The location of the artwork will vary and will include indoor and outdoor walls, building entrances, furniture and other structures. Some designs may be based on an existing logo or photo that needs to be enhanced or transformed to meet the specific requirements of the individual project. Projects may be for both design and fabrication or fabrication only. Any individual scope of work will be negotiated based on the needs of the specific University department utilizing the

contract, including a payment plan. University departments will be free to compare the various vendors and pricing, conduct interviews, and purchase from the vendor of their choice. As pricing and experience varies among vendors, it is suggested, but not required, that users contact at least two vendors in the appropriate lot prior to committing to a project. Instructions for Campus: Prior approval from the Office of University Relations is required before University of Wisconsin-Madison departments may use this contract. The campus client has final approval, but the expectation is that University Marketing will be consulted initially to brief the agency on existing UW-Madison design concepts and marks. Step 1 – Define the scope of the project. Step 2 – Contact the Office of University Relations, Tricia Nolan, Executive Director, University Marketing at tricia.nolan@wisc.edu(608/265-9005) for approval of the design concept and use of University marks. Here is a link to the University’s branding guidelines: https://brand.wisc.edu/ Step 3 – Contact one or more vendors on the contract based on their awarded lots. The vendor(s) should be provided a scope of the project, timeline and budget (if necessary) for them to provide a proposal with pricing for the project. Hourly prices cannot exceed the rates listed below. Vendors are encouraged to provide lower rates whenever possible. Step 4 – Prepare a requisition and attach the accepted proposal. Vendors should not begin services until a purchase order is received. Instructions for Vendors:Vendors are required to use the hourly rate per service listed when creating quotes, proposals and budgets for department projects. Prices cannot exceed the rates bid for each service (listed below). Vendors are encouraged to provide lower rates whenever possible. Invoices must also reflect the hourly rate. Under no circumstances will the University pay more than 50% prior to acceptance of services completed.
