with effective strategies for working with individuals with disabilities. Additionally,
participants in the program receive invaluable support from job coaches provided by

Applicants from Futures Explored follow the standard hiring process, including submitting
job applications and undergoing interviews. Placement decisions are based on the

Agenda Item 6.1
DATE:November 9, 2023
TO:Honorable Chair and Committee Members
FROM:Jackie Dwyer, Parks & Community Services Director
SUBJECT:Camp Parks Public Art Project –Art Selection Prepared by:Shaun Chilkotowsky,Parks & Community Services Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission will consider Public Art design proposals for artworkto be located adjacent to the relocated and rehabilitated Historic Camp Parks Sign and Guard Shack and make a recommendation to the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:Consider the artwork and recommend one Public Art design proposal to the City Council for approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:This project is funded in the Fiscal Year 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (Project PA0121). The budget for this public art piece is estimated at $25,000. The project is funded by the Public Art Fund, and no General Fund dollars are being expended on this project.
DESCRIPTION: In June 2022, the City Council approved the 2022-2027 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Update, which included a project for the relocation and rehabilitation of the Historic Camp Parks Sign and Guard Shack (Sign). While the Sign has historical and artistic elements, the City desires to commission additional Public Art that will enhance the overall site and complement the newly rehabilitated and relocated Sign.This project falls within the goals and guidelines of the City’s Public Art Master Plan, including an emphasis on highly visible artwork along major thoroughfares. The Sign is being relocated to a publicly accessible space within Parks Reserve Forces Training Area directly outside the Dublin Camp Parks Military History Center, and it will be visible along Dougherty Road, one of the mainnorth-south thoroughfares in Dublin.

Page 2 of 2
To start the project, Staff utilized an existing list of qualified artists who previously responded to an RFQ for the Heritage Park Public Art Project. On April 19, 2023, Staff invited 19 artists to submit letters of interest for the Camp Parks Public Art project, with seven artists responding. On June 29, 2023, an Ad-Hoc Art Selection Committee met to review the seven artists portfolios and resumes. The Committee selected four artists who were invited to develop a site-specificdesign proposal for this project. Requirements for the site-specific design proposal are included as Attachment 1. On September 12, 2023, the Committee convened to review the four site-specific design proposals. After deliberation, the Committee selected two proposals, with feedback, for consideration. These proposals are from artists James Dinh and Jennifer Cannon and are included as attachments 2 and 3 to this Staff Report. The Commission is being asked to review the two site-specific design proposals, including feedback from the Committee, and make a recommendation to the City Council for consideration. The art location is shown in Attachment 4. It is anticipated that the installation timeline will align with the rehabilitation and relocation of theSign, which is tentatively scheduled for completion in Spring 2024.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:The Commission Agenda was posted, and a copy was provided to Parks Reserve Forces Training Area.

Camp Parks Entrance Sign & Guard Shack
Proposal Instructions
You have been one of a few artists invited to submit a site-specific design proposal for Historic Camp Parks
Sign Project. This project entails the relocation and restoration of the historic Camp Parks Sign and guard shack
from its original location at Camp Parks to a landscaped area outside the Dublin Camp Parks Military History
Center. At the sign receiver site, located at the new entrance to Camp Parks, the City and Camp Parks intend
to add an artistic component that compliments the site. This project is not intended to be a new sign at the
entrance to Camp Parks.
The historic Camp Parks Sign and Guard Shack was designed by Master Architect Bruce Alonzo Goff and built
by Navy “Seabees” in 1944. The Sign and Guard Shack is eligible for the National Registry.
Part of the project includes a concrete slab, approximately 12ft long by 48in wide, immediately adjacent to the
sidewalk leading up to the side. The artwork is intended to be placed in this location. Artworks are intended
to be installed permanently but shall be removable shall changes be made that impact the operations of Camp
Parks.
The Art Selection Committee, which chose finalists and will review and rank proposals, includes
representatives from the City, Camp Parks, and the general public. The Art Selection Committee suggested the
following be considered during artwork design:
•The art is anticipated to be installed adjacent to the relocated and rehabilitated Camp Parks Entrance Sign
and Guard Shack. The artwork will be viewed by both viewers traveling past in vehicles and pedestrians as
they enter Camp Parks.
•Parks features are highly desirable. A park feature is considered a functional piece of art or art this
integrated into the built environment which could include but is not limited to benches, artifact cubes,
culture walks, etc., and meet all applicable park design standards (ADA, safety, etc.).
•The artwork should be designed with Camp Parks and Bruce Goff’s rich history in mind. Artworks shall
contribute to the distinctive characteristic of the site, and meaningful to the community. Camp Parks has
evolved over the years, first home to the Navy, then Air Force, and most recently the Army.
•Opportunities for public interaction with the piece will also be important. The Selection Committee has
expressed a preference for pieces that invite pedestrians to approach, possibly providing a photo
opportunity or tell a story.

