transport for Mona Hatoum dispersal, Linda Benglis inbound and dispersal and storage costs.

Notice Description

transport for Mona Hatoum dispersal, Linda Benglis inbound and dispersal and storage costs.I reached out to the following Fine Art Transport companies who are on our Transport Framework: Mtec; Momart; Crown Fine Art Ltd, Kuehne + Nagel and Constantine. Constantine and Kuehne + Nagel declined to submit due to limited capacity. We received estimates from the other agents. The total cost from each agent can be found below: Momart: PS89,867 Crown PS53,331 (The total contract cost has been revised to PS45,000 because we have received updated costs from Crown based on changes to our lender requirements) Mtec: PS61,962 We appointed Crown Fine Art Ltd. A major factor in our decision making was overall cost and the chosen agent's proposal came in significantly lower than the other estimates we received.
