Contracts
Existing service agreements with TSLAC regarding the conservation, transport, or security of these three specific documents are effectively obsolete. Vendors must execute contract novations or new agreements with the State Preservation Board. Construction contracts for the Alamo Complex must be reviewed to ensure they meet SPB-defined "secure display" standards, which may differ from previous General Land Office or TSLAC specifications.
Hiring/Training
Security personnel assigned to the Alamo Complex or transport logistics for these items must be briefed on SPB-specific protocols. Standard museum security clearance levels may be insufficient; expect requirements for higher-level background checks or specific handling certifications for these high-value state assets.
Reporting & Record-Keeping
Logistics providers must implement a rigid chain-of-custody log that documents the transfer of liability from TSLAC to SPB. Any entity hosting these documents (under the temporary display provision) must maintain environmental monitoring logs (temperature/humidity/lux) that report directly to the SPB, not TSLAC.
Fees & Costs
While the state anticipates no fiscal impact, private sector partners should anticipate increased insurance premiums. The "Victory or Death" letter is a priceless asset; standard Commercial General Liability (CGL) policies are insufficient. Vendors must secure Fine Art/Specie riders with limits approved by the SPB.
