Program context & project planning
Missoula directs artists to its official bid listings and Notify Me service for public-art calls. Its call page describes periodic commissions associated with public buildings and grounds. This establishes a monitoring route; it does not by itself identify a currently open commission.

Which bid category and notification subscription cover the intended project?
Chapter 2.94 of the published municipal code allows open competition, invitation and direct purchase. It also connects art requirements with architectural and construction coordination. Applicants should establish the chosen procurement method and the project's maximum contract cost before preparing a detailed design.

Which selection method and design milestones apply to this project?
The code allocates a maintenance component alongside acquisition funding and assigns ongoing care to the resident agency. Selection criteria include durability, maintenance, safety and public access. These provisions make a credible care plan part of assessing a proposal's fit, not merely an installation handover document.
