Part 2: Scope of Work and Requirements
2.1 Background
Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation At Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation, we believe access to high-quality recreational experiences is essential to building a healthy, connected, and vibrant community. We manage a diverse system of regional parks, trails, golf courses, recreation centers, and open space, where people can play, foster connections, and build community.
Olympus Hills Park Olympus Hills Park is a 31-acre community park nestled in the foothills of Holladay, Utah, offering sweeping views of the Salt Lake Valley and the surrounding Wasatch Mountains. The park blends recreation with nature, creating a welcoming destination for residents and visitors alike. It features eight lighted tennis courts, two baseball/softball diamonds, a playground, picnic tables, a pavilion, and restrooms. A gently winding 0.9-mile walking trail loops through the park’s natural area, providing a peaceful space for walking, birdwatching, and connecting with the outdoors. The park’s combination of scenic beauty, recreational amenities, and active community use makes it a beloved gathering place throughout the year.
Art in Public Places Salt Lake County’s Art in Public Places is a program managed by the Salt Lake County Arts & Culture Division. Art in Public Places is overseeing the public art component of the Olympic Hills Park.
Art in Public Places manages two County owned art collections, the Visual Art Collection and the Percent for Art Collection. The Visual Art Collection is permanent and eclectic with a unifying theme of Utah. The collection includes paintings, photographs, mixed media, and sculpture, with most of the pieces on display at the Salt Lake County Government Center.
The Percent for Art Collection includes site-specific works that range from murals and sculptures to mosaics, stained glass, and larger environmental works. These installations are integrated into the design and construction of all new county facilities to both enhance the facility and engage the community. Funding for Percent for Art pieces comes from legislation which allows up to one percent of a construction budget to go toward the purchase and installation of public art. Salt Lake County adopted this legislation in May 1982.
2.2 Scope of Work
The County invites submissions from professional artists, artist teams, and arts organizations located within Utah to design and create an exterior mural that will enrich the south baseball field at Olympus Hills Park in Holladay, Utah.
The selected artist will be responsible for developing a mural design and installation that complements the park’s natural setting and enhances the experience of those who use the field. The mural location is prominently visible from the baseball diamond. This field serves two primary audiences:
• Community members who frequent the park in the mornings.
• Little League teams consisting of players 12 years old and under who use the field throughout the baseball season.
Proposals should be inspired by the themes of teamwork, play, and community pride, incorporating symbols or words of encouragement that resonate with young athletes and their families. The design should reflect the mission of Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation: “Improving Lives Through People, Parks, and Play.”
The completed mural will serve as a lasting tribute to the joy of recreation and the shared spirit of the community, providing an inspiring and memorable backdrop for athletes, families, and park visitors for generations to come.
Artists must demonstrate a proven track record of completing public art or community-based art projects, including the ability to manage all phases of design, and installation in coordination with County staff.
The selected artist, artist team, or arts organization will be responsible for the following:
1. Provide proof of insurance meeting Salt Lake County’s requirements prior to beginning work.
2. Develop and submit a detailed project timeline and coordinate all installation dates with County staff.
3. Maintain regular communication with the County team, providing progress updates throughout the project.
4. Prepare and submit detailed working drawings of the exterior mural for review and approval prior to installation.
5. Execute the artwork in accordance with the approved design, using durable, high-quality materials suitable for outdoor installation.
6. Document the installation process, including photographs of key stages and the completed mural.
7. Apply a basecoat appropriate for the mural surface to ensure longevity and proper paint adhesion.
8. Apply a protective topcoat approved by the County to safeguard against graffiti, UV exposure, and weather damage.
9. Provide and transport all materials, tools, and labor necessary for installation.
Please note that on-site storage will not be available.
10. Install the mural on site in coordination with County staff and according to the approved schedule.
11. Comply with all OSHA and County safety requirements and assume full responsibility for job site safety related to the mural installation. Relevant safety documents will be provided to finalist upon request.
12. Provide maintenance instructions and artwork documentation, including materials used and recommendations for future care.
13. Participate in promotional activities, which may include media interviews, community engagement, or social media features highlighting the project.
2.3 Site Location and Surface
Site Location: The mural will be installed at the south baseball field, specifically on the cement wall rather than the chain-link fence. The wall measures approximately 124 feet in length. Its height tapers along the length of the wall but does not exceed 5 feet at any point. See Attachment A for images.
Site Surface: The mural surface is a cement wall featuring a consistent texture and regularly spaced tie holes across its entire length. Artists should consider these surface characteristics when developing their design and installation approach. See Attachment A for more details.

