24-205 Request for Proposals for Public Mural Program

The City of Springfield, Massachusetts is requesting proposals to administer and execute a public mural program and/or event series for public art installations in the City. The program is being funded through the City's annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, and as such all projects and recipients will be required to be compliant with all Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) regulations. The City anticipates awarding one team/organization to administer the program, with all activities to be completed by June 30, 2025. The maximum award is $100,000, although the City reserves the right to award multiple proposers of varying amounts not to exceed $100,000 in total. The Request for Proposals (RFP) is open to all qualified teams/organizations, with proposals due by April 29, 2024. The City reserves the right to waive any informalities and to reject any or all bids if it is in the public interest to do so.

The RFP is related to the City of Springfield and Hampden County, Massachusetts. The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP also does not indicate any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total budget for the program is $100,000, and the City reserves the right to award multiple proposers varying amounts not to exceed that total.
