⁠⁠⁠Overview

Katherine Town Council is seeking to engage a suitably qualified supplier to install a mural on the Katherine Visitor Information Centre as part of the Council's Centenary celebrations. The works comprise the preparation, installation, and completion of a mural artwork on the nominated external building wall.

Scope

The scope includes:

• Inspection of the existing wall surface to confirm it is structurally sound, clean, dry, and suitable for mural installation
• Protection of adjacent walls, windows, doors, paving, landscaping, and other surfaces from damage, dust, paint, adhesives, and overspray
• Preparation of the wall surface by removing loose or flaking paint, dirt, dust, grease, and other contaminants, prepared to industry standards for the mural artwork
• Repair of minor cracks, holes, and surface imperfections as required
• Application of an appropriate exterior-grade primer/sealer and, where required, a suitable base coat to provide a consistent surface for the mural
• Working with Katherine Town Council to design a mural aesthetically in line with the colours of the current building, Centenary branding, and the Centenary Working Action Group concept recommendations, as set out in the attached design proof
• Providing recommendations on seeking appropriate permissions for the artwork
• Confirming mural dimensions, artwork layout, colours, positioning, and installation methodology prior to commencement
• Project managing workplace health and safety during the installation, contractor use of equipment hire or scaffolding, and traffic safety during the installation
• Transferring the approved artwork to the prepared wall using the nominated method, such as projection, grid layout, stencilling, hand painting, or application of digitally printed mural panels
• Installing or painting the mural progressively, ensuring accurate alignment, consistent colour, clean edges, and an appropriate finish
• Applying a compatible UV-resistant and weather-resistant protective coating where specified to improve durability and protect the artwork from moisture, sunlight, dirt, and general weathering
• Completing final touch-ups and rectifying minor defects to achieve a uniform finished appearance
• Removing temporary protection, cleaning the work area, and disposing of installation waste appropriately
• Conducting a final inspection with the client to confirm the mural has been installed in accordance with the approved artwork and agreed scope
