Request for Proposals for Art Consultant Services for the Reconnecting Communities Project

The City of Fresno seeks a qualified Art Consultant to develop original, site‑specific public‑art concepts for the “Reconnecting Communities” pedestrian bridge over State Route 99, including design of artwork for bridge decks and landing pads, community outreach, and coordination with engineering and design teams. The consultant will produce conceptual drawings, artist statements, material/fabrication narratives, and iterative revisions based on stakeholder feedback. The contract is for one year with an optional one‑year extension, funded partially by FHWA grants. • Scope includes concept development, community engagement participation, and technical coordination with engineers. • Deliverables: design renderings, narrative documents, and revised concepts after feedback cycles. • No disclosed contract value; proposals evaluated on technical/artistic quality, qualifications, cost, and references.
