EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I In connection with the Civic Center Parking Structure project,staff and the Art in Public Places("APP") Board have proposed to use$51,844 for artist design fees,project contingency,and to create and install the terrazzo floors,stair treads and landings. The City will contract with the building contractor,Hensel Phelps Construction to install the work and the artist,David Griggs,to oversee the installation. The rustic terrazzo floor will incorporate designs of various modes of transportation,which will differ from floor to floor. Represented will be tracks left by a bicycle,car and a train. Included in the design are animal tracks, which will represent playful additions to the transportation tracks and will lead the pedestrian traffic up the staircases to the next floor. David Griggs was the APP Design Consultant on the project who worked as part of the parking structure design team. The APP Board members reviewed artful opportunities for the parking structure and focused David Griggs on creating designs for terrazzo floors on the second,third and fourth floors for the main pedestrian tower of the parking structure. The APP Board members voted unanimously at the January 20, 1999, Board meeting to proceed with the terrazzo floor art. The APP Board is currently reviewing additional art opportunities for the Civic Center project that include the public right of way, City Administration Building and Transit Center. The illustrations of the proposed work of art are attached as Attachments "A", 'B", & "C". The final work may vary from these conceptual illustrations :a3awnN W311 :31Va .
