Award Information

This Award Information document pertains to the City of Duluth, Georgia's Public Arts Commission and their Call to Artists Request for Proposal for the Rogers Bridge public art project. The project solicited sealed proposals from artists to develop a unique public art piece using salvage materials from the historic Rogers Bridge, which was recently removed from the Chattahoochee River. The proposal deadline was Friday, January 14, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. EST, with submissions directed to the Office of the City Clerk at 3167 Main Street, Duluth, GA 30096. A public proposal opening was scheduled for 2:01 p.m. EST on the same date at City Hall's Executive Conference Room, where submitting artist names would be read aloud. An optional preproposal and site visit meeting was held on November 17, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. EST. The award was ultimately made to artist Phil Proctor.

The Request for Proposal document was available for download at no cost from the Georgia Procurement Registry and the City of Duluth's website. No additional pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract duration information was provided in the available documentation. The project represents a repurposing initiative focused on transforming salvaged historic materials into contemporary public art for the City of Duluth.
