensuring clarity on cost expectations while adhering to specified guidelines. This pricing table aims to provide potential contractors a structured approach to pricing their services in response to the needs of the federal or local government entities involved. Overall, it serves as a foundational tool in managing government contracts for art and cultural preservation efforts.
