Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places - Haulover Park Promenade Design

Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces and the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs through its Art in Public Places Program request qualifications from professional artists and/or artist teams to create a design for a promenade to be located around the perimeter of Haulover Beach Park.

Haulover Beach Park contains the largest remaining stretch of undeveloped beach front in Miami-Dade County, located at 10800 Collins Avenue, Miami, FL. The park features a newly renovated Bill Bird Marina with 149 wet slips, charter fishing fleet, dive boat, fuel dock, and other amenities. By the end of 2014, the marina will welcome a new Season's 52 Restaurant with outdoor patio access to the promenade. The project involves the integration of public art into approximately 1,500 linear feet of existing promenade, with potential design elements for future promenade development (approximately 18,220 linear feet) and traffic intersections and pathways. The estimated project budget is $165,000, inclusive of all costs to design, fabricate, install and implement art projects. The selected artist or artist team will need to consider the Haulover Park Design Guidelines, which are influenced by the 1930s Streamline Moderne style of Art Deco architecture. Artists must consider the permanence of artwork and how design elements function in Miami-Dade's intense sunlight, heat, humidity, winds and rains.

Eligibility is open to all professional artists residing in Miami-Dade County. Applications from architects, landscape architects or other design professionals will not be considered unless included as part of an artist-led team. Miami-Dade employees, as well as selection panelists and panelists' immediate family members, are excluded from participation. Work sample requirements: 10 images. Application deadline: October 25, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. Finalists will be paid an $800 honorarium to develop specific proposals. The project schedule includes initial PAC meeting in December 2013, project orientation visit in January 2014, finalist interviews and recommendations in February 2014, and project completion by November 2014.
