BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Art Advisory Board seeks to use Art in Public Places funds to complete a bike rack project approved by the City Council on August 1, 2012. The original appropriation of $11,550 is not sufficient to complete the project due to higher than anticipated installation costs. This additional work includes demolishing an existing concrete pad and pouring another to complete the project. The existing concrete bike rack does not provide the safety factor for locking bikes needed and therefore it is rarely used. The bike lock down blocks and the concrete around them are a monolithic pour. The existing concrete is thicker than regular sidewalk concrete and will require extra work in removing. The other two bicycle rack installation costs have been verified they will remain in the original estimate by the Arts Liaison and the contractor. One of the three original bike rack sites chosen for the bike rack project was Kofu Park. After the Council selected the three sites, some issues developed at Kofu Park requiring it to close. The bike rack selection was then moved to the library. Nancy Martinez, then Library Director, had previously requested a bike rack at the library so it seemed to be the logical choice for the move. However, the library site had different installation requirements that were not factored into the original budget. The Art in Public Places liaison requested bids from three local concrete contractors for the library project. The lowest bid was from Popuch Concrete Contracting. The estimate of work is included in the Council Communication packet. FISCAL IMPACT: $1,850 from the developer -funded Art in Public Places fund. FUNDING AVAILABLE: $175,724 as of January 31, 2013; Art in Public Places Account No. 1214.
