Abu Dhabi Invites Tenders for Guggenheim Museum Construction
ABU DHABI — The Gulf emirate of Abu Dhabi has invited tenders for the construction of its own branch of the renowned Guggenheim museum -- part of its drive to become a cultural tourism destination.
The Tourism Development and Investment Company, a government body, called on interested contractors who meet its criteria to request a pre-qualification document, in announcements published in local dailies on Tuesday.
To bid for the contract, whose value was not revealed, the contractor must have completed five projects over the past three years in the United Arab Emirates, each worth more than 200 million dirhams (54.3 million dollars).
The contract covers concrete works, including excavation, filling, waterproofing and construction of up to 120,000 cubic metres (4.2 million cubic feet) of reinforced concrete slabs, retaining walls, columns and beams.
The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Museum, expected to be completed by 2013, is part of a cultural district on the Saadiyat island that is also to include a branch of the Paris-based Louvre.
The design is by US architect Frank Gehry who designed the Guggenheim museum in the Spanish city of Bilbao.
Abu Dhabi's version aims to be larger than the existing Guggenheims in New York, Berlin, Bilbao, Las Vegas and the Italian city of Venice.
The museum will acquire its own major collection of contemporary art and will also exhibit masterpieces from the Guggenheim Foundation's global collections.
Oil-rich Abu Dhabi is engaged in an ambitious development plan, "Abu Dhabi 2030," aimed at modernising the emirate and diversifying its economy.
Despite the global financial crisis and its severe impact on neighboring Dubai, construction has been going ahead in Abu Dhabi although at a pace slower than planned.
