Comprehensive Museum Planning and Exhibition Concept Services for the City of Roswell

The City of Roswell seeks proposals from qualified US-based museum planning consultants or interdisciplinary teams for comprehensive museum planning and exhibition concept services. The selected vendor must establish strategic, operational, interpretive, exhibition, visitor experience, and collections requirements for a future museum. Additionally, the contractor will support site evaluations, produce a visually supported narrative for fundraising and stakeholder engagement, and coordinate with a city-selected architect to inform architectural programming. Work must be performed onsite in Roswell, New Mexico. Applicants must submit a narrative demonstrating project understanding, key personnel qualifications, a company history, a work plan, and at least three references for similar projects completed within the last ten years. Submissions must also include two to three representative work samples and a separate lump-sum fee proposal broken down by task, which includes all labor, travel, and administrative expenses. Proposals are due electronically through OpenGov by November 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM. An evaluation committee will score responsive technical proposals alongside separately submitted fee proposals based on reasonableness, completeness, and overall value.
