HomeMy WebLinkAbout8.1 - 2195 Public Safety Complex Art Selection Page 1 of 5 STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL DATE: October 2, 2018 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Public Safety Complex Art Selection Prepared by: Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts and Heritage Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council is being asked to approve selection of an artist and design for a public art piece to be placed in the future Public Safety Complex, and indicate its preference for the artwork location. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the design proposed by Gordon Huether for a public art piece to be placed in the future Public Safety Complex, and indicate desired artwork location. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The budget for this public art piece is $300,000. The Public Art Fund is the funding source. No General Fund dollars are being expended on this project. DESCRIPTION: On June 7, 2016, the City Council approved a Capital Improvement Project for a public artwork to be located at the new Public Safety Complex at the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Clark Avenue. A budget of $300,000, equivalent to two percent of the projected construction cost, was approved at that time and the Public Art Fund was identified as the funding source. On June 26, 2017, Staff issued a public Request for Qua lifications from public artists interested in being considered as candidates to design and fabricate monumental sculptures for the Veterans and Public Safety Complex. On May 23, 2018, a specially assembled Public Art Selection Committee consisting of representatives from City Council, Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, Dublin Police Page 2 of 5 Services, Alameda County Fire Department and a Dublin resident reviewed portfolios of 15 potential public artists. The committee selected five artists to create site -specific design proposals. On August 29, 2018, the committee reconvened to review designs proposals from the five artists: Alan Cottrill, James Dinh, Barbara Grygutis, Gordon Huether and the father - son team of Adan and Jesus Romo. A design submitted by Gordon Huether, a Napa-based artist specializing in sculptures that include dichroic glass, was the top choice of the selection committee (See Attachment 1 - Resume, Attachment 2 - Design Proposal). Mr. Huether's design is a 17-foot tall brushed stainless-steel sculpture inspired by the universal symbol of the remembrance/awareness ribbon and inset with blue and red dichroic glass to represent Police and Fire respectively. Dichroic glass is an extremely light sensitive and highly reflective glass that appears to change the color reflected as the viewing angle changes. The piece will sit atop a plinth inscribed with the words “Commitment,” “Honor,” “Integrity” and “Trust,” words which were selected by Police and Fire department personnel. Members of the selection committee particularly admired the simplicity and beauty of the design, incorporation of the blue and red dichroic glass, equal representation given to both departments and the fact that this piece is quite different from the rest of Dublin's public art collection. The committee also appreciated Mr. Huether's extensive experience creating this type of artwork, including the recently completed San Jose Police Department's "End of Watch" memorial. Mr. Huether’s portfolio also includes various works for public safety departments around the country, including "In Honor of the Fallon" for the Oklahoma City Police Headquarters, as well as the City of Napa’s 9/11 Memorial. Mr. Huether has created more than 70 large-scale public commissions and more than 175 pieces for private organizations and individuals. The monument would be fabricated, in coordination with a California licensed engineer, at the Gordon Huether Studio and will include installation coordinated with the project general contractor. Installation is expected to be completed prior to the site opening to the public. Public Works staff, the landscape architect and the City's contracted art conservator, SF Art Conservation, have reviewed Mr. Huether's design to identify any major concerns with its cost estimate, maintenance and safety. No major concerns were identified. Dublin's contract art conservator, SF Art Conservation, has recommended the City ask for a five-year warranty, certain technical specifications to minimize corrosion and consider the purchase of spare dichroic glass panels. Although the dichroic glass is laminated with safety glass to make it sturdier and prevent it from shattering and posing a safety risk, it could still crack if it sustained a significant enough impact or in an earthquake. Having spares on hand would allow for a quick and less expensive repair, since the custom-made dichroic glass panels would be difficult to replace. Page 3 of 5 Engineering documents will be required soon after a contract is awarded, and a detailed review will be conducted early in the public art process to ensure any concerns are addressed in a timely fashion and do not delay the project. ART PLACEMENT The art proposal instructions specified