Helene Fried Associates in cooperation with Community Design + Architecture Final Artistic Enhancement Strategy [July 2013 Update] ± Integrating Artistic Enhancements with BRT Station Design July 11, 2013 Page 13 of 19 Artist Participation Opportunity ± Pre-qualified Pool of Supporting Artists/Artisans Artists or artisans will respond to the Pre-qualified Pool of Supporting Artists/Artisans RFQ for possible inclusion to a pre-qualified pool from which the lead artist(s) or team(s) will select additional team members. Only artists and artisans in the pre-qualified pool may be invited to join a team. The Pre-qualified Pool of Supporting Artists/Artisans RFQ is also a national call and not limited to local or regional professionals; the aim of this, however, is to encourage the likelihood of participation by DUWLVWVRUDUWLVDQVSRVVHVVLQJUHODWLYHO\OLWWOHSULRUH[SHULHQFHZLWK³DUWLQWUDQVLW´Between one (1) and two (2) artists or artisans may be chosen to support the efforts of each lead artist. The artists or artisan(s) who pre-qualify may choose to self-fabricate or may be asked to create a design (intellectual property only) that is fabricated otherwise. In no case is the artist or artisan who responds to the Pre-qualified Pool of Supporting Artists/Artisans to be primarily considered as an independent fabricator whose role is solely to create the artistic enhancement of the lead artist. Request for Qualifications (RFQ) The public art consultant in cooperation with the design team will draft the two Request for Qualifications for review and issue by AC Transit and review by the Oakland Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) and the City of San Leandro.

Artist Resources A free technical workshop on how to use ³C a f é´will be offered by the public art consultant and is to be scheduled soon after the RFQs are issued. Other free forums or other resources may be offered by the public art consultant in partnership with local nonprofit arts or community groups intended to familiarize artists with opportunities for involvement.
