Design per the Phase II Master Plan will include the addition of public art. The art is to be located on parks grounds (in one or more of the potential sites) and will enrich the connection between the neighborhood park and the rich and diverse surrounding Sunset and Highlands communities. A Call for Artists was released on February 22, 2019 and five artists submitted their portf olios for consideration. A Selection Committee (comprised of City staff, members of the Renton Municipal Arts Commission and stakeholders representing community organizations operating in the Sunset area) reviewed the responses and selected artist, Kirk Seese, to design, fabricate and install the art. The project budget of $250,000 has been set aside for the art in Sunset Park from the density transfer fees collected from Colpitts Development. EXHIBITS: A. Artist Agreement B. Memo to Mayor justification for sole source provider C. Resolution (Sole Source Contract) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contract with artist Kirk Seese for the design, fabrication and installation of the public art component of the Sunset Community Park project and grant the Mayor authority to sign the agreement with the artist and adopt the resolution for sole source contracting. AGENDA ITEM #2. a) AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC ART DESIGN & INSTALLATION IN SUNSET COMMUNITY PARK THIS AGREEMENT, dated July 26, 2019, is by and between the City of Renton (the “City”), a Washington municipal corporation, and Kirk Seese (“Artist”). The City and the Artist are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Parties.” Once fully executed by the Parties, this Agreement is effective as of the last date signed by both parties. 1. Scope of Work: Artist agrees to provide design, fabrication, permitting and installation of a public art for Sunset Community Park as specified in Exhibit A, which is attached and incorporated herein and may hereinafter be referred to as the “Work.” 2. Changes in Scope of Work: The City, without invalidating this Agreement, may order changes to the Work consisting of additions, deletions or modifications. Any such changes to the Work shall be ordered by the City in writing and the Compensation shall be equitably adjusted consistent with the rates set forth in Exhibit A or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties. 3. Time of Performance: Artist shall commence performance of the Agreement pursuant to the schedule(s) set forth in Exhibit A. All Work shall be performed by no later than December 31, 2020. 4. Compensation: A. Amount. Total compensation to Artist for Work provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $250,000, plus any applicable state and local sales taxes. Compensation shall be paid as a flat rate fixed sum based upon Work actually performed according to the rate(s) or amounts specified in Exhibit A. The Artist agrees that any hourly or flat rate charged by it for its Work shall remain locked at the negotiated rate(s) unless otherwise agreed to in writing or provided in Exhibit A. Except as specifically provided herein, the Artist shall be solely responsible for payment of any taxes imposed as a result of the performance and payment of this Agreement. B. Method of Payment. On a monthly or no less than quarterly basis during any quarter in which Work is performed, the Artist shall submit a voucher or invoice in a form specified by the City, including a description of what Work has been performed, the name of the personnel performing such Work, and any hourly labor charge rate for AGENDA ITEM #2. a) PAGE 2 OF 10 such personnel. The Artist shall also submit a final bill upon completion of all Work. Payment shall be made by the City for Work performed within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt and approval by the appropriate City representative of the voucher or invoice.

The City may withhold payment for work that does not meet the requirements of this Agreement. C. Effect of Payment. Payment for any part of the Work shall not constitute a waiver by the City of any remedies it may have against the Artist for failure of the Artist to perform the Work or for any breach of this Agreement by the Artist. D. Non-Appropriation of Funds. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or allocated for payment under this Agreement for any future fiscal period, the City shall not be obligated to make payments for Work or amounts incurred after the end of the current fiscal period, and this Agreement will terminate upon the completion of all remaining Work for which funds are allocated. No penalty or expense shall accrue to the City in the event this provision applies. 5. Termination: A. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause by giving ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Artist in writing.

B. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the City, the Artist shall be entitled to payment for all hours worked to the effective date of termina tion, less all payments previously made. If the Agreement is terminated by the City after partial performance of Work for which the agreed compensation is a fixed fee, the City shall pay the Artist an equitable share of the fixed fee. This provision shall not prevent the City from seeking any legal remedies it may have for the violation or nonperformance of any of the provisions of this Agreement and such charges due to the City shall be deducted from the final payment due the Artist. No payment shall be made by the City for any expenses incurred or work done following the effective date of termination unless authorized in advance in writing by the City. 6.

AGENDA ITEM #2. a) PAGE 10 OF 10 CITY OF RENTON By:_____________________________ ARTIST By:____________________________ Denis Law Mayor Kirk Seese Artist _____________________________ Date _____________________________ Date Attest _____________________________ Jason A. Seth City Clerk Approved as to Legal Form By: __________________________ Shane Moloney Renton City Attorney Contract Template Updated 03/12/2019 AGENDA ITEM #2. a) Additional Questions for Sunset Park Artists – Kirk Seese 1. The piece of art will be maintained by the City of Renton Facilities group, what materials or construction materials do you incorporate into your art piece for ease of maintenance – time, expense, and effort? We use MDO board which is industry standard for exterior sign companies, coated in 2 coats of exterior grade acrylic primer, then the designs are directly printed on using UV inks and a 8 ’ x 10’ flatbed printer. Finally, each piece is completely encapsulated in a hard, clear, UV inhibiting epoxy resin to wi thstand the elements. This process offers 5-10 years at least of a “like new” appearance, before it might need to be recoated to last for decades. 2. Durability and sustainability of art are critical concerns, how do you address sustainability in your art pieces? Only by using only the best, field proven materials, and sound design, do we address sustainability. 3. One of the artist’s responsibilities is conducting site and community research and community engagement. Please speak to your experience effectively engaging the community in the design of your art and/or demonstrate your ability to create community‐inspired public art. I am no stranger to working with the local community while creating public art. My first job out of art school was with the AmeriCorps Vista (Volunteer In Service To America) Program as Director of Urban Arts Pro jects for the Greater Homewood Community Corporation in Baltimore City. There I spent one year engaging Elementary, Middle and High Schools and community groups in the inner ci ty to beautify their schools and buildings using student and community volunteers, like an artist -in-residence. With my facilitation, we successfully completed fifteen murals during my one-year service, relying on local businesses for in-kind donations and sponsorship. After that I spent the next five years teaching art at the Central Career Center at Briscoe High School, a level 5 alternative special education high school also in Baltimore City where my students and I also completed several beautification projects, namely murals, around the interior and exterior of the school. The student body was predominantly African-American including a deaf class. Besides the murals , I taught units on drawing, painting, watercolor, mosaic tile art, portraits in chal k and clay, weaving, pottery, and some Photoshop. Since then I have had a number of college student interns and employees work for my company, BB Murals, and facilitated one day Service Learning Day projects as a part of their Orientation week for the incoming Freshman class at Maryland Institute College of Art and Johns Hopkins University two years in a row. My most favorite mural to date was for Kingman, AZ this past September. The Kingman Mainstreet Group held a national Call to Artists to design an d paint a 60-foot wall which faces historic Route 66. I won the commission and spent 10 incredible days there not only painting but having a great time with the community ! Hiking, flying a small plane, guest starring on a podcast, evenings out for dinner and music! I made some real AGENDA ITEM #2. a) friends there in Kingman that I still keep in touch with. Literally the entire downtown community welcomed me. It was incredible! That’s why I am so drawn to public art. The artwork doesn’t sit in someone’s house, in a museum or tucked away in a storage room in the dark. It’s out there in the world, for all to see, braving the elements, public scrutiny, graffiti and vandalism. It’s shared. It’s forced to survive, becomes part of the landscape. Now that I’m adding public sculpture to my repertoire, the opportunity for even more experiences like Kingman are that much greater. I am looking forward to this year for that very reason, and I hope that Renton, WA will become a partner for a new epic piece of artwork. Som ething I have not even dreamt of yet! Currently I am in the middle of a community mural for the town of Rock Hall, MD. You can speak with Laurie Walters of the Rock Hall Arts Council to confirm my ease with the general public. 