Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. Specifications include, but are not limited to: The State of Minnesota, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) intends to enter into an agreement with Marc Scamp to design, fabricate, install, test/troubleshoot, and maintain an educational-artistic piece inside the Eco Experience building to be in operation during the 2024 MN State Fair, August 22-September 2. The piece is to be a giant, interactive Monarch butterfly. Mounted from the ceiling, visitors will be able to make the wings flap by pulling a rope from below. This is deemed a single source purchase because the contractor/artist has previously designed, prototyped, tested and installed a similar display at the Mall of America. The contractor/artist owns the plans and has completed all engineering to assure reliable, safe, and secure operation during the period it will be on public display.
