ADJOURNMENT: MOORPARK ARTS COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT To: The Moorpark Arts Commission From: Hugh Riley, Assistant City Manager Date: April 26, 2011 (Special Meeting of ay 3, 2011) Subject: Consider Applications for Public Art Work at the Ruben Castro Human Services Center BACKGROUND On February 15, the Commission reviewed and discussed the proposed Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Public Art Work at the Ruben Castro Human Services Center. On March 2, the City Council approved the RFQ and authorized the proposal review process as contained in the Council Agenda Report. The overall design principles for the artwork, as recommended by the Arts Commission and approved by the City Council are: • The theme "Family" is desirable, but the art is not limited to this concept. • The art style is not limited or designated and may be historical, traditional or contemporary. • The art may be of mediums including but not limited to metals, concrete, rock or paint. • While the Human Services Center is named after the individual Ruben Castro, the art should not be an individual likeness of him. • No water feature will be considered. The facility site plan was included with the RFQ along with several pictorial views of the buildings. While an ideal site for the artwork is the circular courtyard opening to the southeast, other options for artwork sites include the corridor between Buildings A and B and the northwest and north-east corners of the building site. The proposed timeline for the selection process is as follows: March 7, 2011 RFQ released April 22, 2011 Application deadline April — May 2011 Short-listing and final selection of one artist July 2011 Agreement execution August— September 2011 Design concept October 2011 - January 2012 Fabrication and installation phases (may be extended as approved) January 2012 Completion (to be unveiled at the Building's Grand Opening) 1 Arts Commission May 3, 2011 Page2 DISCUSSION Staff received and processed a total of forty-six (46) responses to the RFQ of which six were considered non-responsive as the applicants did not comply with the RFQ submittal requirements. The remaining submittals including CD's with digital images have been numbered in the order received and bound in a three-ring binder to facilitate review by the Commission members. Staff suggests that each commissioner review the submittals at home or arrange time at City Offices to review the material. Each commissioner may identify by number, six to ten artists that they wish to recommend for the "Short List" Commissioners should then provide their completed "Short List Ballot" to staff by Friday, May 15, 2011. A decision on the final "Short List" can then be made at the Commission's regular meeting of May 17, 2011. When the "Short List" is finalized the artists making the list can be invited to submit actual ideas for the proposed art work for consideration by the Commission at a special meeting to be announced. The Commission may wish to modify the timing and requirements for this phase of the selection process in the event there is a request for a financial stipend to the submitting artists. Staff recommends that at least three artists be identified as finalists with the winning artist recommended to the City Council for final approval in June or July. The materials submitted will be provided to the commission at the meeting on May 3 or commissioners may pick them up at City Offices after Friday, April 29. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Receive materials for review and discuss details of selection process. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Request for Qualifications 2. Short List of Artists Ballot 3.
