The TAC may include representatives of AC Transit, BRT project staff, consultant <br />design team members, and others including an artist and other art professional. The TAC may be asked to <br />advise on specific technical issues, review the qualifications, rate the candidates, and, as requested, <br />provide support to the Artist Selection Panel when it convenes. <br />The public art consultant will manage the activities and serve as adviser to the TAC. <br />Artist Contract Procurement <br />The solicitation for artists responding to Lead Artist and the Pre-qualified Pool of Supporting <br />Artists/Artisans may occur simultaneously, however, the selection of the Lead Artist(s) or Team(s) will <br />conclude with one (1) to up to three (3) selections who will be invited to enter into a personal services <br />contract with AC Transit after assignment of one (1) or more station groupings.
