Art Design Goals

• Art will create a welcoming, vibrant environment for staff, customers and visitors including residents, business representatives and industry stakeholders seeking permit or flood plain approval for diverse structural elements built in unincorporated PBC such as various residential and accessory structures, commercial and industrial buildings, agricultural structures, and others.
• Art will be inspired by building code innovations that are responsive to climate change, incorporating resilience in architecture principles to ensure safe buildings are designed to withstand natural disasters, such as hurricanes and floods.
• Art will complement the facility’s architectural style and scale.
• Art materials must be durable and require minimal maintenance. Outdoor art materials must also withstand the intense local environment (sun, high winds, salty moist air, and rain).

Budget
The Artist who is awarded the contract will receive a maximum fixed fee of $331,395 inclusive of all expenses including Artist fee, design, engineering, permit, materials, fabrication, contractor, shipping, installation, construction oversight, travel, hotel, transportation, mileage, insurance, etc. All Artists who are selected to present their concept proposals to the Finalist Selection Panel (Shortlist Artists) will receive a flat fee (honoraria) of $1,000 inclusive of all expenses.

Areas for Art Integration
The selected Artist will be responsible for creating a comprehensive design for the planned improvements, which will include design, fabrication, permitting, and installation of art in two key areas.

Each art seating must accommodate a minimum of two (2) adults and be installed in a minimum of two (2) of the four (4) designated seating zones, in priority order shown in red on the Area 1 graphic below. Priority seating area 1 is near an entrance to a public meeting room. Priority seating areas 2 and 3 flank the building’s main entrance. All art seating must be designed per Florida Building Code Accessibility Code.
• Area 2 is located in the indoor lobby, integrated onto three (3) stairwell walls and three (3) soffit walls. Stairwell walls will be constructed of concrete masonry unit (CMU) and gypsum.
