Description

The City of Auburn seeks a professional chainsaw artist, wood sculptor, or public art professional to transform an existing standing maple trunk—approximately 3 feet in diameter and 16 feet tall—into a permanent, family-friendly public art installation. The preferred concept depicts local wildlife in playful park or lakeside activities and should be imaginative and visible from multiple angles. The selected artist will coordinate with City staff and develop the final design with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. The scope includes all labor, equipment, and materials for carving, site protection, cleanup and debris removal, protective finishes, and maintenance recommendations. The project cost must not exceed $5,000. Proposals must include artist information, a statement of interest, relevant experience, a portfolio of at least five completed projects, three references, a concept approach, a preliminary timeline, and a cost proposal. References from Maine are preferred. The selected artist must provide proof of insurance acceptable to the City before work begins.
