North County Aquatic Center

The Palm Beach County's Art in Public Places program (PBC AiPP) is seeking to commission an Artist or Artist team to design, permit, fabricate, and install art to support the North County Aquatic Center. The art should be inspired by lively recreational and competitive aquatic activities that promote enhanced physical and mental wellbeing, and community connection. The selected Artist will be responsible for designing, fabricating, permitting, and installing art on prominent entrance columns and/or walls to create an engaging and welcoming atmosphere while Center guests interact with friends and family. Key points to consider: • The art must be made of tiles (e.g. ceramic, porcelain, terracotta, stone, glass) to be surface mounted with flat even surfaces that do not protrude from the wall and do not require structural reinforcement to walls. • The columns are solid poured concrete with a smooth stucco painted finish, and the walls are concrete masonry block (CMU) with a smooth stucco painted finish. • The art installation shall be in accordance with the current edition of the Florida Building Code, including any local amendments, and the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) current edition of the TCNA Handbook. • The budget for the project is $50,700, inclusive of all expenses. • The selected Artist will be required to execute the County's standard contract for Artist's services.