the location of the piece to be on the corner of Clark and Dublin Blvd. However, Mr. Huether's proposal suggests locating the artwork in the center of the turf circle directly in front of the building off Clark Avenue. Staff requested Mr. Huether provide a rendering showing the artwork at the corner as requested in proposal. Mr. Huether provided a very basic rendering, with no plaza or pathways included. The two renderings are shown below. Sculpture in Front-of-Building Circle Location: Page 4 of 5 Sculpture at Corner Location: The specified location at the corner was origin ally chosen with the intention that the artwork to serve as a landmark for the Public Safety Complex and a stop on a future walking or biking tour of public art connecting Downtown Dublin and the Civic Center. The Public Safety Art Selection Committee requested that Staff ask Mr. Huether to further refine his design for the Dublin Boulevard street corner location and look to include items such as angled turf, a circular plaza or a seat wall with benches similar to those in front of the Public Safety Complex They also noted that there would need to be ADA accessible paths to the artwork. Mr. Huether has responded that, if the corner location is preferred, he will work with the project's landscape architect as needed. The current public art budget does not a llow for pathways or seating at the corner location. If the corner location were selected, additional funding would be required. No cost estimate is available at this time. The Public Safety Art Selection Committee also requested information on the feasibility of illuminating the inscribed words so they would be more visible at night. Mr. Huether suggests if the City Council wishes to illuminate the words it can be done most easily and attractively with surface lighting, projecting light onto the words. The surface lighting could be colored if desired and surface lighting is possible in either the corner location or front of building location. The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviewed Mr. Huether's design proposal at its regular meeting on September 13, 2018. On a motion by Commissioner Von Heeder- Leopold, seconded by Commissioner Rudy, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend Mr. Huether's design to be placed in the front-of-building location. The Commission also voted unanimously, on a motion by Commissioner Rudy, seconded by Commissioner Szollos, to recommend that City Council explore the possibility of purchasing replacement glass panels to have on hand in the event of breakage. The City Council is being asked to take two actions. First, Staff is recommending that the City Council approve Mr. Huether's design and authorize Staff to negotiate a contract with Mr. Huether, which should include obtaining a quote for replacement glass Page 5 of 5 panels. Second, Staff is requesting that the City Council provide direction on whether to pursue the front-of-building circle location or keep the originally approved corner location . If the City Council chooses the corner location, Staff would further request that the City Council direct Mr. Huether and the Landscape Architect to develop an access path and seating design for the corner location. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: Stakeholders, including the Alameda County Sheriff and Alameda County Fire Chief, were informed of this meeting. Mr. Huether was provided a copy as well.

I have had the honor and privilege of creating public artwork for a number of police and fire departments across the United States, including installations for the new Oklahoma City, OK Police Department Headquarters, Houston, TX Midwest Police Department, San Jose, CA Fire Station #17 as well as an installation for the San Jose, CA police department. These experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for the valor, leadership and bravery exhibited by members of the police and fire forces and the importance of the relationship between first responders and the communities they serve. I believe public art in civic settings is capable of creating a space for communication and understanding among civil servants and diverse members of the community. I understand that the Public Safety Complex sits in a walkable area that is close to the Dublin Civic Center as well as Downtown Dublin, both of which are close to dynamic residential neighborhoods. The art installation I have proposed conveys the eclecticism and excitement of the diverse community, as well as the ideals and positive message of the Public Safety mission. The work I present for your review will facilitate community relationships, provide a warm and welcoming space for visitors, and complement and illuminate the architectural qualities of the Public Safety Complex through graceful abstraction, material and synergy. My proposal for the exterior plaza embodies the symbol of the remembrance ribbon and and seeks to demonstrate the strength and dedication that our first responders bring to the community without hesitation. The graceful curvature of this 17-foot tall sculpture, inset with lively, colorful dichroic glass, complements the flying architectural lines of