This is intended to maximize the <br />impact of the selected lead artist(s) or team(s) while simplifying the process for the integration of artistic <br />enhancement and accommodating the fast track schedule. <br />The proposed model attempts WRVWULNHDEDODQFHEHWZHHQWKHFRPPXQLW\¶VGHVLUHIRUDUWLVWLF <br />enhancements that reflect the neighborhoods and districts along the corridor, corridor-wide BRT <br />branding, and jurisdictional issues such as Council districts boundaries, the desire to distinguish between <br />Oakland and San Leandro, and recognize Caltrans controlled areas. (See Figure 7). Up to three station <br />groupings are proposed, being: <br />1. City of Oakland 1: Downtown, Chinatown and East Lake (all stations are curbside station pairs) <br />2. City of Oakland 2: all remaining districts/neighborhoods (all stations are median stations) <br />3. City of San Leandro (one median and six curbside station pairs; one platform at San Leandro <br />BART) <br />The final number of lead artists or teams will be determined after responses to AC TransLW¶VUHTXHVWIRU <br />qualifications for lead artists are reviewed by the Artist Selection Panel and Technical Assistance <br />Committee. As a result of the final selected lead artists, between one and three lead artists or teams would <br />be charged with providing artistic enhancements for a station grouping, some combination of station <br />groupings, or all of the stations. <br />Artist Solicitation and Process <br />The Artists Solicitation will be a national call and conducted in an open, fair and equitable manner and in <br />compliance with federal guidelines. The solicitation process will be transparent, and deadlines will be <br />strictly adhered to, i.e.: any and all responses to a request for qualifications (RFQ) received after the <br />published deadline will not be accepted. A set of deadlines and other pertinent dates will be published in <br />advance. All applicants will be asked to provide examples of or an approach to their previous experience <br />interfacing with communities where they have worked. <br />The artist solicitation process proposes two distinct levels of artist participation; first, opportunities that <br />serve to attract professional artists experienced in public art, and second, opportunities for professional <br />artists and artisans who may be new to public art or not have had the opportunity to participate in projects <br />such as this. These distinct levels of participation and experience are reflected in the two different RFQs <br />to be released. <br />
