Agreement Amendment for Sculpture Design and Installation — <br />Flower Street Bike Trail Gap Closure <br />October 21, 2014 <br />Page 2 <br />Authorized vs. Actual Expenditures <br />With the exception of the art sculpture work, this project is fully completed. The construction <br />expenditures for the entire project to date, including contract work and executed change orders, <br />are $911,574. Staff is recommending a construction contract change order with Green Giant <br />Landscape, Inc., in the estimated amount of $87,153, to cover contractor and artist costs to <br />design, fabricate, and install the sculpture (Exhibit 2). The change order cost, which includes the <br />proposed artwork and all related expenditures, is completely within the framework of the existing <br />contract and contingency. No additional expenditure authorizations are being sought and no <br />additional funds are being requested. The project funding is summarized as follows: <br />EXPENDITURES <br />Construction Contract <br />Contingency <br />Contract <br />Cost Credits <br />Cost Extras <br />SUBTOTAL <br />RECOMMENDED ADDENDUM <br />Art Sculpture Change Order <br />TOTALS <br />Artwork Selection and Concept <br />AUTHORIZED <br />$ 968,500.00 <br />$ 145,275.00 <br />$1,113,775.00 <br />ACTUAL <br />Recommended <br />$ 968,500.00 <br /><$102,734.00> <br />$ 45,807.98 <br />$ 911,573.98 <br />$ 87,153.00 <br />$ 998,726.98 <br />The City received a grant to help build a half -mile of bike trail on the flood control channel property <br />that runs along Flower Street from MacArthur to Sunflower. The grant includes $80,000 for the <br />installation of a public art project on the northeast corner of Flower Street and Sunflower Avenue. <br />Since the property in this area was once owned and farmed by a Japanese- American farmer who <br />greatly contributed to the growth and prosperity of this region, the artwork will commemorate the <br />important role of the Japanese- American immigrant agricultural community in Santa Ana. <br />Last spring, the City partnered with Arts OC and issued a call for artist proposals for this public art <br />project. Forty -six applications were received. A panel of three art experts working with Arts OC <br />selected five finalists and asked them to submit renderings and proposals. The five artists <br />presented their concepts and the committee judged the proposals based on experience, <br />presentation, concept, and resistance to vandalism. After this process was completed, the selection <br />committee recommended an untitled piece by artist Richard Turner. <br />23AA -2 <br />
