City of Southlake Values: Integrity ♦ Innovation ♦ Accountability ♦ Commitment to Excellence ♦ Teamwork M E M O R A N D U M June 13, 2018 To: Shana K. Yelverton, City Manager From: Chris Tribble, Director of Community Services Subject: Approve final concept and contract with artist Seth Vandable in an amount not to exceed $90,000 for public art to be installed at the White Chapel and Highland Street roundabout Action Requested: City Council to select public art and approve a contract with artist Seth Vandable in an amount not to exceed $90,000 for public art to be installed in the roundabout at White Chapel Boulevard and Highland Street Background Information: Information: As recommended in the Public Art Master Plan, public art is installed in the five (5) roundabouts within the City: Dove Road & Peytonville Ave/Sam School Road White Chapel Blvd. & Continental Blvd. White Chapel Blvd. & Dove Rd. Carroll Ave. & Dove Rd. Brumlow Ave. & Continental Blvd. The Plan also recommends that public art be considered for future roundabouts. A Call to Artists was released in November 2017 to local, regional and national artists requesting proposals for public art to be placed in the City’s sixth roundabout. The Southlake Arts Council specifically requested proposals that would highlight the history of the proposed artwork location, and that would complement the current roundabout sculpture collection. The following historical information was provided in the Call: Historically, the White Chapel and Highland location was known as a camp for travelers heading West in covered wagons. The location is also near Bunker Hill, which settlers used as a lookout point, and near Blossom Prairie. The area was known to have plenty of wood, game, and spring water. 4E - 1 Shana Yelverton, City Manager Meeting Date – June 19, 2018 Page 2 of 3 City of Southlake Values: Integrity ♦ Innovation ♦ Accountability ♦ Commitment to Excellence ♦ Teamwork After the travelers rested, the wagons would line up single file and head west, traveling along a route that would later become Texas 114. In the more recent past, the area has been known for the Milner Award winning cutting horse farm and Ride with Pride. The City received eleven (11) unique responses from the Call. At the January 23, 2018 Arts Council meeting, the artists submissions were reviewed and three (3) artists were selected to provide art concepts for consideration. The artists were Seth Vandable, Janice Hart Melito, and Michael McLaughlin. The three proposals submitted are included in your packet. On April 23, 2018, Southlake Arts Council reviewed finalist concepts and voted (7-0) to select Seth Vandable’s “Prairie Winds” for the roundabout. A condition of the selection was for the artist to provide a modified concept depicting the chicken in motion, which would visually ensure the piece is interesting from all angles. Southlake Arts Council reviewed the revised concept of the “Prairie Winds” sculpture at the May 22, 2018 meeting and approved (5 -0) to recommend the concept for City Council consideration. The moquette clay sculpture of “Prairie Winds” will be available for your review and consideration at the meeting. The sculpture is cast with museum quality bronze, will stand approximately 7 feet tall, and will be mounted on a 3 foot stained concrete base. The proposed contract is the standard Artists Agreement utilized by the City on previous public art sculpture contracts, including the artist contracts for sculptures at DPS North, DPS Headquarters and the other City roundabouts. Included in the cost of $90,000 is the casting of the sculpture and base, delivery and artist consultation for installation. A copy of the proposed contract is attached to the memo for your consideration. If approved, completion of the art work and installation is expected Fall 2019. 4E - 2 Shana Yelverton, City Manager Meeting Date – June 19, 2018 Page 3 of 3 City of Southlake Values: Integrity ♦ Innovation ♦ Accountability ♦ Commitment to Excellence ♦ Teamwork Financial Considerations: Funding in the amount of $90,000 for the design and installation of artwork is provided in the roundabout project budget. Additionally, a $1500 stipend was provided to the 3 finalist selected to provide their complete proposal for Arts Council recommendation and City Council consideration. Strategic Link: Approval of the final concept is linked to the City’s Strategy Map Focus Areas related to Quality Development and Performance Management and Service Delivery and meets the corporate objectives of Collaborate with Select Partners to Implement Service Solutions and Invest to Provide and Maintain High Quality Public Assets. It also is connected to Critical Business Outcome 05, to Improve quality of life through progressive implementation of Southlake’s Comprehensive Plan recommendations.
