Spacing of longhorns inside tunnel: 6' (a bit closer as they fly out) Distance from ceiling to bottom tip of longhorns ranges from 1.5' to 4.5' Color: Daytime: frosted white/Night: All colors available Material: A robust UV-stable type of impact resistant polyethylene used in the commercial tank and roadway barrier industry. Lighting: Waterproof LED lighting will create patterns will shift so slowly, you will not see the color change. However when you come back to the tunnel you will see a different color and pattern. The system is designed for maintenance so that the LED strip can be easily replaced in 6-10 yrs. Hours of Operation: We are expecting the lighting to turn on at dusk and off at dawn. Additional after installation tests will determine if we are able to turn on the lights earlier or run them during the day. If so, it can be run longer, but maintenance will be more often (all dependent on lamp hours). This decision will be made between the City and the Arts Council. Structure: Custom beam clamp assembly connects the artwork to the existing bridge beams. This assembly will allow for tight fighting Wout drilling into beams. • Beam clamps hold connecting pipes that run parallel to the roadway • Custom steel brackets attached to connecting pipes suspend the longhorns and define the tilt. • Post construction survey will be done in order to verify as-built dimensions. Brackets will be fabricated afterwards to conform to the minimum clearance of 16'6"above roadway.

The poles and support"spine"will be painted a dark charcoal color that will allow the supports to visually"recede". • Post construction survey will be done in order to verify as-built dimensions. Horn heights will conform to the minimum roadway clearance requirements. City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE: 05/19/20 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 20-0325 LOG NAME: 03HEMPHILL CONNECTOR PUBLIC ART PROJECT SUBJECT Authorize the Execution of an Artwork Implementation Agreement with Kiboworks,Inc.for a Sculptural Installation Titled"Flight"Designed by Corson Studio LLC(Dan Corson,Artist)for the Hemphill Connector,Located between West Lancaster Avenue and West Vickery Avenue, 76102,in an Amount of$658,846.00 for Fabrication,Delivery, Installation and Contingencies;and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance(COUNCIL DISTRICT 9) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the execution of an Artwork Implementation Agreement with Kiboworks, Inc.in an amount of$658,846.00 for fabrication,delivery, installation,and contingencies for a sculptural installation titled"Flight"designed by Corson Studio LLC(Dan Corson,artist)for the FWPA- Hemphill Connector,located between West Lancaster Avenue and West Vickery Avenue,76102; 2. Find that the use of the funds for public art for this project complies with the voted purpose of the bonds;and 3. Adopt the attached apropriation ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Specially Funded Projects Fund in the amount of $196,571.00 from available funds,for the FWPA-Hemphill Connector Project(City Project No. 102612),for fabrication,delivery,installation and contingencies,as approved by City Council on April 7,2020,as part of the Fiscal Year 2020 Public Art Annual Work Plan(M&C 20- 0204). DISCUSSION: "Flight"celebrates Fort Worth's long aviation history and links the pattern of migrating birds with those of jets in flight formation. Artist Dan Corson translates an icon of Fort Worth—the Texas Longhorn-into a contemporary expression of pattern and movement to enhance the experience of traveling through the new Hemphill Connector. Twenty-eight(28)"longhorn/bird",each 12 feet in width and fabricated of frosted white,robust,UV-stable,impact resistant polyethylene,mounted on five(5)free-standing supports,with the tallest being 35 feet in height,located in the median on the north(Downtown)side of the Connector. In addition,thirty-five(35)"longhom/birds"will be mounted on beams under the 1-30 bridge,of which five(5)will emerge from the south side of the connector. The"longhom/birds"will glow from dusk to dawn with internal LED lights. The color of the lights will shift slowly so as not to be noticed while traveling through the connector. On April 3,2017,artist Dan Corson notified the City of Fort Worth that he was no longer available to continue working on the project and highly recommended Kiboworks, Inc.,to implement his design based upon a successful 10 year working relationship and their expertise with light-based public artworks,including the 21 st century makeover of the New Year's Eve Ball,Times Square,New York City(www.kiboworks.com). Under a Prototype Fabrication Contract,Kiboworks, Inc.,updated Corson's 2015 budget estimates and identified a local metal fabricator and a local art handling company to assist with project implementation who will recieve approximately 60%of the total contract amount for their work. Construction Manager-at-Risk(CMAR)for the Hemphill Connector project,McCarthy,has installed the concrete footings for the free-standing sculpture on the north end of the connector and the electrical service to the sculptures as part of their scope of work,which has been paid directly by the City from the public art project budget(see table below).

On April 13, 2015,the FWAC approved the artist's Revised Final Design,which was later developed based upon a request from project stakeholders to make the component on the north side of the connector appear more like the component on the south side. On December 11,2017,the FWAC recommended that design artist Dan Corson's designee, KiboWorks, Inc.,be contracted to implement his design.On January 14,2019,the FWAC approved the prototype"longhom/bird"element by KiboWorks,Inc.