• Inspire and encourage young athletes. Incorporate symbols, imagery, or words that promote teamwork, confidence, and perseverance for Little League players aged 12 and under.
• Engage the community. Create a visually appealing design that resonates with both players and park visitors, including families who frequent the park.
• Be site appropriate. The mural should complement the south baseball field environment and the natural setting of Olympus Hills Park, while fitting within the scale and dimensions of the cement wall.
• Be durable and safe. The work must withstand outdoor conditions, be resistant to graffiti and UV exposure, and be easily maintained in a public setting.
• Demonstrate artistic quality. The mural should reflect a professional standard of design, and installation.

(Business Confidentiality Claim)
I request that the attached/enclosed information (record) provided to Salt Lake County, or any of its agencies (divisions or programs), be considered confidential and given protected status as defined in Utah’s Government Records Access and Management Act (“GRAMA”).
Name and Address of business and representative making this confidentiality claim:
Description of the information (record) which is to be covered by this confidentiality claim and which you believe qualifies for protected status:
The following reasons support this claim of business confidentiality and protected status under Utah Code § 63G-2-305 (please check all of the following that apply):
(___) 1.
(___) 2.
The record provided is a trade secret as defined in Utah Code § 13-24-2 (See Utah Code §§ 63G-2-305(1) and 63G-2-309).
The record is commercial or non-individual financial information and: (a) disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the person submitting the information or would impair the ability of Salt Lake County, or its agencies, to obtain necessary information in the future; and (b) the interest of the provider in prohibiting access to the information is greater than the interest of the public in obtaining access. (See Utah Code §§ 63G-2-305(2) and 63G-2-309).
REQUIRED: A concise written statement supporting a business confidentiality claim, as required by Utah Code § 63G-2-309(1). Attach additional sheets if necessary.
NOTE: Claimant shall be notified if a record claimed to be protected is classified public or if the determination is made that the record should be disclosed because the interests favoring access outweigh the interests favoring restriction of access. Records claimed to be protected under this business confidentiality claim may not be disclosed until the period in which to bring an appeal expires or the end of the appeals process, including judicial appeal, unless the claimant, after notice, has waived the claim by not appealing within thirty (30) calendar days. See Utah Code § 63G-2-309(2). The procedure to appeal a GRAMA classification within thirty (30) calendar days is described in Utah Code §§ 63G-2-400.5 through 406 and Countywide Policy 2010, which can be found on the County’s website www.slco.org.

Compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations is a relevant factor in evaluating the integrity and responsibility of a business. The county, in its sole discretion, may not solicit proposals from, award contracts to, procure, or otherwise enter into business arrangements with any person, business, corporation or other organization that is noncompliant. If a vendor is suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, ineligible or excluded from contracting with another government entity due to environmental non-compliance, the County in its sole discretion, may deem the vendor non-responsible and decline to award a contract.

2.2 is presently indicted or charged by a government entity in a criminal, civil or administrative proceeding with the commission of any offense, violation, or failure to comply with any federal, state, or local environmental law, rule or regulation, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;
2.3 has, within the last three (3) years, been convicted, or had a civil judgment or administrative order rendered against it for any offense or violation, including but not limited to environmental noncompliance, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;
2.4 has, within the last three (3) years, had a contract/purchase terminated due to an act or omission, including but not limited to environmental non-compliance, demonstrating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor.
3. Vendor shall require any sub-vendor to disclose in writing, whether at the time of the award of the subcontract, the sub-vendor complies with the certification requirements in subparagraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 above.
4. Vendor shall immediately notify the county in writing if, at any time before the award, the vendor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has since become erroneous because of changed circumstances.
