The Indiana Archives and Records Administration (IARA) is soliciting bids from professional firms to provide relocation services (including packing, transportation, and reshelving) of approximately 80,000 cubic feet of archival material. The materials to be moved include some of Indiana’s most historical documents and are, in most cases, irreplaceable. The transport and transition of these records without loss or damage, and their return to the shelves at the new building in proper order, is the primary objective of and absolutely essential to the fulfillment of this contract. All collection materials need to be packed and moved from 6440 East 30th Street and transported and unpacked at the new building on Ohio Street. The two locations are approximately 8 miles apart. The move can be conducted between 7 am to 7 pm any day of the week. The goal is to maximize productivity and minimize downtime for a seamless relocation. Relocation is expected to take place in June 2026.
