Similar to Jacksonville, the city of Aurora, CO exempts artists contracts from general procurement processes.  However, this is not specifically addressed in the ordinance. It is addressed in a budget letter that continues from year to year.

The City of Jacksonville exempts "artistic services and performances" from the procurement code.  We just add a cover letter to any contract.  The cover letter asks for the exemption.

Does anyone have ordinance language they could share around when Cities are compelled to accept the lowest bid from any contractor / service provider? If you were to amend that language, what would you suggest to exempt the arts and culture (artists specifically) from this type of procurement process?

What are some good language cities have used in proposing an amendment to change that, and how have you added wording for the bucket for arts & culture to be exempt from ordinances for procurement?

Thanks all!
