Agreement with Gordon Huether+Partners,Inc for Final Design
and Commission of Public Artwork for South Patrol Division 23 of 35
Exhibit A: Approved Preliminary Design
Narrative
This work is entitled Vision,a name which evokes the ideas of clarity,transparency,awareness,and reflection that are
essential to effective police enforcement today. A police force and the community it serves must engage in open and
productive dialog,where varying points of view and objectives can be seen and recognized. Vision resonates with these
ideas through the powers of abstraction and beauty.
A unique"basket"lifts the sphere from the sculpture's base and holds it aloft. The basket will be made of steel plates with
a blue finish and will be spaced around the base of the sphere to create the illusion of buoyancy and obscure the engineered
support structure underneath.The basket emerges from a commanding plinth where the name of the Fort Worth Police
Department South Patrol Division will be prominently applied or inscribed. The mirrored-finished stainless steel sphere
remains as an eye catching and timeless representation and reflection of the entire Forth Worth community and the people
who serve it. The concepts of dignity and honor remain inherent to this installation and are expressed in a modern,bold,
and iconic manner that will engage and excite viewers.
The dimensions of Vision remain monumental,with the anticipated diameter of the sphere at approximately seven feet.
It will be"held aloft"by approximately 36 sculptural fins,and the concrete plinth will be approximately 20 feet in
diameter. The artwork will be integrated into the gently sloping landscape of the site in a manner which fully takes
advantage of its height. This installation will be a welcoming and welcomed addition to the city of Forth Worth and its
message of vision will inspire current citizens and generations to come.

Fabrication, Delivery, Installation and Contingencies for Artwork at the South Patrol

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Final Design and Commission Contract
Gordon Huether+ Partners, Inc, in an Amount up to $268,578.00 for Final Design, Fabrication, Delivery,
Installation and Contingencies for Artwork at the South Patrol Division, 8800 McCart Avenue, 76123.
DISCUSSION:
Gordon Huether's design features a large stainless-steel sphere, approximately seven (7)feet in diameter,
supported by blue metal fins. The sculpture serves as a metaphor for the officers in blue supporting the
community, while the mirror-finished sphere literally reflects that community and the officers as a part of it.
Commanding yet welcoming, the piece is imagined as a bridge between the two and makes them one. The
work will be located near the corner of the site on a low circular plinth that will include the facility name,
"South Patrol Division". Technical details will be designed under the Final Design portion of the proposed
contract.
During Mr. Huether's micro-residency with the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) during the summer of
2020, he learned that one of the officers' main goals is to be recognized as members of the community, and
that the Fort Worth Police Department is actively working to strengthen its relationship to the community.
The design is the result of input from the Fort Worth Police Department, the Project Core Team of community
stakeholders and members of the Fort Worth Art Commission.
Fort Worth Art Commission (FWAC) Action: On July 19, 2021, the FWAC approved th Revised
Preliminary Design and recommended that the artist be placed under a Final Design and Commission
Agreement.
Funding for the project has been allocated from the 2018 Bond Program as part of the Public Art Plan for the
2018 Bond Program, adopted by the Fort Worth City Council on October 16, 2018 (M&C G-1 401). The
project was included in the Fort Worth Public Art Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Work Plan, adopted y the Fort
Worth City Council September 22, 2020 (M&C 20-0678).
Artist shall require their subcontractors to pull all permits required for this project, however, this City shall
waive any fees for these permits as this project is funded by City Bond funds.
Annual maintenance on this project is anticipated to be $3,000.00.
