MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Chris Ball, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: 06/01/2022 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Recommended Artwork and Award Agreement for the
Moorpark Station North Parking Lot Public Art Project
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider the recommendation of the Arts Commission
for the artwork to be installed at the Moorpark Station North Parking Lot and award an
Agreement to the artist, James Eric Powell (Eric Powell), for the design, fabrication, and
installation of the artwork.
BACKGROUND
Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 17.50 establishes the City’s Art in Public Places (AIPP)
program, with the goal of balancing the community’s physical growth with revitalization
and its cultural and artistic resources. This program requires certain residential,
commercial, and industrial development projects to either install public artwork or pay an
in-lieu fee. In-lieu fees are collected and maintained in the AIPP Fund for use exclusively
for the AIPP program. The Arts Commission is tasked with reviewing proposed AIPP
projects and providing recommendations to City Council regarding site locations and
conceptual design of proposed artwork.
In February of 2017, the Arts Commission recommended the Moorpark train station north
parking lot located at 300 East High Street (the “Project Site”) as the location for a new
AIPP art installation, to be coordinated with the planned Metrolink North Parking Lot
Expansion project. Potential locations for artwork were identified along a new pedestrian
walkway crossing the parking lot and connecting the train station to High Street. The
artwork would help to establish a formal pedestrian entry to the station and add cultural
interest to the downtown area.

In June of 2018 the City Council approved the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) for Fiscal Years (FY) 2017/18–2024/25 and the Operating and Capital
Improvements Budget for FY 2018/19, which added the Moorpark Station North Parking
Lot Public Art Project (CIP #C0052) to the City’s CIP project listing and allocated $200,000
from the AIPP Fund (Fund 2007) for the project. It was anticipated that the artist selection
process would begin later that year, however the project was put on hold pending
commencement of the Metrolink North Parking Lot Expansion project (CIP #C0032). A
contract for the construction of CIP #C0032 was eventually awarded in November of 2021
after it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and work started in early 2022.
In January of 2022, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was released for the Moorpark
Station North Parking Lot Public Art Project. The RFQ sought proposals from artists for
the design, fabrication, and installation of artwork at the Project Site. The RFQ did not
prescribe any specific artistic style/structure for the artwork, allowing artists to propose
concepts that meet the goals of the project without being limited to a specific type of
feature. It was envisioned that the overall design would serve as a welcoming gateway
when approached from either High Street or the train station. It was also noted that the
artwork should celebrate the history and cultural significance of the railroad for the
Moorpark community while respecting the small-town character of Old Town Moorpark.
Additional goals, as stated in the RFQ, included:
The artwork should be engaging and aesthetically pleasing to individuals of all
ages and backgrounds.
The artwork should be a significant addition to the City’s public art collection and
grow Moorpark’s reputation as a city that values and supports the arts.
The artwork should be fabricated from durable, low maintenance materials that
can withstand the outdoor elements and require minimal maintenance.
A total of nine applications were received by the February 9th submittal deadline.
For this public art project staff looked to the City’s recently adopted Arts Master Plan for
recommendations on how to update the artist selection process in line with current best
practices in the public art field. Among the implemented recommendations was refining
the RFQ process such that the initial application review focused primarily on the artist’s
qualifications and body of work. Based on the strength of the applications, up to three
semi-finalists would be invited to develop preliminary artwork proposals. Semi-finalists
would be given approximately four weeks to prepare their proposals and provided a
stipend in the amount of $750 following presentation of the proposals to the artist selection
panel. This process follows the recommendations in the Master Plan, which notes “it is
a basic tenant within public art programs that professional artists are paid for the
development of proposals.”
Another recommendation drawn from the Master Plan involved updating the selection
process for City-sponsored public art projects. Currently there is no formal artist selection
process for such projects, and the Arts Commission has served as the selection
committee for the last few projects: reviewing applicants and forwarding an artist
147