Artist Statement and Narrative Description
TRANSTITIONS is the title of my site-specific artwork proposed for the Camp Parks Entrance
Sign and Guard Shack for the city of Dublin and Camp Parks. The idea is to emphasize the
multiple transitions that Camp Parks and its military personnel have experienced since the base
was commissioned in January of 1943.
Bruce Goff was known for his use of reclaimed materials in unique ways when creating his
architectural designs. I wanted to acknowledge that, as well as the Seabees who were stationed at
Camp Parks by using reclaimed Marston Mats as the foundation for the proposed piece. Each
mat is fifteen inches wide, ten feet long and has eighty-seven holes. These “mats” were
extremely strong and were used during World War II for rapid construction of runways and
landing strips. I will construct two towers, one ten foot tall, the other thirteen foot in a triangle
pattern. The towers will be attached to shorter hexagon boxes also formed from the Marston
Mats and topped with a steel plate. The shorter hexagon shape not only references the Camp
Parks Sign designed by Bruce Goff but will also serve as two benches for reservists and the
public to sit on while contemplating the artwork and waiting for a taxi or rideshare service.
At the top of the towers, between, and through them, will be polished aluminum rods interlaced
with stars. This imagery is twofold. As early as 1780 stars have been used by the military to
connotate rank and service. In addition, the stars appear to traverse along the undulating rods
referencing the passage of time, the changing of the base's missions, and the experiences of the
people who have worked and served at the camp.
Public Interaction with the Artwork
Benches are incorporated into the design itself to create a space for the public to sit. This will
give them the opportunity to regard the refurbished, historic Camp Parks sign.
In addition, there will be enough space between each tower to allow people to walk through the
center and around the towers. The space will also be wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs.
The towers and stars will be high and large enough that they will be clearly visible from the
roadway. The tower nearest to the Camp Parks sign will be higher than the other, leading the
observer’s view to the even taller Camp Parks sign.
Proposed Dimensions
•The overall dimensions of the piece will be: 13’H x 16.5’W x 3.5’D.
Proposed Materials
•The towers will be constructed of reclaimed World War II Marston Mats that have been
sand blasted, welded together and painted.
•The rods and stars will be polished aluminum.
•The towers will be painted maroon, cream, and blue with an exterior enamel paint. This
will preserve the metal and be easy to repair in the event that the sculpture is damaged
through vandalism.

Proposed Fabricator
The artist will fabricate most of the artwork but will contract a certified welder for welding of the
Marston Mat Towers.
Installation Procedure
• The sculpture will arrive in sections to be bolted together and bolted into the concrete
pad.
• Anchor bolts will be installed in the concrete foundation/pad in accordance with standard
procedures.
Recommended Annual Maintenance
• No major annual maintenance will be necessary.
• The piece will be able to be cleaned with water.
• Paint touch up as necessary but should be minimal.

INSPIRATION
The historic Camp Parks Sign was based in part on a
hexagon geometry. This is the shape of honeycombs.
Bees are viewed as organized, hard-working, and
collaborators—just like the men and women who
serve in the military. It takes an “army” of bees to build
honeycombs.
Honeycomb shapes are one of the strongest yet light
structures. For these reasons, the shape is used in
automoti ve and aerospace parts.
The proposed artwork is inspired by the honeycomb
moti f, with its symbolism, and by photos of guards
standing like columns at the guard shack.
The artwork is intended to complement the historic
sign yet be a disti ncti ve, interacti ve element.

DESIGN NARRATIVE - OPTION 1
The proposed artwork is composed of 2 free-standing
hexagonal columns.
Each column is made of an internal steel structure.
Powder-coated aluminum panels will be att ached to
each side of the columns.
The panels have a honeycomb patt ern of colors,
taken from the logo colors of the Army, Air Force, and
Marines—black, blue, gold and red.
Overlaid on some of the “cells” are historic photos of
Camp Parks. The arti st will work with the Camp Parks
Military History Center to select the photos.
The honeycomb patt ern visually connects the artwork
to the historic sign, while creati ng visual interest from
all sides.
Visible to passersby, the artwork will create photo
opportuniti es for visitors to the Camp Parks.
