TO: Dan Lewis, President, City Council
FROM: Timothy M. Keller, Mayor
SUBJECT: title
Route 66 Augmented Reality Experience Contract with Refract AR LLC
body
The Department of Arts & Culture seeks approval to contract with Refract AR LLC., an augmented reality firm based in Santa Fe, NM, to implement a completed design for an eight-stop Route 66 augmented reality experience in Albuquerque. While the design phase for the project was completed in the fall of 2024, a contract to implement the experience is now needed to build, install, fix, and launch the experience for users in 2025. Given the eight stops and the art creation, technological interfaces, prototyping, and testing for each stop, an implementation contract in the amount of $120,000 is required to build the experience and test for best user experience.
In accordance with City Ordinance 5-5-19(A)(3)(a): Approval of Contracts by City Council Contracts for professional/technical services, in an amount exceeding $100,000, including, but not limited to, legal services contracts and contracts entered into by the City Council to facilitate its legislative function.
