Request for Proposals (RFP) #01317-96207-P01 Art Consultant for Stage 2 LRT Art Program
Requirement:
The City of Ottawa is seeking proposal submissions to provide professional Art Consultant Services for the Stage 2 Light Rail Transit (LRT) Art Program.
The Stage 2 Art Program will commence in late 2017 and be completed in 2023. The Stage 2 LRT project will add more than 40 kilometres and 23 new stations to the City’s O-Train network.
The approach for public art in Stage 2 will allow for selected artist teams to apply their designs over multiple stations, entire design elements, and opportunities. The City of Ottawa Public Art Program will work with an Art Consultant to manage the process and implementation of the Stage 2 Art Program. Two art plans have been developed for the Stage 2 project: one for the Confederation Line, including a separate approach for the Richmond Road Complete Street initiative and the Byron Linear Park restoration, and a second plan for the Trillium Line.
The Art Consultant will work directly with the City to coordinate and implement the art commission projects outlined in the two art plans. These plans will ultimately serve as the foundation for the creation of public art that enhances the transit user experience, is reflective of the communities serviced, and elevates the City of Ottawa Art Collection to an international level of design excellence.
Proposed Period of Contract(s):
The proposed period of contract will be for six (6) years from December 2017 to 31 December 2023.