the building, and will incorporate seamlessly within the circular plaza, creating a visual poetic dialogue between the landscape and the architecture. The abstracted ribbon provides a welcoming, inviting sense of place that will attract visitors, both on foot and on bicycle, and allow them to interact with the dynamic shape and colors of the sculpture. The blue and red dichroic glass inset in the aluminum is a metaphor for the line that separates order from lawlessness. The gleaming brushed aluminum and the vibrant properties of dichroic glass will enliven the plaza entrance throughout the day and evening, without being a distraction to those driving by on Dublin Boulevard and Clark Avenue. The words “Commitment, Honor, Integrity and Trust” will complete the sculpture by reminding the public of the mission and values for both the Fire and Police Departments. Thank you again for the opportunity to share my proposal for the Dublin Public Safety Complex in Dublin, California. This is an exciting and important project, and it would be a great honor to work with this community to fulfill the vision for this meaningful public art. gordon huether studio art matters9 dublin public safety complex | plaza sculpture Honoring the duality of purpose for both police and fire Synergistic approach: celebrate the cooperation of the two organizations for the best combined public safety efforts Create a welcoming, common ground for diverse communities to come together gordon huether studio art matters10 dublin public safety complex | plaza sculpture gordon huether studio art matters11 inspiration | public safety awareness Universally recognized Symbol of Honor Awareness and respect for a civil society Awareness and respect for the contributions of first responders gordon huether studio art matters12 dublin public safety complex | site plan gordon huether studio art matters13 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters14 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters15 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters16 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters17 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters18 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters19 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters20 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters21 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters22 dublin public safety complex | site plan gordon huether studio art matters23 renderings | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters24 © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 renderings | plaza sculpture gordon huether studio art matters25 © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 renderings | plaza sculpture gordon huether studio art matters26 © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 renderings | plaza sculpture gordon huether studio art matters27 © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 renderings | plaza sculpture gordon huether studio art matters28 renderings - night | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters29 renderings - night | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters30 renderings - night | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters31 renderings - night | plaza sculpture © Gordon Huether + Partners 2018 gordon huether studio art matters32 Dichroic Glass Dichroic means ‘’two colored’’ and is derived from the Greek words ‘’di’’ for two and ‘’chroma’’ for color. Dichroic glass and acrylic are extremely light sensitive and highly reflective, with fantastic multi- colored and reflective properties. Light transmitted through a dichroic surface will appear to be one color and light reflected from it will appear as a complementary color. As the angle at which the dichroic is viewed changes, the colors that are transmitted and reflected also change. materials gordon huether studio art matters33 Stainless Steel Stainless steel is a lightweight, highly conductive, reflective and non-toxic metal that can be easily machined. The metal’s durability and numerous advantageous properties make it an ideal material for public art applications. materials gordon huether studio art matters34 specifications | plaza sculpture 17'-2"3'-11 1/8" 2"15'-11 3/8"8'-5/8"STAINLESS STEEL BODY DICHROIC GLASS MECHANICALLY FASTENED TO STAINLESS BODY 1'-0" gordon huether studio art matters35 specifications | plaza sculpture 10 1/8"11 1/4" 3'-0"17'-2"15'-11 3/8"8'-5/8"1" DICHROIC GLASS MECHANICALLY FASTENED TO STAINLESS BODY STAINLESS STEEL BODY gordon huether studio art matters36 • The internal structure of the sculpture will be fabricated from square tube, final sizing to be determined during design development phase in coordination with California certified engineer. • The words on the pedestal will be waterjet-cut aluminum mechanically fixed to the concrete. • Rolling the necessary tube to the proper shape using a CNC guided tube bender will create the curves of the internal structure. • Internal trussing will be located within the structure to add strength as specified by an engineer during the design development phase. • The internal structure of the blades will