I. Introduction.

PCMC invites Respondents to submit proposals for the design and creation of unique,

artful concepts for laser-cut designs in inverted U-shaped bike racks. Respondents may

submit a proposal for a design representing one specific neighborhood or create a

cohesive set of designs covering up to all seven targeted neighborhoods. Each design

should be inspired by and reflect the unique character and surroundings of the

respective neighborhood. This initiative, developed in collaboration with the City’s

Transportation Planning team, will result in artful bike rack installations throughout the

seven neighborhoods within the community.

II. Scope of Project.

The project aims to support a car-free lifestyle by embracing sustainable transportation,

promoting healthier and more connected neighborhoods, and emphasizing a sense of

place. The selected designs will be produced by a fabricator, who will laser cut the

artwork onto the inverted U-shaped bike rack frames. In addition to encouraging active

transportation, neighborhood-specific artistic bike racks will contribute to wayfinding

for residents and visitors, thereby enhancing neighborhood identity and enriching public

spaces.

The following neighborhoods will be included in this project:

• Prospector

• Deer Valley (84060)

• Old Town

• Bonanza Area

• Thaynes Canyon

• Quinns/Park City Heights

• Park Meadows

A. Project Goals.

• To beautify public amenity infrastructure around Park City in a way that will work

in any season and makes sense for the location.

• To engage the community by soliciting art from local producers and the

community.

• To engage the community in the City Council’s critical priorities and lenses.

• To integrate the theme of the project with the scale and expansion of bike parking.

B. Project Details and Design Requirements.

• Respondents should submit proposals for rectangular designs that will be laser-cut

to fit inside an inverted U-shaped bike rack. Design dimensions are 14” H x 16” W.

Refer to Exhibit A for design requirement details and bike rack structure

dimensions. Logos and words may not be used in designs.

3

• Designs should be submitted as a vector file (preferred), .AI, .EPS, or PDF (least

preferred). Fabrication and integration of digital design will be managed by PCMC

through a selected bike rack vendor.

III. Funding.

Selected Respondent will receive a $800.00 payment for each selected artwork design.

The Respondent acknowledges that the one-time payment for a selected artwork grants

Park City Municipal the right to reproduce, display, or use the selected design multiple

times without obligation for any additional compensation.

IV. Contents of Proposal and Evaluation Criteria.

A. Required content and minimum qualifications

Proposals will be evaluated on the criteria listed below. Proposals are limited to

eight pages and must include the following:

• Respondent Information/Bio: Artist information and brief resume.

• Proposal: In 700 words or less, describe your proposal for the project. Explain how

your design relates to the theme and scope of the project as outlined in the

proposal.

• Original Art: Respondent should submit one application with the proposed

designs. Respondent may submit a proposal for a design representing one specific

neighborhood or create a cohesive set of designs covering up to the seven

targeted neighborhoods. Digital vector files, .AI, .EPS, or PDF files will be accepted.

No other digital formats will be accepted.

• Artwork Examples: Please provide at least three images of your artwork.

B. Evaluation Criteria: Each proposal will be evaluated on a 1–5 scale (5 = Exceptional,

1 = Unsatisfactory) based on the criteria listed below. Each member of the selection

committee will use these evaluation criteria to establish their individual rankings of

the respondents. The committee will then combine these rankings to determine an

overall aggregate ranking of all qualified proposals.

• Clarity of proposal and thoroughness of response (completeness of package).

• Alignment with the project’s stated themes of the natural environment, arts and

culture, community, and history—reflective of each specific neighborhood within

Park City through both proposed design and written materials.

4

• Alignment with the Park City Public Art Board’s stated Mission and Vision.

• Quality and artistic excellence of proposed design(s), including consideration of

the laser-cut form within the inverted-U bike rack structure in their design.

• Local Connection – Priority will be given to artists from Park City, followed by those

from nearby areas or with strong connections to the community. Extra points will

be awarded to Respondents who demonstrate meaningful ties to specific Park City

neighborhoods, or actively contribute to its cultural and artistic vitality.

The selection committee will consider all documents, the presentation/interview if

applicable, the response to the RFP, information gained while evaluating responses, and

any other relevant information to make its determination. The committee will select

the Respondent(s) that, in the committee's sole judgment, is best able to provide design

for artful bike racks.

PCMC reserves the right to reject any and all proposals for any reason. Proposals lacking

required information will not be considered. The award of a contract may be subject to

approval by City Council.
