Bridge (Bridge), attached to the sidewalk and pedestrian railing of the Bridge. The sculptures will be
made of plate steel and hand -forged elements, and will be approximately eight feet wide and 10 feet
tall, with forged tendrils that extend approximately 11 feet along the Bridge's pedestrian railing.
The project was included in the Public Art Plan for the 2008 Capital Improvement Program. The
budget of $81,473.00, which includes a contingency of $5,060.00, will cover fabrication, delivery, and
installation of the artwork and other costs, including artist's fee. The contingency shall be available
from the 2008 Capital Improvement Projects Fund for any unforeseen changes in fabrication or
installation costs. This project was included in the Fort Worth Public Art Program's Fiscal Year 2013
Annual Work Plan, adopted by the City Council on October 16, 2012 (M&C C-25920) as part of the
City's Agreement with the Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, Inc., for administration of
the Fort Worth Public Art Program.
BACKGROUND:
On June 13, 2013, a selection panel chaired by Council Member Danny Scarth and made up of a Fort
Worth Art Commissioner, design professionals and three community members interviewed three
Artists and selected the Artist to create an original artwork for the new Riverside Drive connection
over Fossil Creek. On July 9, 2013, the Fort Worth Art Commission approved the Artist as the artist
for North Riverside Drive/Fossil Creek Bridge project. On December 28, 2012, the Artist entered into
an artwork design Agreement with the City (City Secretary Contract No. 44001) and worked closely
with the project designers to develop a design and installation plan for the integration of the
sculptures with the Fossil Creek Bridge structure and determination of final artwork dimensions and
submission of a detailed project budget for fabrication and installation. The Artist has made three
presentations to the community throughout the design process and has received positive
feedback. On August 12, 2013, the Fort Worth Art Commission approved the Artist's final design.
The City's overall MBE goal for the Fort Worth Public Art program is 25 percent of the total capital
project dollars expended on public art annually.