recommendation directly to the City Council for consideration. The Master Plan, however,
observes that best practice involves the creation of a diverse, project-specific selection
panel comprised of art and design professionals and appropriate project stakeholders,
thus incorporating both professional and community perspectives into the selection
process. This process of using a temporary selection or advisory committee to inform
City decision-making is also consistent with current City practice on other projects and
endeavors (for example, the General Plan Advisory Committee). For the Moorpark
Station public art project, it was envisioned that the selection panel would include
members of the Arts Commission as well as a representative from the design firm working
on the parking lot expansion project, a representative from the City’s Public Transit
Division, and a representative from the High Street business community. Such a panel
would fulfill the recommendation of the Master Plan by incorporating the represented arts
expertise of the Arts Commission with related professional and community perspectives.
On March 7th the Arts Commission held a special meeting during which it endorsed the
formation of an artist selection panel for the project (the Panel) and selected
Commissioner Tania De Haz and Commissioner Kim Simons to participate. The
remainder of the Panel was comprised of Gregg Denson, the parking lot expansion
project’s landscape architect from Architerra Design Group; Shaun Kroes, City’s Public
Works Manager and project manager for the parking lot expansion project; and Tricia
Shields, a High Street business representative and co-owner of Lucky Fools Pub.
DISCUSSION
The Panel met twice during the artist selection process. The first meeting was on
March 22nd to review the submitted applications and identify three semi-finalists for the
project. The three semi-finalists were given one month to develop preliminary artwork
proposals. Proposals were presented to the Panel on April 25th in person at the Moorpark
Community Center. Each artist presented preliminary renderings, site plans, and other
details about the proposed artwork such as anticipated work schedule and maintenance
requirements. After considering all of the artist presentations, the consensus of the Panel
was to recommend the proposal titled “Moorpark Orchard” by artist Eric Powell.
“Moorpark Orchard” is comprised of eight unique tree-like sculptures, each with its own
character and sensibility. On each tree ‘grows’ fruit common to Moorpark’s farms such
as apricots, oranges, and other produce, as well as industrial elements related to the
site’s heritage such as train wheels, tracks, railroad spikes, and tools. Additional
historically significant imagery like the egg and the apricot blossom can also be found
incorporated into the designs of individual trees. By interweaving natural and human
elements, the trees celebrate Moorpark’s agricultural and industrial heritage and their
inter-relationship in an uplifting and universally appealing way. The trees themselves are
inspired by the “tree of life,” a concept common to all cultures. Each sculpture is
constructed of steel and stands approximately 10 feet tall. The steel is treated to evoke
a weathered, industrial feel, with elements of each tree painted to draw attention, enhance
and enliven the installations. It was also noted by the Panel that the weathered steel
construction would align well with the industrial aesthetic of the new bus shelter that will
148

be on High Street adjacent to the artwork. Eric Powell’s presentation slides are included
as Attachment 1 for reference.
On May 17th the Arts Commission unanimously supported the recommendation of the
Panel and voted to forward the recommendation to the City Council for consideration.
Staff concurs with the Arts Commission recommendation of “Moorpark Orchard” by Eric
Powell. The proposed artwork meets the goals of the project, providing a significant art
installation constructed of durable, treated, and weatherproofed steel which would
withstand outdoor elements and require minimal maintenance. Although lighting
elements were not specifically incorporated into the preliminary design, during his
presentation Mr. Powell indicated that lighting could be incorporated into the final design
based upon electrical access at the completed project site.
The City Council is now asked to consider “Moorpark Orchard” by Eric Powell as the
artwork for the Moorpark Station North Parking Lot Public Art Project and approve an
Agreement with the artist for the design, fabrication, and installation of the artwork.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the Agreement with Eric Powell for the design, fabrication and installation
of the artwork is $175,000. Funding in the amount of $200,000 from the AIPP Fund (Fund
2007) is included in the adopted FY 2021/22 budget for CIP #C0052. No additional
appropriation is needed at this time.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action is consistent with City Council Goal 3, Objective 3.13: “Develop an RFP and
contract with an artist to construct artwork at the Metrolink north parking lot.”
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve “Moorpark Orchard” by Eric Powell as the artwork for the Moorpark
Station North Parking Lot Public Art Project; and
2. Approve Agreement with James Eric Powell for an amount not-to-exceed
$175,000, and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement, subject to final
language approval by the City Manager, and authorize the City Manager to
approve additional work not-to-exceed 10% of the amount of the Agreement.

City of Moorpark, Public Art: Moorpark Station North Parking Lot
Preliminary Proposal
‘Moorpark Orchard’
Dear Moorpark Artist Selection Committee,
Thank you for selecting me as a finalist for the Moorpark Station public art project!
I propose to create up to eight sculptures that evoke and conjure a ‘magical orchard’ for
the walkway area of the station parking lot, called Moorpark Orchard.
The orchard is comprised of up to eight ‘tree’ sculptures. Each sculpture is unique with
its own character and sensibility. On each tree ‘grows’ fruit common to Moorpark’s
farms such as apricots, oranges, lemons and other produce; on each tree also grows
train wheels, tracks, spikes, and tools. The trees celebrate Moorpark’s agricultural and
industrial heritage and their inter-relationship, in an uplifting and universally appealing
way.
My vision is to create artworks that enhance, enliven and magnetize Moorpark station
parking lot, which is the gateway to the station. The work will create a strong sense of
‘place’ and destination that make people feel more connected to and familiar with the
station, giving them an inviting experience of the station. The artwork will celebrate the
timeless and enduring story of Moorpark’s history as a quintessential California
agrarian town. These are the ideas and concepts that will inform my vision for the
artwork.
Moorpark has evolved from an agricultural-based culture and economy to the
introduction of the railroad and industry and the modernization that it ultimately brought
with it. I appreciate and fully agree with the vision of retaining the ‘country charm and
agrarian qualities that are the roots of Moorpark’s history’. This is the best way, in my
opinion, to preserve the unique character of the town. And I believe the artwork that I
am proposing expresses that quality and character.
187
ERIC POWELL

