OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
NO. LTC # 044 -2013 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Kathie G. Brooks, Interim City Manager
DATE: February 6, 2013
SUBJECT: Status of Lighthouse in South Pointe Park LED Replacement
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to inform you of the status of the new LED lights being
installed at the Art in Public Places "Lighthouse" in South Pointe Park.
On November 2011, the LED lights were installed at the "Lighthouse." The LED lights started having
electrical issues in the spring of 2012. The General Contractor and fabricator tried on numerous
occasions to fix the existing LED lights but they were not able to do so. The Artist and General
Contractor agreed they needed to replace the LED lights with a new system.
The artwork has not been accepted by the City pending resolution of this outstanding condition. The
City's contract with the Artist is for a not to exceed amount of $500,000 for creation, design
development, fabrication, installation, conservation documentation and a contingency. City included
a fifteen (15 %) percent contingency fee, in the amount of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
($75,000.00) to provide for unforeseen costs. The budget did not include an artist fee, but the
contract provided that any unused portion of the Contingency may be paid to the Artist as an artist
fee. To date, the artist has been paid $300,000 for the project. The cost of the new LED lights is
$50,000 including installation, and will be paid from the Artists Contingency Fee.
All City departments have reviewed the new LED system the Administration has approved the
installation of the new LED lights. The installation of the new LED lights is expected to be
completed by March 31, 2013. The timeline is attached.
