Park City Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is soliciting proposals from qualified artists to design and produce commemorative artwork for the 2025 Cindy Matsumoto Historic Preservation Award winner located at 517 Park Avenue. This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks a single art piece to be publicly displayed at Park City Hall, located at 445 Marsac Avenue in Park City, Utah. The artwork must artistically depict and reflect the historic preservation award recipient property, demonstrating a creative interpretation of the site's historical significance. The procurement falls under commodity code 82150 for professional artist services, with all media, materials, and artistic themes eligible for consideration. The RFP was posted on February 28, 2025, with proposals due by March 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM MDT, providing potential artists approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their submissions. Respondents are expected to create an original artwork that captures the essence of the historic preservation project, with the piece serving as a commemorative representation of architectural and cultural preservation.

The contract opportunity does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, indicating an open competition for professional artists. The project budget is capped at $1,800.00 for the single commissioned art piece, which represents a modest but focused investment in commemorating local historic preservation efforts. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements are mentioned in the documentation. The RFP does not outline explicit evaluation criteria beyond the implied expectations of artistic quality, historical representation, and alignment with the commemorative purpose. Interested artists will need to demonstrate their ability to interpret the historic site's significance through their proposed artwork, with the final selection likely based on creative interpretation, technical skill, and thematic relevance to the historic preservation award recipient.