415.407.5060 | eric@ericpowell.com | www.ericpowell.com
At the same time, the new station has a modern look and the vision of the artwork
needs to keep this in consideration as well. I will approach the design/concept process
in a way that integrates the historical with the modern sensibilities of Moorpark into one,
integrated series of artworks that bring an individual mark and identity to the new train
station.
Regarding the placement of the sculptures and the access to electricity and lighting: I
look forward to discussing these!
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to working with you!
Best regards,
Eric Powell

Preliminary schedule and progress and completion of the work:
Week 1: Execution of agreement.
Week 2: Artist will produce shop drawings for fabrication process and receive stamped,
approved drawings from the engineer.
Weeks 3-6: Artist will order materials and begin fabrication of artwork.
Weeks 6-12: Artist will continue on fabrication including cutting, welding, grinding,
sanding the steel material.
Weeks 12-16: Completion phase of the project includes preparing the plates for the
footings, final surface finishing on the sculptures, and priming and painting the
sculptures.
Maintenance:
Normal maintenance involves cleaning the artwork with mild household soap and warm water,
with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Clean afterwards with water. Clean as needed.
Artist will provide all applicable information on the paint type and paint colors for possible future
touchup.
Installation plan:
1) Design installation plan; the plan involves footings and attachment method for the sculptures.
The footings will be pre-poured to artist’s specifications. The footing design will include an
eighteen-inch steel plate with four J-bolts that are embedded into the footing when poured. The
sculpture will have a steel plate of the same size (18”x18”x3/4”) that will be bolted at four points
to the embedded steel plate. The base of the sculpture will have buttresses as needed, welded
to the steel base plate. This will create an extremely strong and stable structure.
The ‘trunk’ of the tree sculpture will have a steel plate welded in a ‘T’ shape running up the
entire length for support and structural strength.
2) Receive approval from certified engineer for installation plan.
3) Coordinate with concrete contractor for pouring concrete footings.
4) Install sculptures. This involves lifting each sculpture into place (likely using a small scissor lift
or similar equipment) and bolting the sculptures down to the threaded rods of the footings,
ensuring that they are level and plumb.

