Description
The City of Pittsburgh seeks an artist, artist team, or firm to develop and deliver a public art project for Lewis Park. The project must include a permanent artwork, with most of the project funds allocated to the permanent installation, and the artwork should be designed to last at least ten years. The selected artist will lead community engagement, develop the concept and design, coordinate approvals and permitting, and manage site preparation, fabrication, and installation. Applicants must demonstrate experience implementing at least one significant public artwork; the lead artist on a team must also have completed at least one such project. Subcontracting is permitted. The total project budget is $90,000 and covers project development, engagement, administration, insurance, travel, permitting, fabrication, and installation. The artist fee may account for up to 20% of the budget, with the remainder allocated to itemized expenses. Proposals must include a cover letter, artist approach and work schedule, resumes, up to 10 work samples, and three professional references. The electronic response also requires a cost proposal, EORC participation materials and good-faith-effort documentation, a completed vendor contact sheet, vendor registration form, W-9, and portal responses. Proof of general liability, workers' compensation, and automobile liability insurance is required with the signed agreement, not with the proposal.
