Westside Pump Station Reliability Improvements Project Public Art Project Plan For approval at the December 21, 2016 Visual Arts Committee meeting BACKGROUND The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is making improvements to the Westside Pump Station, located at the corner of the Great Highway and Sloat Boulevard. The Westside Pump Station is the SFPUC s main wastewater pump station servicing the west side of the City of San Francisco. The public art plan for this improvement project includes both the relocation of existing artwork as well as the commissioning of new artwork. RELOCATION OF EXISTING ARTWORK The existing artwork Earth Air Sea, by Mary Fuller, commissioned in 1986, will be removed from its current location at the corner of the Great Highway and Sloat Blvd., and relocated to a planting area in front of the building facing Sloat Blvd. The new location is adjacent to the San Francisco Zoo, and visible from residences across the street. The funds for the removal and relocation of the sculptures will be paid for from the capital improvement budget, and not from art enrichment funds. Below is an image of the concrete sculptures in their current location (on the left), and an image of the proposed location of the three sculptures (on the right). Existing Sculptures Proposed new building with relocated artwork facing Sloat Blvd. [1]
COMMISSION OF NEW ARTWORK ART OPPORTUNITY The art opportunity is the facility s West side concrete façade facing the Great Highway, distinct from the new location of the Mary Fuller sculptures along the facility s North façade facing Sloat Blvd. The preferred location for the new work is the three sides of the upper portion of the tower structure that sits just south of the signage wall. The west facing side of the upper portion of the tower is approximately 15 feet high by 20 feet wide. Due to the harsh marine environment, the material for the artwork should be of the most durable materials, for example, stone or mosaic. PROJECT GOAL The goal of this new project is to create an artwork that will beautify and complement the architecture of the building; enhance the building s connection to the site by reflecting SFPUC s mission of providing high quality, efficient and reliable water, wastewater and power services to the City in a manner inclusive of environmental and community interests; and have visibility and presence from a distance. PROJECT BUDGET Administration Fee $46,308 Artist selection, signage and documentation $9,520 Artwork Budget $136,000 Contingency $16,559 Conservation $23,154 Total Budget $231,542 ARTIST RECRUITMENT APPROACH AND ELIGIBILITY The Arts Commission will select a short list of artists from the 2015/16 Prequalified Pool. ARTIST SELECTION PROCESS The list of qualified artists will be presented to the Westside Pump Station Reliability Improvements Public Art Selection Panel consisting of one representative of the client agency (PUC), one Arts Commissioner, two arts professionals, and one community member. The panel will identify three finalists who will be invited to develop conceptual site specific proposals after attending an orientation session with the project team and key stakeholders. These finalists will be paid an honorarium of $1,250 plus travel reimbursement for development of a proposal. The Westside Pump Station Reliability Improvements Public Art Selection Panel will reconvene to consider the finalists proposals in an interview format and will select one artist and an alternate for the project for recommendation to the Art Commission. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT A community representative will serve on the Selection Panel and will participate in the Artist Orientation. The finalists proposals will be on display for public comment near the project site and on the SFAC website for two weeks prior to the final selection panel meeting. All selection panels, Visual Arts Committee (VAC) and Commission meetings are open to the public. [2]
