GENERAL BACKGROUND The City of Tamarac seeks to identify firms with qualified experience providing Public Art Program Administration per the requirements shown herein. The City of Tamarac, incorporated in 1963, covers approximately twelve (12) square miles and is located in central Broward County. The municipal limits stretch east to west from just west of Powerline Road near 1-95, to the Sawgrass Expressway, and generally north to south from Southgate Boulevard to Commercial Boulevard. The 2010 population estimate was 60,427. With convenient access to Florida's Turnpike, Sawgrass Expressway, and other major thoroughfares as Commercial Boulevard and University Drive, Tamarac has evolved from a retirement community into a place thriving with diversified economic, residential, and recreational activities and opportunities. Tamarac established a Public Art Committee in 2007. The Committee is responsible for the determination of appropriate public artworks to be placed throughout the community. Funding for the public art program is derived from a 1% surcharge placed on building permit fees issued by the City per established ordinance. The Committee has already been responsible for issuing "Calls to Artists" to provide public art in designated locations throughout the City and has • developed a portfolio of artwork with more than twenty (20) pieces. Since 2007, the City has commissioned and placed numerous pieces at City facilities and Parks and most recently at the City's Colony West location. In addition, several projects have been included in the City's Capital Improvement Program for immediate implementation, with at least two (2) other pieces currently pending installation or under contract. The City has retained a Public Art Program Administrator since 2013. 2.
