Capital improvement project planning.
Ann Arbor City Code § 1:833
in effect1:833. - Capital improvement project planning.
(1) The City Administrator shall work with the Public Art Commission to develop written criteria by which city staff shall evaluate whether a capital improvement project should be designated as an enhanced project. Upon completion and/or subsequent modification, these written criteria shall be transmitted to City Council.
(2) The Public Art Commission shall work with city staff to evaluate proposed capital projects from the initial planning stage and make an annual recommendation to City Council as to which projects from the current Capital Improvements Plan are appropriate for designation as enhanced projects. After receiving the recommendation, City Council shall approve the list of designated enhanced projects, with or without modification. City Council may modify the list at any time.
(3) When a capital improvement project is designated as an enhanced project, city staff shall identify the capital improvement project as an enhanced project in the budget and shall, to the extent possible, identify that portion of the project budget attributable to public art.
(4) When city staff determines that an enhanced project should include public art as part of the design of the project (such as architectural enhancements or material aesthetic design elements), such public art shall, as appropriate, be solicited at the design stage and included in any relevant RFQs, RFPs, or contracts for design of the enhanced project. To the extent possible, the completed design of the enhanced project showing the public art elements shall be transmitted to City Council prior to City Council's consideration of any contract to construct or produce the enhanced project or public art elements.
(5) The City Administrator shall work with the Public Art Commission to implement this section, establish appropriate design requirements for each enhanced project, and evaluate and recommend final designs and contractors for such projects.
