Title
Lone Mountain Park Public Art Contract Amendment - District 2
Description
Request the City Manager, or his designee, to amend the artist contract with WOWHAUS in an amount not exceeding $75,000 for the design, fabrication, and installation of artwork for the Lone Mountain Park Public Art Project.
Report
Summary
The Fiscal Year 2024-29 Public Art Plan includes funding for artwork located at Lone Mountain Park, a 39.5-acre undeveloped land located at 56th Street and Montgomery Road (56th Street south of Lone Mountain Road).
The original artist contract for the Lone Mountain Park Public Art Project was approved in the amount of $450,000 by the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission on January 9, 2024, and by the City Council on March 6, 2024 (Ordinance S-50641).
The team of Ene Osteraas-Constable and Scott Constable (WOWHAUS) has completed the design of the integrated, functional artwork for the park; however, increased material and construction costs have impacted the overall park construction budget and the artwork fabrication and installation costs.