443 465-0681, lewalte1@yahoo.com 4. In the Sunset Neighborhood Park Master Plan, public art was identified as a “wayfinding” piece, reflective of the unique character of the community. How do you propose to address these public comments addressing the public art? The Feather, or Feathers are sure to be an instant landmark because of it’s bright colors and tall stature. 5. Engaging and unique art brings identify to a “place” such as a park. How do you intend to provide this unique and engaging identity into the Sunset/Highlands community and Renton? How will your piece of art reflect inclusion of the entire community? The Feather will reflect the entire community because the community will be a part of the design process. Using email and the Adobe Creative Suite of software programs at my disposal, I can turn around concept art in hours, almost real time, for the best in artist/community collaboration. 6. The piece of art will be in the public realm – neighborhood public park – how does your art address security and safety concerns and issues? The Feather is securely fastened by either a 15 foot steel post, 5 feet of that emb edded in the ground surrounded by a concrete footer, or the other style of installation is a 10 foot post with a 16” x 16” x ½” steel plate welded to the base and anchored to the a concrete pad. This method is more than enough to hold not only the weight of the panels, but even if someone decided to try and hang off it. 7. In a park with children, climbing on pieces poses a potential safety concern and risk, as well as, not meeting safety fall requirements. How will this be addressed? AGENDA ITEM #2. a) The panels are in a vertical arrangement which is not especially conducive to climbing. There are rods that travel from one panel, through the post and into the opposite panel so that even if someone did decide to try and climb it, it would not detach from the main post. 8. Whether multiple small art pieces or a single large piece, how does your piece(s) of art relate to the scale of the site (3.1 ac) and area? The park includes now a 1‐story restroom, proposed 1‐story pavilion and pergolas, and a climbing net structure of over 30‐feet in height. Also, future residential scale buildings surrounding the site are scheduled to be 5 to 7 stories. Because The Feather concept is attached to a 2” x 2” tubular steel post, the height can range from 10’ to 20’ and anywhere in between. Taller than most people at 10 feet, it is noticeable from a distance and monumental up close. AGENDA ITEM #2. a) 9. Currently the park features a regional storm water management facility and is proposed to include rain gardens and a decorative mist feature in the second phase. How will your art relate/compliment these water‐related features? These pieces have a stained glass, liquid aesthetic that will surely compliment not only the natural beauty of Sunset Park, but the water elements as well. 10. The design of the park is almost complete with 100% design documents completed pending permitting and final approval. How do you see the art piece being incorporated into the design of the park as designed, and further the coordination and integration of the art piece into the construction of the park? The schedule for the completion of the park is scheduled for May – June 2020. Can you have the piece of art designed, constructed and installed to meet the deadline for the park opening? Yes we can meet that deadline. Partnering with ClimbZone, my fabricating resource, I am able to use their extensive facilities, including a 40,000 square foot warehouse complete with a 5’ x 10’ CNC machine, a 5’ x 10’ Laser Cutter, an 8’ x 10’ large format, flat bed printer, a fully equip wood shop, paint shop, print shop, welding shop, spray booth/clean room, even trailers for delivery, everything we need to design, fabricate, deliver and install a winning piece!

Symbolizing Renton as a unique Pacific Northwest destination “for coal mining, then for jobs at PAC- CAR and Boeing, and finally for today’s high tech and service occupations,” this large-scale Möbius shape expresses the city’s transitions through time by incorporating a shifting surface comprised from Core-Ten steel, raw aluminum, and stainless steel culminating into an illu- minated arc. Similarly, these components follow material guidelines outlined in the Renton Downtown Core Wayfinding Signage Design package and will serve to augment this project with a firm sense of place while helping visitors navigate the downtown sector and beyond.
