Development of Art in Public Places Standards & Guidelines

The City of Menifee is seeking qualified consulting firms to assist in developing an Art in Public Places Program that includes the creation of a Municipal Code ordinance, design guidelines, standards, and implementation procedures. This program aims to establish a consistent framework for integrating art into public and private developments across various city spaces such as parks, trails, civic areas, and prominent corridors, with the goal of enhancing community identity, placemaking, and the overall experience of public environments. The City prioritizes the development of clear, actionable standards that can be incorporated into existing municipal processes like development review and capital project delivery, rather than focusing on conceptual or vision-based planning. The agreement is expected to be for one year, with a possible extension of an additional year if required to complete the project. There is no bid bond requirement for this solicitation, and responses are due by July 6, 2026. The solicitation is managed by the City of Menifee’s Finance Department in California, with Jennifer Dominguez serving as the primary contact. The selected consultant will work closely with the City to ensure the program is practical and effectively embedded into city operations, supporting the enhancement of public spaces through thoughtful integration of art.
