Exhibit A: Artwork Design
Artist's narrative: I worked on several design approaches to this public art opportunity, and I kept
coming back to images related to the river. I am fascinated by the wave form, which is an ex-
pression of motion in water and air, or in any liquid or gas, and for that matter we can see the
artifacts of wave motion in many solid objects. So, I played with the wave form until I combined
three waves into the sculpture that is represented here. It was only after I fell in love with this form
that I started to think of a name for it. That only took a moment as it is obvious that the entry to the
First Street Bridge should declare the name of the river over which it is passing. The Trinity wave
sculpture describes visually both the river's flowing nature and its name.

NO
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Artwork Commission
Agreement with Ken Bernstein Art Studio, Inc. in an amount up to $213,800.00 for fabrication,
delivery, and installation of a set of four sculptures on the East First Street Bridge over the West Fork
of the Trinity River, just east of Gateway Park Road.
DISCUSSION:
Under this Artwork Commission Agreement, artist Ken Bernstein (Ken Bernstein Art Studio, Inc.) will
fabricate, deliver and install a set of four abstract stainless steel sculptures titled Trinity. The
Agreement includes contingency funds for additional Texas Department of Transportation installation
requirements or City inspector requirements due to unanticipated site conditions. The sculptures will
be attached to the ends of the concrete railing on the East First Street Bridge LED lights that
gradually shift from blue to green will provide added visual interest at night.
On January 31, 2006, City Council approved a Design Team Contract in the amount of $21,000.00
(M& C C-21283). A Final Design Agreement in the amount of $22,762.00 was executed
administratively. The artist completed a Design Team Agreement, followed by the Final Design
Agreement. Subsequently, construction for the bridge was delayed by Texas Department of
Transportation until March of 2015. Funding in the amount of $213,800 00 from the 2% set aside for
public art in the 2004 Bond Program will address inflation costs of fabrication, delivery and installation
costs since 2006 and provide funds for lighting the sculptures as requested by community
stakeholders and approved by the Fort Worth Art Commission on August 6, 2012.
Funding for this project was recommended in the Long -Range Public Art Plan for the 2004 Bond
Program adopted by City Council on May 17, 2005 (M& C G 14801). This project was included in the
Fort Worth Public Art Program's Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Work Plan and Budget, adopted by the City
Council on October 14, 2014 (M& C C-27031) as part of the City's agreement with the Arts Council of
Fort Worth & Tarrant County, Inc., for administration of the Fort Worth Public Art Program.
Fort Worth Art Commission Action: On August 6, 2012, the Fort Worth Art Commission approved
the Final Design including the addition of lighting as requested by community stakeholders. On
February 16 2015, the Fort Worth Art Commission recommended a budget increase of $24,800.00 to
address cost increases due to inflation since 2006 and for lighting.
