RFQ
- Stojanovich Family Park - Deadline: January 22, 2010
The
City of Campbell is excited to announce a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) from artists interested in creating, fabricating and
installing public artwork for the Stojanovich Family Park
Project. The Stojanovich Family Park Project is a new proposed
park in the City of Campbell within a high density residential
area. The property is currently vacant and has never been
developed, having been part of a fruit processing and drying
facility supporting the City’s orchard industry.
The City is nearing the end of developing a conceptual design
plan through a park development process that included several
public meetings. Recognizing the site’s agricultural past
is an important element to the community. There is no predetermined
location or format for the public art at the proposed park
site. We believe the artists receiving this RFQ have the
expertise to offer creative and innovative ideas to make
the most of the City’s public art fund for this project.
Budget is up to $25,000.
The full RFQ is available at: www.cityofcampbell.com/General/Projects.htmhttp://www.cityofcampbell.com/General/Projects.htm
