Default Question re Transplanting Tulips

Hello, last summer I had a new sidewalk and porch built in front of my
house along with a new flower bed. In the fall I planted bulbs of
hyacinth, daffodils and tulips. They are blooming nicely, except for
the daffodils (which is the subject for another post). In my bcak yard,
there is a mound of earth which the contractor dug up from the front.
From this mound, there are about a half dozen beautiful yellow tulips

which must have been from the old flower bed. I'd like to move these
tulips to the front of the house to "join" the others.

My question is: can I safely transplant the tulips now while they are
blooming? Or, is it better to wait until they're done, remove the bulbs
and re-plant in the fall? What's the best way to store the bulbs until
planting time?

Many thanks.
