Sacramento County Department of Airports Request for Qualifications and Experience (RFQ&E)

The County of Sacramento Department of Airports is soliciting Statements of Qualifications And Experience (SOQ&Es) from qualified artists to design, fabricate, and install permanent artworks at two sites located at the Sacramento International Airport as part of the Department’s large-scale capital improvement program known as “SMForward.” The Department invites all qualified artists residing in the United States interested in providing these services to submit a SOQ&E in compliance with the requirements of this Request for Qualifications and Experience (RFQ&E).
Project Overview
The Department announced on February 1, 2023, a $1.3 billion expansion program collectively known as “SMForward” that will reshape the Airport to accommodate projected passenger growth over the next seven years.
SMForward, which includes six major construction projects, represents a historic opportunity to integrate art into the traveler’s experience while reinforcing and contributing to the Sacramento region’s identity. When completed, SMForward will include permanent artworks inside and outside the new buildings, on the facade of the new parking garage facility, within the new pedestrian walkway, at the new Terminal B gates, and at sites in and around the new Ground Transportation Center. These new works will add to the more than two dozen artworks already gracing the Airport’s public spaces. This RFQ&E is a call for the first four artwork opportunities under SMForward’s New Terminal B Parking Garage and New Pedestrian Walkway projects.
