Gonzalez ~ ~ City Manager opVv 0 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROPRIATING AND AUTHORIZING THE USE OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $27,650.00 FROM ART IN PUBLIC PLACES FUND NO. 147 TO COMPLETE THE PUBLIC ART COMMISSION FOR THE NORTH SHORE PARK YOUTH CENTER ENTITLED "CIRCLE" . DATE: October 15, 2003 ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution. FUNDING: $27,650.00 from Art in Public Places Fund No. 147 ANALYSIS: The new construction of the North Shore Park Youth Center required a contribution of one and a half percent (1 %%) of the construction costs to the Art in Public Places (AiPP) fund. In September of 2000, Bermello Ajamil & Partners, the project architect, made a presentation to the AiPP Committee, and the site was approved for a public art project. Later that year, a "Call to Artists" was conducted, and a Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) was formed, which included representatives from the Parks and Recreation Facilities Board, the North Beach Youth Center Oversight Committee, the General Obligations Bond Oversight Committee, the North Beach Development Corporation, the City Planning and Economic Development departments, and the Project Architect. Out of 33 submissions, five artists were short listed and paid an honorarium of $1 ,000.00 each to develop a design proposal. On December 19, 2000, the PAC selected the design proposal titled "Circle" by the Artist Connie L10veras ("Artist"). On January 24,2001, "Circle" was approved by the North Shore Youth Center Oversight Committee; on March 5, 2001, "Circle" was approved by the General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee; and on November 20, 2001, "Circle" was approved by the Design Review Board. City Commission Memorandum September 10, 2003 North Shore Park Youth Center AiPP Page 2 of 3 The Artist conducted seven workshops in North Beach and has produced 900 handmade clay tiles in a sports motif of earth tones which will create the ceramic mural on the common area wall of the main building facing west (Exhibit "A"). The implementation of this design will serve as an introduction to the idea of public art in creating a sense of ownership, relevance and importance due to the interaction that has taken place and will continue to take place between the work of art and its viewers. The "Circle" design proposal will visually enhance the North Beach community and serve as an important public art component at the North Shore Park Youth Center. On November 28, 2001, the City Commission adopted Resolution No.2001-24670, which appropriated and approved funding in the amount of up to $76,000.00 from the Parks Bond fund and General Obligation Bond fund allocations to the Art in Public Places Fund No. 147. I n April of 2002, the City entered into a contract with the Artist, which stipulated that the Artist had 480 days to complete the installation. $38,000.00 was paid to the Artist upon execution of the agreement in order to begin the workshops and to cover cost of materials. A balance of up to $38,000.00 is to be paid upon completion of the project. The Artist began implementation of her designs by scheduling summer workshops and video documentation with the children of the North Shore recreational programs and production of the tiles began in the fall. The Artist's contract includes requirements for coordination of construction and installation involving the City, the North Shore Park Youth Center contractor, and the Artist. The tiles were completed in April and the Artist was prepared for installation in May of 2003. However, the Artist did not have the necessary licenses, qualifications and permits required for installation. Based upon several meetings with the Artist it became clear that the Artist would not be able to obtain the necessary licenses, qualifications and permits as she is not a licensed contractor and is unfamiliar with construction law and requirements of the Florida Building Code. As such, the Administration determined that it would be in the City's best interest, and that of the project, to proceed with a Job Order Contractor (JOC) to complete the tile installation. The CIP Office secured the services of Carivon Construction through the JOC process and determined that an additional $31,940.00 is needed to complete the tile installation. This includes installation, JOC fees, CIP fees, and a 15% contingency. The Artist had not factored these additional costs into the original budget proposal and the completion of the "Circle" installation has been delayed. The City and the Artist have agreed to decrease the remaining balance of up to $38,000.00 by $4,290.00, leaving up to $33,710.00 due to the Artist upon completion. The $4,290.00 is the amount the Artist has certified to the City was originally budgeted for installation by the Artist. The $4,290.00 will be used to fund the installation of the tiles, leaving a balance of $27,650.00 that needs to be appropriated to complete the installation. By contract, the Artist is still required to supervise installation and provide the original maquette and the final conservation documents of the project, to be catalogued in the City's public art collection. City Commission Memorandum September 10, 2003 North Shore Park Youth Center AiPP Page 3 of 3 Finally, due to the circumstances described above, it is recommended that the administration of the Artist's agreement be transferred from the Department of Tourism and Cultural Development to the Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) Office in order to complete the public art installation within the time frame of the completion of the North Shore Park Youth Center. In order to avoid similar construction issues and artwork installation coordination in the future, AiPP guidelines have been drafted which will include construction and AiPP artwork installation coordination. This matter was reviewed and approved by the Art in Public Places Committee at their September 16, 2003 meeting. CONCLUSION: The Administration recommends the City Commission appropriate funding in the amount of $27,650.00 from Art in Public Places Fund 147, for additional expenditures required to complete the "Circle" installation.
