4.) Positioning of all objects in pre-designated positions within the galleries.
5.) Unpacking and Install Phase-1: 10 objects (predominantly historic vehicles and artillery pieces) unpacked and positioned prior to full completion of base build and construction of display cases (rest of objects to remain packed in designated positions within galleries until later date).
6.) Unpacking and Install Phase-2: Remaining 22 objects (sculpture and oil paintings) unpacked and positioned following completion of base build and construction of display cases.
It is anticipated that the installation will take place in July-October 2016 however, following appointment, the company will be required to liaise with NAM as well as other contractors from late 2015 onwards to ensure the installation is sequenced with other on-site building work and fit out activities.
