This PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is dated as of September 1, 2020 ("Effective Date"), and is entered into between
the CITY OF DUBLIN, a California municipal corporation ("City"), and Carl Zeiss, Inc.
("Developer"). City and Developer may be referred to individually as a "Party" or collectively as
the "Parties." City and Developer enter into this Agreement with reference to the following recitals
of fact (each, a "Recital"):
RECITALS
A. Developer is the owner of property in the City of Dublin ("City") generally located
on the Northeast corner of Dublin Blvd. & Arnold Road, and known as Zeiss Innovation Center
Project, 5300 Central Pkwy (APN 986-0014-010-00) ("Property"). Developer intends to develop
the Zeiss Innovation Center, which is currently under construction, includes a 208,650-square-
foot, three-story, research, and development building. This facility will contain labs, offices,
warehouse space, and demonstration and showroom space on the Property ("Project").
B. On March 06, 2018, the City Council approved the Site Development Review
Permit, by adopting Resolution No. 22-18 for the Project. Condition #18 of the Site Development
Review Permit (the "Condition") requires Developer to acquire and install a public art project in
accordance with Chapter 8.58 of the City Municipal Code valued at a minimum of $390,000, or
0.5% of the building valuation (exclusive of land), to comply with the Project's public art
compliance report submitted by the Developer and on file with the City, and to, prior to first
occupancy, (a) secure completion of the public art project in a manner deemed satisfactory to the
City and (b) execute an agreement between the City and Developer that sets forth the ownership,
maintenance responsibilities and insurance coverage for the public art project.
C. Developer entered into a Public Art Agreement with Ned Kahn, a sole proprietor
("Artist"), on or around April 15th, 2019 ("Artist Agreement"). Under the Artist Agreement, the
Artist agreed to design, fabricate and install public art on the Property. A copy of the Artist
Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as "Exhibit A."
D. On June 11, 2020, the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission reviewed the
proposed public art project prepared by the Developer ("Public Art") and recommended approval

that would appear to float over the surface of the water in the proposed condensate pool. The Public
Art will be installed in the locations set forth on "Exhibit B," which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.

Carl Zeiss Public Art Installation
& Maintenance Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION AND THE
PROMISES AND COVENANTS OF CITY AND DEVELOPER SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT, CITY AND DEVELOPER AGREE, AS FOLLOWS:
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION, OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE
1.1 Installation and City Manager Determination. Developer shall cause the Public Art
to be installed on the Property at the locations set forth on Exhibit B. Within five (5) working days
of notice of the installation, the City Manager, or his designee, shall determine if the Public Art
has been completed in a satisfactory manner, which determination shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be made if the Public Art is in compliance with Site
Development Review Permit Condition and Artist Agreement, and if such determination cannot
be made, the City Manager shall provide written notice to the Developer pursuant to Section 2.2
specifying the corrective work needed for compliance within this five (5) day time period. In the
event that corrective work is required to bring the Public Art into compliance, Developer will
notify the City upon completion of the corrective work pursuant to Section 2.2, and the City
Manager will again be permitted five (5) days to inspect the work as provided in this paragraph.
If written notice of the City Manager's approval or corrective work needed is not timely provided
to the Developer pursuant to Section 2.2, the Public Art shall be deemed approved and completed
to the City Manager's satisfaction, and certificates of occupancy shall not be withheld for failure
to satisfy the Condition.
1.2 Ownership and Developer's Maintenance. Following the City's approval or
deemed approval, as set forth in Section 1.1 above, Developer shall accept the Public Art from the
Artist. Thereafter, Developer shall own the Public Art and shall maintain the Public Art, at its
sole cost and expense, in good repair and condition and in accordance with the general maintenance
plan prepared by the Artist under the Artist Agreement. Developer will use reasonable efforts to
maintain the Public Art in good repair and condition. If the Public Art suffers deterioration due to
any cause other than Developer's failure to maintain the Art, Developer and City shall meet and
confer in good faith to determine whether to replace any portion of the Public Art or translate any
component into new media, or whether to restore the Public Art. The anticipated life span of the
Public Art is a minimum of 25 years from the date of approval or deemed approval by the City, as
set forth in Section 1.1 above. After that time, Developer may, in consultation with City, re-
evaluate the Public Art to determine if it retains its identity as a work of art and, if not, whether to
take appropriate action, including the possibility of destroying the Public Art. In the event that the
Developer, in consultation with City, determines that the Public Art does not retain its identity as
a work of art and Developer wishes to destroy the Public Art, the Developer must replace the
Public Art with art of similar value, adjusted for inflation ("Replacement Art"). Any proposed
Replacement Art must be approved by the City prior to the destruction of the Public Art.
