ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the resolution.
FUNDING:
Estimated cost: $85,000. Funds are available in the City Hall Renovation account.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the continuing renovation of City Hall, the Administration requested designs from
Gambach-Sklar Architects Inc. and also from artist Carlos Alves for the installation of floor tiles at
the first floor lobby and the elevator entrance to the building. Several designs were developed and
presented to the Art in Public Places Committee. The Committee recommended selection of one of
the designs from Carlos Alves for the project. A preliminary drawing of the proposed design is
attached. Upon authorization by the City Commission, the Administration will proceed to negotiate
a contract with Mr. Alves. Construction time is expected to last four to five months.
ANAL YSIS:
The proposed installation by Mr. Alves generally consists of a floor tile mosaic pattern with a
starburst theme and other complementary features. The material to be used is colored ceramic floor
tile which will be cut by the artist to create the desired pattern. The estimated cost is $85,000 for
the design, materials, and installation of this project. As a point of reference, a single color marble
tile installation is estimated at $60,000 and vinyl floor tile is estimated at $10,000.
CONCLUSION:
The City Commission should authorize the Administration to negotiate a contract with artist Carlos
Alves for the design, materials, and installation of floor tile in the first floor lobby of City Hall.
