SOUTH POINTE PARK PIER CONSTRUCTION FUND, PREVIOUSLY
APPROPRIATED AS PART OF THE FY 2010/11 CAPITAL BUDGET.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution.
BACKGROUND
On March 9, 2011, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2011-27606, accepting the
recommendation of the City Manager, pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 04-
10/11, for design, bid, award, and construction administration services for the South Pointe Park
Pier; and authorizing the Administration to enter into negotiations with the top-ranked firm, Post,
Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc.
On July 19, 2011, the Office of Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) presented conceptual
drawings of the proposed pier in South Pointe Park to the Art in Public Places (AiPP)
Committee. The CIP project manager for the pier told the Committee the AiPP appropriation
was $64,177. Because the dollar amount of the AiPP contribution was not significant for such an
important project, the committee discussed with CIP any opportunities available for an artistic
intervention on the pier involving an existing element within the pier design. CIP suggested the
shade structures or the benches, resulting in a combination of both the CIP project budget and
the AiPP budget. They concurred that this would create a more substantial budget and AiPP
Page 2 of 15
Public Art Project"Gate"South Pointe Park Pier
Commission Meeting
July 17, 2013
would be able to commission an internationally recognized artist that would create an original
site specific work of art for the pier.
The AiPP committee reviewed and discussed the four options for selecting an artist (Exhibit 1)
in the City's AiPP Ordinance (as codified in Chapter 82, Articles VII, Divisions 1 through 4,
Section 82-612). The members agreed to select an artist by "direct selection" (option 3). The
primary reason for "direct selection" was to meet the design and construction deadlines already
established by CIP, as demolition of the pier was to begin in the fall of 2012, and construction of
the pier was to begin January 2013. The Committee unanimously agreed to have staff ask
Tobias Rehberger (Artist), the artist commissioned for the lighthouse in South Pointe Park, if he
would be interested in doing an artistic intervention on the shade structures, benches or other
possible interventions on the pier. The Committee felt very strongly this was a unique
opportunity to ask the Artist for an artistic intervention in one of the elements of pier because:
1. The two art projects (this new intervention and the already installed lighthouse at the west
lawn of the park) could create an artistic dialog between them; and
2. The two art projects could create a linkage between the east and west side of South Pointe
Park.
In the latter part of July 2011, staff contacted the Artist with the Committee's recommendation
(referenced above) and the Artist advised he would consider their request.
In November 2011, Mr. Lutz Bantel, Artist Studio Manager, contacted staff and requested the
CADD file of the plan drawings for the pier. Additionally, Mr. Bantel requested a site visit of the
location of the pier.
On November 30, 2011, Mr. Bantel met with AiPP and CIP staff and reviewed and discussed
the drawings of the pier, the budget, the pier project deadline, and conducted a site visit to the
location of the pier. Mr. Bantel advised the Artist would propose an artistic intervention on the
access gate to the pier. The combined budgets of AiPP and CIP would be broken down as
follows; $64,177, AiPP contribution; $25,000 CIP contribution; total project budget $89,177; less
$13,376, for a 15% Contingency Fee, leaving a total project budget for the Artist not to exceed
of$75,801, for Artist Fee, Design Drawings, Permitting, Production, and Installation.
On July 3, 2012, the Artist submitted the first set of conceptual drawings of the gate and they
were provided to TCD, CIP, and DRB for comment.
On September 29, 2012, new conceptual drawings were submitted addressing the comments
from staff.
On October 15, 2012, AiPP committee met and reviewed the conceptual drawings and
submitted additional comments for the Artist to address.
At the November 20, 2012, AiPP Meeting, the Committee reviewed the new conceptual
drawings provided by the Artist and he addressed all their comments. A complete presentation
was planned for the December 18, 2012, AiPP meeting, which would include:
1. Cover letter not to exceed one (1) page listing Artists experience with art projects;
2. Artist Statement not to exceed 250 words;
3. Current C.V.;
Page 3 of 15
Public Art Project"Gate"South Pointe Park Pier
Commission Meeting
July 17, 2013
4. Two (2) conceptual drawings to scale (1 drawing with gate open and 1 drawing with gate
closed);
5. Detailed project budget; and
6. Production and installation timeline timed for an unveiling during Art Basel Miami Beach
December 2013.
On December 4, 2012, staff was directed by the Administration to research and recommend
additional artists and also ask the AiPP Committee to do the same.
On December 7, staff was directed by the Administration to prepare a Call to Artists (Exhibit 2).
A Call to Artists was sent to the following artists; Daniel Buren, Tom Burr, Jim Drain, Mark
Handforth, Liam Gillick, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Barbara Grygutis, Nick Lyle & Ries Niemi and
Carolina Sardi.
After comments from the artists' representatives, the Administration extended the deadline to
Feb. 15, 2013.
At the February 26, 2012, AiPP Meeting, the Committee reviewed the four proposals submitted
by Barbara Grygutis, Nick Lyle & Ries Niemi, Carolina Sardi, and Tobias Rehberger; and made
the following comments.
1. Barbara Grygutis — Not unique or welcoming; generic; derivative; design makes the
entrance sinister, text not in scale with the dimensions of the gate; when the gate is open
the artwork disappears; and it does not have color.
2. Nick Lyle & Ries Nierni—Artwork disappears when gate is open; design arts & crafts; very
busy; not contemporary design in alignment with contemporary architectural design of the
park and pier; does not integrate with grid pattern of the piers railings adjacent to the gate;
and it looks like a pulled down security gate.