1.3 City's Maintenance Option. In the event that Developer fails to maintain the Public
Art in accordance with this Agreement, City shall provide written notice of such condition pursuant
to Section 2.2. In the event that Developer fails to cure or commence to cure the condition within
thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to perform all acts necessary to cure such condition (or to pursue such other remedy available to
Carl Zeiss Public Art Installation
& Maintenance Agreement
the City), including without limitation the right to access the Public Art, and to receive from
Developer the City's costs for such action.
1.4 Modifications; Relocation. Developer intends to display the Public Art as
originally created by Artist at the locations set forth on Exhibit B. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Developer may make minor modifications to the Public Art and/or relocate the Public Art with the
consent of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
1.5 Visual Barriers. The Parties agree that no structures or visual barriers of any kind
that impair or impede the public's ability to view the Public Art shall be constructed or maintained
on or adjacent to the Public Work, nor shall the Parties do anything that shall prevent, impair, or
discourage the public's ability to view the Public Art.
1.6 Insurance. Developer and Artist are required to secure and maintain insurance
during the fabrication and installation phases of the Public Art as set forth further in the Artist
Agreement. Developer shall provide City with verification of the required insurance under the
Artist Agreement. In addition, Developer shall obtain and maintain in effect a combined single
limit policy of liability insurance not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) covering the Public
Art placed with insurers with a Bests' rating of no less than A:VII and shall name the City as an
additional insured on such policy. An endorsement must state that coverage is primary insurance
with respect to the City and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and that no insurance
or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be called upon to contribute to a loss under the
coverage. Any failure of Developer to comply with reporting provisions of the policy shall not
affect coverage provided to City and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. Developer
shall notify City, pursuant to Section 2.2, within fourteen (14) days of notification from
Developer's insurer if such coverage is suspended, voided or reduced in coverage or in limits.
1.7 Satisfaction of the Condition. City agrees that compliance with this Agreement
shall fully satisfy the Condition. Provided Developer is in substantial compliance with this
Agreement and has otherwise fulfilled any non -Public Art -related requirements, the City may not
withhold issuance of Project building permits and/or certificates of occupancy, including but not
limited to the first certificate of occupancy for the Project, based on the Condition.

any such removal or destruction, pursuant to Title 17, Section 106A of the United States Code, or
pursuant to Section 987 of the California Civil Code as such sections now exist or may hereafter
be amended.
C. Within the scope of its legal authority, Client shall have the right to make photographs,
drawings, or other two- dimensional reproductions of the conceptual design
without prior consent of the Artist if used solely for non- commercial purposes, advertising,
descriptive brochures, and similar purposes.
21. RIGHT TO ADEQUATE ASSURANCE OF PERFORMANCE. Each party to this Agreement undertakes
the obligation that the other's expectation of receiving due performance will not be impaired. When
reasonable grounds for insecurity arises with respect to the performance of either party, the other
Agreement for Services - Public Art
Page 5 of 13 4/15/2019
EXHIBIT A
may in writing demand adequate assurance of due performance, and until it receives such
assurance, may, if reasonable, suspend any performance for which the agreed return has not
been received. "Reasonable" includes not only the conduct of a party with respect to other
agreements with parties to this Agreement or others. After receipt of a justified demand, failure
to provide within a reasonable time, but not exceed fifteen (15) days, such assurance of due
performance as is adequate under the circumstances of the particular case is a repudiation of this
Agreement. Acceptance of any improper delivery, service or payment does not prejudice the
aggrieved party's right to demand adequate assurance of future performance.
22. CONFIDENTIALITY. Artist shall treat all information obtained from Client in the performance of
this Agreement as confidential and proprietary to Client. Artist shall treat all records and work
product prepared or maintained by Artist in the performance of this Agreement as confidential. Artist
agrees that it will not use any information obtained as a consequence of the performance of work for
any purpose other than fulfillment of Artist's scope of work. Artist will not disclose any information
prepared for Client, or obtained from Client or obtained as a consequence of the performance of
work, to any person other than Client, or its own employees, agents or subcontractors, who have a
need for the information for the performance of work under this Agreement unless such disclosure is
specifically authorized in writing by the Client. Artist shall advise Client of any request for
disclosure of information or of any actual or potential disclosure of information. Artist's obligations
under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
23. ACCIDENT REPORT. If any damage (including death, personal injury, or property damage) occurs in
connection with the performance of this Agreement, Artist shall promptly submit to the Client a
written notice of such accident with the following information:
A. Name and address of the injured or deceased person(s);
B. Name and address of any witness;
C. Name and address of Artist's insurance company; and
D. A detailed description of the damage and whether any Client property was involved.
24. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. During the course of this Agreement, communications may
occur through sending, receiving or exchanging electronic versions of documents and e-mails
using commercially available computer software and Internet access. Artist and the Client
acknowledge that the Internet is occasionally victimized by the creation and dissemination of so-
called viruses or similar destructive electronic programs. Artist and the Client view the issues
raised by these viruses seriously and have invested in document and e-mail scanning software
that identify and reject files containing known viruses. Artist agrees to update its system with the
software vendor's most current releases at regular intervals. Because of the virus scanning software,
the respective computer systems of the parties may occasionally reject a communication. The
parties acknowledge that this occurrence is to be expected as part of the ordinary course of business.
Because the virus protection industry is generally one or two steps behind new viruses, neither party
can guarantee that its respective communications and documents will be virus free. Occasionally, a
Agreement for Services - Public Art
Page 6 of 13 4/15/2019
EXHIBIT A
virus will escape and go undetected as it is passed from system to system. Although each party will
use all reasonable efforts to assure that its communications are viruses free, neither party warrants
that its documents will be virus free. Each party agrees to advise the other if it discovers a virus in its
respective system that may have been communicated to the other party.
25. ELECTRONIC OR MAGNETIC DATA. If the Scope of Work requires that Artist provide documents in
electronic or magnetic formats, they shall be provided in a manipulative form. Client recognizes that
electronic or magnetic data and its transmission may be damaged, may develop inaccuracies during
use, and may contain viruses or other destructive programs, and that software and hardware
operating systems may become obsolete. Artist shall not be liable for any loss of use, profit, or any
other damages arising from Client's reuse, misuse, modification, or misinterpretation of the data
submitted in electronic or magnetic form. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall affect the
indemnification or standard of care required hereunder for Artist with respect to Artist's work and
work products delivered in hard copy.

Project Description
Proiect Description:
Sensor Field
by Ned Kahn
The concept of Sensor Field by Ned Kahn for Zeiss, Dublin is a field of responsive air sensors that would
appear to float over the surface of the water in the proposed condensate pool. The idea is to install an array
of sensors rising to a maximum of 30" above the water, creating swaying metallic grasses. The support
structure would be submerged and hidden under water and the moving metal grasses would both reflect
on the water surface and capture rippling light bouncing off the water. The idea is that the Sensor Field
would be a register for the moment -by -moment changes in the atmosphere, the water surface and the
ambient light and color from the sky and surrounding environment.
The support structure for the artwork would be fabricated entirely out of marine grade stainless steel and
would simply rest on the bottom of the pool. No anchors or penetrations into the pool membrane would be
needed, as the entire artwork array would be bolted together to form a structurally linked matrix. The
geometry of the artwork array would follow the polar grid that the designers used as an organizing overlay
for the landscape and architecture. This artwork would not require any modifications to the existing plans
for the pool. The artwork supports would not interfere with the circulation and filter system for the pool and
could easily be removed if maintenance or repair of the pool is ever needed.
