Current cultural contractors in Core and Cultural Heritage Festivals who received less than $10K in relief funding (through at least four sources -- Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, ARPA-funded Arts and Culture Nonprofit Relief, Creative Space Assistance Program, and CARES Act-funded Nonprofit Relief for arts orgs), will receive 100% of their FY21 contract amount.

Find more info about the program here: http://austintexas.gov/department/public-private-partnerships-p3-program-office 1 P3 project delivery path for AIPP • Key considerations with P3 process • If the City does not own the land, the facility will not be confirmed for purchase until it is mostly delivered. • The City can’t have an AIPP artwork in a privately owned building Issue = unmet needs • City-owned buildings are not meeting Solution = needs met @ significant cost savings • Planning ahead – uses RFP to solicit needs. competitive bids • Previous process was purchasing existing buildings as need arises. • Shifts financial risk to selected Developer • Fixed Price and Delivery Date. I’d like to start by explaining what “Public-Private Partnerships” or the “P3 delivery process” means in the City of Austin. When a City need arises, say for staff office space for example, the City typically purchases existing office buildings. The City does not have experience constructing office buildings. Many of city-owned or city-leased office buildings are reaching the end of their usefulness or do not meet the functions for which they were intended. To meet current and future needs, and to reduce the reliance on leased space, the City has developed a public-private partnership approach, which is managed by the P3 Program Office in the City’s Financial Services Department: The P3 approach uses a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to solicit competitive bids from Developer teams, allowing the City to shift the financial risk to the selected Developer using a fixed price and delivery date. Should costs exceed the agreed upon price or delivery date, the Developer is held responsible. At the completion of the project, the City purchases the building. Typical savings is about 30% over the cost of constructing a building. This process significantly reduces the cost and delivery timeline for public projects while also meeting City policy objectives. …
