  • 1.

    For construction or public works financed by the City of Orlando, the following procedure shall be complied with:

    a.

    Early in the design of a project, the Architect or other design professional retained for that project shall work with the Public Art Advisory Board to develop a site plan for adding art works, architectural enhancements or special landscape treatments to the project.

    b.

    The Public Art Advisory Board shall recommend to the Orlando City Council those works of art, architectural enhancements, or special landscape treatments it deems are appropriate to the project in accordance with the Public Art Master Plan. In no case shall the Public Art Advisory Board take such time to render its findings as to delay or hinder the design or construction of the project.

    c.

    The City Council shall, in its discretion, accept or reject the recommendations of the Public Art Advisory Board. If such recommendations are rejected, the City Council may request the Public Arts Advisory Board to submit alternative recommendations. When recommendations are accepted, the City Council may designate the manner by which artists, sculptors, designers, craftsmen or contractors are retained for each project, but in no case shall the City Council be required to comply with the bidding requirements of the Purchasing Code unless the City Council determines it appropriate under the circumstances.

    2.

    When funds have accrued from construction and public works projects which do not lend themselves to the visual arts or for which there is no major public benefit, the Public Art Advisory Board shall, in accordance with the Public Art Master Plan, select works of art, architectural enhancements, or special landscape treatments for other sites and recommend them to City Council for approval.
