AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH SWT DESIGN, INC. FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATED TO SHAW PARK NORTH
City Manager Owens reported that at the April 14, 2015, Board of Aldermen meeting a pledge agreement was approved by the Board between the Barry-Wehmiller Group, Inc. /Chapman Family Foundation/Robert H. Chapman (the “donor”), the Clayton Century Foundation (the “Foundation”) and the City of Clayton (the “City”) wherein the donor pledged to pay for the design, construction and maintenance of Shaw Park North, a priority project contained within the Shaw Park Master Plan Overlay. In order to begin work on this project SWT Design has submitted the attached contract (Exhibit A). Selected due to their earlier work on the Shaw Park Master Plan Overlay, they will oversee this project from conception to the completion of construction.
AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A LOAN AGREEMENT WITH THE GATEWAY FOUNDATION FOR ARTWORK ENTITLED “ONE OF US ON A TRICYCLE”
City Manager Owens reported that at the April 27, 2015, meeting, the Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of Aldermen that it accept a sculpture entitled “One of Us on a Tricycle” by Steven Gregory for loan from the Gateway Foundation. The sculpture is proposed to be located on the northeast entry to Treetop Playground in Shaw Park (Exhibit B). The Parks & Recreation Commission discussed this at their January 5, 2015, meeting and voted 5 to 2 in favor of the placement of the piece at this location.

The loan is at no cost to the City, and the Foundation agrees to install, maintain, preserve, and insure the sculpture at its sole expense. Either party may terminate the agreement with 90-days written notice. As long as the sculpture remains in place for at least one year, removal would be at the expense of the Foundation; otherwise, it would be the City’s expense. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance, authorizing the agreement. In response to the Board’s questions, Patty DeForrest explained that the art placement will be located east of the entrance to the inclusion playground. She noted that other locations were suggested, but would not work out mostly due to safety reasons. She commented also that the sculpture is not intended to be “climable”. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6493, an ordinance to consider approving a loan agreement with the Gateway Foundation for artwork entitled “One of Us on a Tricycle” to be read for the first time by title only.

Selected due to their earlier work on the Shaw Park Master Plan Overlay, they will oversee this project from conception to the completion of construction.

It is anticipated that this project will take between eighteen and twenty-four months to complete. In addition to SWT Design we will be hiring a construction manager to assist with the project. A steering committee will be established to help guide the project through the design phase. This committee will be made up of members of the Parks & Recreation Commission, a representative from CCF, a representative from BWG, and staff. Members of the Board of Aldermen are welcome to attend any and all meetings of the committee. A published schedule will be made available of all public meetings to be held concerning this project. All costs associated with this contract will be paid for by CCF. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing the execution of a contract with SWT Design, Inc. in the amount of Three Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Dollars ($377,000) plus reimbursable expenses up to Seven Thousand and Fifty Dollars ($7,050.00). In response to Alderman Garnholz’s question, Patty DeForrest clarified that the Shaw Park sign will remain and that there will be signage located at the Chapman Plaza. She noted that the signage has not been designed. Gary Feder, Clayton Century Foundation, commented that the primary intent is that just the selected portion (at the corner) of Shaw Park will be known as Chapman Plaza. Alderman Garnholz introduced Bill No. 6494, an ordinance to consider approving a contract with SWT Design, Inc. to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Winings seconded.