3. Carolina Sardi — Bland, different vocabulary in relationship to surroundings; unimaginative;
and it has a residential or commercial look.
4. Tobias Rehberger — Contemporary design like the park and pier; relationship between
design of the gate and pier very well integrated; project is more contextual; work is site
specific; signage is excellent for visitors on the beach and cut walk; design does not
disappear when the gate is open; great use of color; and gate can be viewed as a work of
optic art.
The committee discussed the proposals at length and unanimously selected Tobias
Rehberger's "Gate" (working title), to be commissioned for South Pointe Park Pier because of
the contemporary design of the gate; how well the gate integrates with the design of the pier
and the park; the great use of color; artwork can be seen when the gates are open; the signage
can be seen when the gates are open and from a distance; and gate stands on its own merits
as a work of optic art.
The Committee duly noted that Mr. Rehberger is an internationally recognized artist who has
completed twenty-five (25) public projects in Europe, Asia and the United State and some of his
most important public art projects are:

PROPOSALS
Barbara Grygutis: "Gate" at South Pointe Park Pier(Exhibit 3)
The following description of the project is taken from Barbara Grygutis proposal.
"The gate design which I propose for the South Pointe Park Pier is inspired by the life forms
under the pier, sea grasses. Sea grasses occur throughout the coastal areas of Florida.
When the gates are open, the visual experience is of the sea grass bed, with multiple grasses
moving with the currents of the sea.
The gates and stationary structural supports will be aluminum. The finish of the gates will be a
marine grade clear coat over aluminum."
Nick Lyle & Ries Niemi: "Gate" at South Pointe Park Pier(Exhibit 4)
The following description of the project is taken from Nick Lyle & Ries Niemi proposal.
"The proposed gate will be hand forged, mostly from round bar, the woven feel and the large
amount of open space is inspired by nets, ropes, and the ocean itself. Both Niemi and Lyle
combine the lovely hand crafting of traditional blacksmithing with the efficiency, strength and
weather resistance of modern welding and fabrication techniques.

Commission Meeting
July 17, 2013
The text on top of the gates breaks up the lines, flowing like a wave. The typestyle will be
chosen to remind one of the lettering on the hulls of ships"
Tobias Rehberger: "Gate" at South Pointe Park Pier(Exhibit 5)
The following description of the project is taken from Tobias Rehberger proposal.
"My concept for the South Pointe Park Pier gate is to make it into a 'speech bubble', which
triggers the design of the gate itself. The 'speech bubble'is a visual element that has repeatedly
appeared in several of my works in order to make inanimate objects speak and have almost
become a hallmark for my work. In this case it is used to have the pier introduce itself to its
visitors.
When the gate is open, the 'speech bubble' playfully sit's on top of the archway of the gate,
which is painted in the same bright colors that have developed as my signature palette and will
allow the "obstinate lighthouse"to establish a visual dialog with the pier and thereby linking the
two projects.
The graphic pattern of the gate symbolize sound waves spreading from the 'speech bubble'and
can also be read as a reference not only to optical art in general but, are references to previous
projects of mine. Additionally, the pattern is also an abstraction of the way the wooden boards
are laid on the pier.
Material:Aluminum with marine grade paint.
Color: Palette of the 'obstinate lighthouse'but not the neon shades, which will fade in the bright
sun of Miami Beach.
There will be an anti graffiti protection."
Carolina Sardi: "Gate" at South Pointe Park Pier(Exhibit 6)
The following description of the project is taken from Carolina Sardi proposal.
"My design for the South Point Park Pier Gate maintains the structure of the gate example to
ensure that design keeps a relation to the pier railings and features and that the engineering of
the project it's a viable one.
Materials to be used are marine grade aluminum and paints. The combination of colors can vary
a lot but I will prefer to pick some type of Blue, Orange, Magenta, Yellow and Green."
On April 10, 2013, an email was sent to the President, South of Fifth Street Neighborhood
Association and other residents that live South of Fifth providing a link to the four (4)
aforementioned proposals and the results of the Art in Public Places Committee
recommendation for the South Pointe Park Pier "Gate." Additionally, a copy of the information
on the website was made available for viewing at the 4th floor reception desk in City Hall.
At its May 7, 2013 meeting, the Design Review Board (DRB) approved, at the first or two
required public hearings, a proposed AiPP Project to be situated at the entrance to the new
Page 6 of 15
Public Art Project"Gate"South Pointe Park Pier
Commission Meeting
July 17, 2013
South Pointe Park Pier as to location, footprint, relationship to context, and the use of physically
and aesthetically durable materials for its construction commensurate with the severe marine
environment of the proposed "art" gate. At the second of the two required public hearings, once
an artist and design concept had been selected, the DRB reviewed the massing, location,
choice of materials, and any other relevant factors in considering its approval.
On May 7, 2013, a presentation was made by staff at the South Pointe Park Community Center
to the eleven (11) residents in attendance and all those present were South of Fifth residents.
All comments made by the residents were in support of the recommendation of the Art in Public
Committee recommendation of the Tobias Rehberger proposal. The comments made focused
on maintenance of the artwork and the clearance of the "speech bubble." Residents were
concerned the "speech bubble" could be dangerous if the point was too low. Following the
meeting staff confirmed the clearance is 7'8" which exceeds the requirement in the Florida
Building Code.
NEIGHBORHOODS/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE REVIEW
On May 20, 2013, the Neighborhoods and Community Affairs Committee discussed the AiPP's
recommendation and solicited comments from members of the public present. At the
conclusion of their discussion they passed a motion accepting the Art in Public Places
Committee's recommendation.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING
