DESCRIPTION: In 2001-2002 the Dublin City Cotmcil rated as a high priority goal:
"the creation of a Public Art Master Plan for the City of Dublin". The Public Art Master Plan will
provide a comprehensive plan to formally articulate the City's goals and objectives and establish
guidelines for the operation of the City's Public Art Program.
At the February 18, 2003 meeting of the Dublin City Council, the Council authorized Staff to circulate a
Request for Proposals for consultant services for the preparation of the Public Art Master Plan. Six
proposals were received. A committee consisting of the Community Development Director, Parks &
Community Services Director, Heritage and Cultural Arts Supervisor and one representative from the
Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission interviewed four of the candidates. The consulting firm that is
recommended is Wright Consulting, headquartered in Felton, Ca. The consulting team is Virginia Wright,
principal, and Jerry Allen, senior associate.
Ms. Wright has successfully completed a number of public art and community cultural plans. In 2001
Wright Consulting completed the Public Art Master Plan for the City of Stockton, which was adopted
unanimously by City Council. In 2000, Ms. Wright was project manager for the City of San Jose Public
Art Master Plan. In 1998, she worked as a Project Associate, with Jerry Allen and Associates, on the City
of Santa Cruz Public Art Master Plan. She developed a community cultural plan for the City of Gilroy
that resulted in the creation of the first city staff position dedicated to the arts, and recently completed a
community cultural plan for Carson City, NV. Other recent work includes an evaluation of the City of
San Jose's Arts Programs and a restructuring of the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County's Grants
Programs.

G:\COUNCILL~genda Statements~2003\6-3 agreement for public art consultant.doc
Mr. Allen brings twenty-five years experience in the public art field to this project. He was the Visual
Arts Coordinator for the King County Arts Commission (Seattle) in the mid-seventies. King County had
one of the earliest percent for art programs in the nation. After serving as Executive Director of the King
County Arts Commission, Mr. Allen became the Director of Cultural Affairs for the City of Dallas, Texas.
In that position, he developed the Cities' first public art master plan resulting in the passage of the first
percent for art ordinance in Texas.
Mr. Allen has consulted widely in the development of public art programs, advising such diverse cities as
New Orleans, St. Louis, Montreal, Denver, Sacramento, Nashville, Corpus Christi, Milwaukee, Charlotte,
NC, San Diego, Reno, NV and Ogdon, UT. Mr. Allen has developed a Public Art and Design Plan for
Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale), a Public Art Plan for Alameda County, and a Public Art Master Plan
for Santa Cruz resulted in the City passing its first two-percent public art ordinance. For nearly six years,
he served on the Steering Committee for public art at the new Denver International Airport, advising the
city on the allocation of more than $7.5 million in public art projects. Resumes for both Ms. Wright and
Mr. Allen are Attachment 1.
Attachment 2 is the Consultant Services Agreement for the Public Art Master Plan. Exhibit A to the
Agreement is a detailed scope of work for the project. As part of their proposal Wright Consulting
recommends forming a Public Art Task Force for the planning process.
The suggested make up of the task force is as follows: · (2) Representatives from the Artist community
· (2) Representatives from the Development community
(1) Representative from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission
· (1) Representative from the City Council
· (2) Representatives from the community at large.
· (1) Representative from the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation
The Task Force, along with designated Staff will identify key issues and people, provide guidance to the
consultant on Dublin's culture, review draft plans and make a final recommendation on the Public Art
Master Plan to the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and City Council.
The following is the projected time line for the Public Art Master Plan:
· June 3, 2003 City Council to Award Consulting Services Agreement
· June 13, 2003 Orientation for Consultant
· July 2003 Formation of Public Art Task Force

RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of Staff that City Council approve the
agreement with Wright Consulting and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement. It is further
recommended that the City Council approve the formation of a Public Art Task Force and authorize Staff
to solicit interested persons to participate on the Task Force for appointment by the Mayor.

property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole
or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees,
subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character
of their work. The foregoing obligation of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage

Consulting Services Agreement between June 3, 2003
City of Dublin and Wright Consulting Page 6 of 12

violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the
duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance
certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability
under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall
apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been
determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the
provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Consultant shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions
for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the
payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of
City.
Section 6. STATUS OF CONSULTANT.
6.1 Independent Contractor. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall
be an independent contractor and shall not be an employee of City. City shall have the
right to control Consultant only insofar as the results of Consultant's services rendered
pursuant to this Agreement and assignment of personnel pursuant to Subparagraph 1.3;
however, otherwise City shall not have the right to control the means by which Consultant
accomplishes services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
City, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary, Consultant
and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing services under this
Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any and
all claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including
but not limited to eligibility to enroll in the California Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS) as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for
employer contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.
6.2 Consultant No Agent. Except as City may specify in writing, Consultant shall have no
authority, express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as an
agent. Consultant shall have no authority, express or implied, pursuant to this Agreement

responsible for implementation of the Public Art Program; and 4) a group to be
determined by the City staff. The purposes of the community meetings are two-fold. The

approaches, budgets, schedules and community outreach activities. Private developer's
guidelines will be included in the final document along with private developer site

practices will be identified, with advantages and disadvantages of each option. These will
be first reviewed by City staff and then presented to the Public Art Task Force for their
review and recommendations.

practices of public art funding with
advantages and disadvantages of each
method.
TASK 8: FINAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT

recommended in the plan are translated into specific programs and initiatives by the
client agency. To accomplish this task, the Consultant will be available for telephone
consultations with the client for a period of three months following the completion of
the plan. This will give the client a "shake-down" period with the plan, during which
the Consultant will provide advice on issues that arise during the critical
implementation period.

consultations with the client on any
issues that arise in the implementation of
