Bots on Broad Phase 2 — Tommy Bot Bench fabrication and installation bids

The opportunity

Fabricate, finish, transport and install the Tommy Bot Bench to Leonard “Porkchop” Zimmerman’s existing design, with artist oversight. This is fabrication and installation, not a new-concept solicitation. Exterior metal construction must be weather/corrosion resistant, safe for seating and securely anchored. Selection November 6 and contract November 20, 2026; source installation deadline says Sunday March 7, 2026, an unresolved year inconsistency.

Who can apply

Metal artists, sculptors with metal-fabrication experience, welders, metal and architectural fabricators, fabrication companies and artist/fabricator teams; experience with outdoor public art, public seating and large metalwork preferred. No geographic restriction is stated.

Funding & costs

No budget stated. Bidders propose a total cost broken down by materials, labor and fabrication, welding, surface preparation and finishing, paint, transport, installation and anchoring, and subcontractors; selection weighs ‘Overall project cost and value’.
