I. Introduction.
PCMC invites Respondents to submit proposals for the design and creation of unique,
artful concepts for laser-cut designs in inverted U-shaped bike racks. Respondents may
submit a proposal for a design representing one specific neighborhood or create a
cohesive set of designs covering up to all seven targeted neighborhoods. Each design
should be inspired by and reflect the unique character and surroundings of the
respective neighborhood. This initiative, developed in collaboration with the City’s
Transportation Planning team, will result in artful bike rack installations throughout the
seven neighborhoods within the community.
II. Scope of Project.
The project aims to support a car-free lifestyle by embracing sustainable transportation,
promoting healthier and more connected neighborhoods, and emphasizing a sense of
place. The selected designs will be produced by a fabricator, who will laser cut the
artwork onto the inverted U-shaped bike rack frames. In addition to encouraging active
transportation, neighborhood-specific artistic bike racks will contribute to wayfinding
for residents and visitors, thereby enhancing neighborhood identity and enriching public
spaces.
The following neighborhoods will be included in this project:
• Prospector
• Deer Valley (84060)
• Old Town
• Bonanza Area
• Thaynes Canyon
• Quinns/Park City Heights
• Park Meadows
A. Project Goals.
• To beautify public amenity infrastructure around Park City in a way that will work
in any season and makes sense for the location.
• To engage the community by soliciting art from local producers and the
community.
• To engage the community in the City Council’s critical priorities and lenses.
• To integrate the theme of the project with the scale and expansion of bike parking.
B. Project Details and Design Requirements.
• Respondents should submit proposals for rectangular designs that will be laser-cut
to fit inside an inverted U-shaped bike rack. Design dimensions are 14” H x 16” W.
Refer to Exhibit A for design requirement details and bike rack structure
dimensions. Logos and words may not be used in designs.

• Designs should be submitted as a vector file (preferred), .AI, .EPS, or PDF (least
preferred). Fabrication and integration of digital design will be managed by PCMC
through a selected bike rack vendor.
III. Funding.
Selected Respondent will receive a $800.00 payment for each selected artwork design.
The Respondent acknowledges that the one-time payment for a selected artwork grants
Park City Municipal the right to reproduce, display, or use the selected design multiple
times without obligation for any additional compensation.

B. Evaluation Criteria: Each proposal will be evaluated on a 1–5 scale (5 = Exceptional,

the respondents. The committee will then combine these rankings to determine an
overall aggregate ranking of all qualified proposals.

from nearby areas or with strong connections to the community. Extra points will
be awarded to Respondents who demonstrate meaningful ties to specific Park City
neighborhoods, or actively contribute to its cultural and artistic vitality.
The selection committee will consider all documents, the presentation/interview if
applicable, the response to the RFP, information gained while evaluating responses, and
any other relevant information to make its determination. The committee will select
the Respondent(s) that, in the committee's sole judgment, is best able to provide design
for artful bike racks.
