RECOMMENDATION
Discussion and possible action regarding the Request for Proposal for public art for the Rindge Sanitary sewer pump station
BACKGROUND
The Rindge Sanitary Sewer Pump Station, located at 542 Rindge Lane in Fulton Park, is the City’s largest sanitary sewer pumping plant. It serves a net tributary area of 224 acres, which is generally bounded by Clark Lane to the north, High Lane to the east, 190th Street to the south, and Harkness Lane to the west; and includes the area between 190th Street/Anita Street and North Beryl Street, east of North Prospect Avenue (including Coast Christian School and Jefferson Elementary School).
The Rindge Sanitary Sewer Pump Station (“Rindge Pump Station”) project improvements include construction of a new electrical building and emergency generator enclosure, complete with all architectural, structural, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical elements. This project will also incorporate an art element at the site per the City’s Public Art Ordinance (1% of project budget coordinated with the City’s Public Art Commission). The project is complete and has been accepted by City Council. The final construction cost was $2,560,000; 1% is $25,600.
According to Former Director LaRock, the Rindge Pump Station was envisioned for a mural, mounted on brackets, facing into the park. Former Director LaRock also noted the steel case fence was added later in the design process and that affixing the mural to the fence for an unobstructed view should also be considered.
The next step is to develop a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for issuance. Items for the RFP discussion may include include:
• Dimensions of mural area (refer to photos)
• Budget
• Reach of the RFP (Redondo Beach, South Bay, Southern California, State of California)
• Artwork theme
• Length of response time
• Items to be included in the proposal (artist bio, rendering)
Once the Commission has determined the components of the RFP, Community Services will issue the RFP and will bring back responses to the Commission for selection.
