LOG NAME: 03EAST REGIONAL LIBRARY PUBLIC ART IMPLEMENTATION
SUBJECT
(CD 4) Authorize Execution of an Artwork Implementation Agreement with GMK Steel Buildings LLC for a Sculptural Installation Titled Wildflower
Designed by FYOOG LLC for the East Regional Library Project, 6301 Bridge Street, 76112, in an Amount of $103,600.00 for Fabrication,
Delivery, Installation and Contingencies
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an artwork implementation agreement with GMK Steel Buildings LLC for a
sculptural installation titled Wildflower designed by FYOOG LLC for the East Regional Library project, 6301 Bridge Street, 76112, in an amount of
$103,600.00 for fabrication, delivery, installation and contingencies.
DISCUSSION:
On March 2, 2021, City Council authorized the execution of an Artwork Commission Contract with FYOOG LLC to fabricate and installation a
sculptural installation titled Wildflower for the East Regional Library (M&C 21-0136). During subsequent contract negotiations, FYOOG LLC stated
that they did not have the capacity to undertake this contract at this time. The artists instead recommended that the City directly contract with
company that would have been their subcontractor, GMK Steel Buildings LLC, as they have a long working relationship and trust that their vision
will be implemented according to their design. The purpose of this M&C is to authorize an artwork implementation contract with GMK Steel
Buildings LLC so that the artwork may be fabricated and installed as soon as possible.
Fort Worth Art Commission (FWAC) Recent Actions:
On December 14, 2020, the FWAC approved the artists' final design, with revisions that address previously unknown site conditions.
On August 16, 2021, the FWAC recommended that design artist team FYOOG LLC's designee, GMK Steel Buildings LLC, be contracted to
implement the design.
The project is included in the Fort Worth Public Art Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Work Plan, adopted by the Fort Worth City Council on September
22, 2020 (M&C 20-0678).
All permits required for this project shall be obtained, however, the 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 $1,800.00.
