DESCRIPTION

A Texas-based agency seeks a vendor to provide sculptural artwork installation services for a new public art initiative. The project involves collaborative support and approval to install life-size statues of children playing, designed to enhance community identity and celebrate youth and recreation. The installation will create a visually engaging, interactive public space along a high-traffic, public-facing street, ensuring maximum visibility and community impact.

The artwork will feature bronze or composite statues of children running, jumping, and interacting, reflecting the vibrant and family-friendly character of the area. The sculptures must be constructed with durable, outdoor-appropriate materials to withstand local environmental conditions. Prospective vendors are encouraged to submit questions by May 7, 2026, and may attend a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for April 29, 2026.
