City of Fort Collins
Art in Public Places Program
Request for Proposals (P-828)
The City of Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program seeks to commission an artist to be added to the
design team on this project. This artist will create artwork for the future Second Sheet of Ice at the
Edora Pool and Ice Center (EPIC.)
Background
The City of Fort Collins voters, in 1997, approved Ordinance No. 31, 1997, which provided for a
Studio Ice Rink at EPIC as part of the Building Community Choices (BCC) capital improvements
program. This project will create an additional ice rink at the EPIC facility. The Recreation Department
would like to incorporate artwork into the interior of this building. Opportunities for art at this site could
include; floor, ceiling or wall treatments, an artistic gateway to the new entrance, and decorative
railings. The work should compliment but update the look of the current facility. This project will
be in the design phase from February through the end of June. The facility is scheduled to be open
by January 2003.
This Second Sheet of Ice at EPIC Project includes:
• a full size ice arena with two locker rooms and an auxiliary locker room
• a multi -purpose room and three staging/storage rooms
• a new ice resurfacer room and a refrigeration room
• mezzanine level bleacher seating for 200 people
• an officials room and office
• access from the existing lobby
Project
The APP Selection Committee is seeking to hire an artist who would become a member of the
Second Sheet of Ice at EPIC Project design team. As a collaborative member of the team, the artist
will develop ideas for a theme, materials, location for the artwork and how it could be integrated
into the interior of the ice arena addition. The artist will then follow through with the completion of
the artwork.
Theme — This APP project is centered around the ice arena addition. The artwork could be on the
walls of the arena, integrated into the railings in front of the seating or the seating itself, highlight
the new addition from the lobby and/or be incorporated into the floor or ceiling of the new addition.
The artwork should relate to ice activities.
Safety & Durability — the work is intended to be a permanent addition to the EPIC facility; design
and installation must consider that the work will be located in a public location and subject to the
potential for vandalism.
Site - (see attached map)
The project area is an addition, adjacent to the site of the existing Edora Pool and Ice Center. The
artwork should be located in the interior of the addition.