EXHIBIT A
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Agreement, A rtist will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Artist will use existing
coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the
requirements set forth here, it will be amended to do so. A rtist acknowledges that the
insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum
amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the
limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss,
will be available to City.
Artist shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office
“Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the equivalent. Defense
costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion
for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits shall be no less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $2,000,000
general aggregate.
Artist’s policy shall contain no endorsements limiting coverage beyond the basic policy
coverage grant for any of the following:
• Explosion, collapse or underground hazard (XCU)
• Products and completed operations
• Contractual liability
2. Artist shall provide Worker’s Compensation insurance on a State of California
approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with
employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or disease. A
Worker’s Compensation Insurance Certificate shall be filed with the City before
beginning work, unless Artist signs a written certification that Artist is aware of the
provisions of California Labor Code Section 3700 et seq., which requires every
employer to be insured against liability for Worker’s Compensation, and that no
one other than Artist, or a legal subcontractor, will perform any services under this
Agreement.
In the event the Worker’s Compensation Insurance submitted by the A rtist
becomes inoperative any time before the completion of the work, all work shall
immediately cease until a new policy is obtained and any time so lost shall not
entitle the Artist to any extension of time. Certificates shall unequivocally provide
14 204
at least thirty (30) days written notice by certified mail to the C ity prior to
cancellation or modification.
In lieu of the above, the Artist may provide certification to the City on a form to be
provided by the City that there are no employees other than the A rtist engaged in
the project.
3. Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 06 92
including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits shall be no less than
$1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. If A rtist owns no vehicles, this
requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general
liability policy described above. If Artist’s employees will use personal autos in any
way on this project, Artist shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage
for each such person.
4. Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the
underlying coverages. Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability
policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a
maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but
covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis,
with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. There shall be no cross
liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against
another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Artist,
subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is
subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required
herein. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence and aggregate.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers
that are admitted carriers in the state of California and with an A.M. Best rating of
A- or better and a minimum financial size VII.
Artist and City agree as follows:
1. Artist agrees to endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein
to include as additional insured City, its officials, employees and agents, using
standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 (ongoing operations) and No. CG 2037
(completed operations) with edition acceptable to the City. Artist also agrees to
require all contractors, subcontractors, and anyone else involved in any way with
the project contemplated by this Agreement to do likewise.
2. Any waiver of subrogation express or implied on the part of City to any party
involved in this Agreement or related documents applies only to the extent of
insurance proceeds actually paid. City, having required that it be named as an
additional insured to all insurance coverage required herein, expressly retains the
right to subrogate against any party for sums not paid by insurance. For its part,
15 205
Artist agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability
of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors, subcontractors or others
involved in any way with the project(s) contemplated by this agreement, to do
likewise.
3. All insurance coverage maintained or procured by Artist or required of others by
Artist pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation
condition as to City, or to specifically allow Artist or others providing insurance
herein to waive subrogation prior to a loss. This endorsement shall be obtained
regardless of existing policy wording that may appear to allow such waivers.
4. It is agreed by Artist and City that insurance provided pursuant to these
requirements is not intended by any party to be limited to providing coverage for
the vicarious liability of City or to the supervisory role, if any, of City. All insurance
coverage provided pursuant to this or any other agreement (express or implied) in
any way relating to City is intended to apply to the full extent of the policies
involved. Nothing referred to here or contained in any agreement involving C ity in
relation to the project(s) contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be
construed to limit the application of insurance coverage in any way.
5. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Artist shall not make any
reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction
of discovery period) which may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written
consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requiremen ts, consisting of binders of
coverage, or endorsements, or certificates of insurance, at the option of City, shall
be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such
proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance
is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, C ity has the
right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its
interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium
so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Artist or deducted from
sums due Artist, at City option.
8. Artist agrees to endorse, and to require others to endorse, the insurance provided
pursuant to these requirements, to requ ire thirty (30) days notice to City and the
appropriate tender prior to cancellation of such liability coverage and notice of any
material alteration or non-renewal of any such coverage, and to require
contractors, subcontractors, and any other party in an y way involved with the
project contemplated by this agreement to do likewise.
16 206
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Artist or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and
on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self
insurance available to City.
10. Artist agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the
project that is brought onto or involved in the project by A rtist, provide the same
minimum insurance coverage required of Artist. Artist agrees to monitor and review
all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage
is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. A rtist agrees that
upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the
project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Artist agrees that all layers of third party liability coverage required herein, primary,
umbrella and excess, will have the same starting and expiration date. A rtist agrees
further that all other third party coverages required herein will likewise have
concurrent starting and ending dates.
12. Artist agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles
on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not
allow any contractor, subcontractor, architect, engineer or other entity or person in
any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this
agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Artist’s existing coverage includes
a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must
be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Artist,
which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self -insured
retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
13. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the A rtist ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Artist, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to City.
14. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, all contracts pertaining to the
project will be deemed to be executed when finalized and any activity commences
in furtherance of performance under this agreement.
15. Artist acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of
City to inform Artist of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way
imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder
in this or any other regard.
16. Artist will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees
or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
17 207
agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or
terminated for any reason. The insurance shall include but not be limited to
products and completed operations and discontinued operations, where
applicable. Termination of this obligation is effective upon issuance of a Notice of
Completion by the City.
17. Artist agrees to waive its statutory immunity under any workers’ compensation
statute or similar statute, in relation to the City, and to require all subcontractors
and any other person or entity involved in the project contemplated by this
Agreement to do likewise.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitations on o ther
requirements or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given
policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification
only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to
be all-inclusive.

Preliminary schedule and progress and completion of the work:
Week 1: Execution of agreement.
Week 2: Artist will produce shop drawings for fabrication process and receive stamped,
approved drawings from the engineer.
Weeks 3-6: Artist will order materials and begin fabrication of artwork.
Weeks 6-12: Artist will continue on fabrication including cutting, welding, grinding,
sanding the steel material.
Weeks 12-16: Completion phase of the project includes preparing the plates for the
footings, final surface finishing on the sculptures, and priming and painting the
sculptures.
Maintenance:
Normal maintenance involves cleaning the artwork with mild household soap and warm water,
with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Clean afterwards with water. Clean as needed.
Artist will provide all applicable information on the paint type and paint colors for possible future
touchup.
Installation plan:
1) Design installation plan; the plan involves footings and attachment method for the sculptures.
The footings will be pre-poured to artist’s specifications. The footing design will include an
eighteen-inch steel plate with four J-bolts that are embedded into the footing when poured. The
sculpture will have a steel plate of the same size (18”x18”x3/4”) that will be bolted at four points
to the embedded steel plate. The base of the sculpture will have buttresses as needed, welded
to the steel base plate. This will create an extremely strong and stable structure.
The ‘trunk’ of the tree sculpture will have a steel plate welded in a ‘T’ shape running up the
entire length for support and structural strength.
2) Receive approval from certified engineer for installation plan.
3) Coordinate with concrete contractor for pouring concrete footings.
4) Install sculptures. This involves lifting each sculpture into place (likely using a small scissor lift
or similar equipment) and bolting the sculptures down to the threaded rods of the footings,
ensuring that they are level and plumb.
