Purchase of One Replacement Gas Ceramic Kiln for the Arts and Culture Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
This purchase will provide a kiln for the Mesa Arts Center (MAC) to replace an existing kiln that is at the end of service life for the MAC’s largest program, ceramics. It will be used to fire artwork from all ceramics and glaze classes. Also, because this kiln can fire at various temperature ranges in a fraction of the time and resources compared to other kilns, it can be fired more often, in more diverse ways, consuming less resources at a lesser expense.
The Arts and Culture Department and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the sole source vendor, Bailey Pottery Equipment Corp. and Ceramic Supply, at $26,281.03. This purchase is funded by the Mesa Arts Center Restoration Fund.
