The University of Central Florida, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, announces that professional services are required in the following discipline(s): The university is interested in exploring the best and most economical method for accurately digitizing and cateloging all of the paper and mylar media (plans, specifications and O and M manuals) in the Facilities and Safety archives.
