Report
Summary
The fiscal year (FY) 2017-22 Public Art Project Plan includes a project to commission Kevin Berry to enhance Odor Control Station 72 at Pinnacle Peak Road and 47th Avenue.
On Oct. 19, 2016, City Council approved a contract for Kevin Berry to work with Water Services Department, the community and the project engineer, Brown & Caldwell, to design improvements and prepare construction documents, to enhance the appearance and safety of this control station. Since then, Mr. Berry has worked with the team to develop an integrated design for new gabion security walls topped by sculptural metal fencing and a steel shade canopy.
Under this proposed contract, Mr. Berry will fabricate and coordinate installation of approximately 200 linear feet of sculptural steel fence staves, ranging from 4 to 14 feet in height. Additional project enhancements (gabion walls, landscaping and hardscape improvements) will be built by the project's general contractor, which will be contracted separately by the Water Services Department.