be clad with aluminum sheet with appropriate gauge thickness to be determined during design development phase in coordination with California certified engineer to give a solid appearance. • The exterior aluminum sheet will be attached with welding and structural grade aluminum adhesives as specified by the engineer during the design development phase. • Exterior stainless steel will have a brushed finish applied. • Safety laminated dichroic glass will be cut at the appropriate diameter to create curvature that follows the sculpture’s shape. • Glass will have mounting holes drilled for mechanical fastening to the mounting channel. • Glass components of the blades are approximately 8’ H x 12” W x .75” D. • For glass mounting purposes, a channel will be cut through the sculpture structure and holes will be drilled to allow for mounting of glass components. During installation, glass components will be mechanically fastened and adhered to the mounting channel with a structural grade silicone. • A 1” thick baseplate will be welded at the base of the sculpture for mounting purposes. (Engineer will confirm final dimensions of baseplate during design development phase.) • Baseplate will have mounting holes for securing to a concrete foundation. (Engineer will determine the size and number of anchor holes during design development phase.) *Please note: Dimensions, fabrication, site prep and installation details are for proposal purposes only, and may be subject to modification during design development and/or engineer review. fabrication | plaza sculpture gordon huether studio art matters37 site preparation | plaza sculpture It is understood that Client is responsible for site preparation. Gordon Huether Studio (GHS) will collaborate with Client on site preparation in the following manner: • GHS will provide all necessary calculations and information to Client to ensure that Client’s contractors will be able to prepare the site appropriately for the proper acceptance of artwork. • GHS will collaborate with all necessary parties throughout all stages of site preparation. • GHS will provide recommendations for preparing a foundation that can be integrated into the current site plan. gordon huether studio art matters38 *Please note: Dimensions,fabrication, site prep and installation details are for proposal purposes only, and may be subject to modification during design development and/or engineer review. installation | plaza sculpture • Prior to setting an installation date, GHS will make a site visit to ensure that the site is ready for installation. • Upon confirmation that the site is ready for installation, GHS will ship sculpture as a dedicated truckload to site. • GHS will arrive one day prior to delivery of sculpture to accept required equipment and prepare site for delivery of sculpture. • A crane with operator, 40 ft articulating boom lift, generator and miscellaneous hand tools will be required for installation. • When truck arrives on site with sculpture at scheduled time, GHS, with crane operator, will rig the sculpture for lifting and setting on foundation. As soon as truck is unloaded, it will demobilize from site. • Once sculpture is set on foundation, GHS will drill holes and set anchor bolts to the appropriate size and embedment depth, (as determined by engineer). Setting anchor bolts after sculpture is set on foundation helps prevent anchors from being set improperly during the pouring of the foundation and allows for slight adjustment if needed during installation. • GHS will then secure sculpture with the anchor bolts to foundation. • Once sculpture is secured to the foundation, crane and operator will demobilize. • GHS will use articulating boom lift to set dichroic glass into the predetermined locations on sculpture. Each piece of glass will be secured within the mounting channel with mechanical fasteners as well as structural grade silicone. • Glass will be cleaned as it is installed. • All aluminum components will be cleaned and polished. • Site will be cleaned and all equipment demobilized. • GHS will demobilize. gordon huether studio art matters39 estimated budget | plaza sculpture BUDGET ITEM ESTIMATED COST Artist Fee $60,000 Project Managment $16,800 Design Management, Engineer Coordination, Material Purchasing, Fabrication Scheduling and Coordination, Site Work Coordination, Shipping Coordination, Equipment Coordination, Installation Coordination Client Communications, General Project Oversight Digital Design $7,000 Renderings, Digital Modeling, Shop Drawings, etc. (GHS staff) Engineering $13,800 Fabrication | Materials $103,600 Stainless Steel, Glass, Hardware, Plaque, etc. Fabrication | Labor $64,400 Material Prep, Welding, Water Jet Cutting, Stainless Steel Tube Rolling, Glass Lamination, Glass Drilling, Assembly, Polishing, etc. Shipping $6,800 Crating, Permitting, Dedicated Truckload Delivery Installation $27,600 Equipment, Crane and Operator, Installation, Labor TOTAL ESTIMATED BUDGET $300,000 gordon huether studio art matters40 budget note | plaza sculpture In determining project budgets, GHS considers contingency, insurance, studio space and other administrative costs to be part of our business overhead.
