TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

TITLE: Contract with Arts Orange County to Manage Phase VIII of the
Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park
ABSTRACT:
The Newport Beach City Arts Commission requests that the City Council approve a
contract with Arts Orange County for $119,000 for Phase VIII of the Sculpture Exhibition
in Civic Center Park. This amount includes project coordination and management fees, in
addition to installation and de -installation fees.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Approve a contract with Arts Orange County for project management of Phase VIII of
the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park for a total amount not to exceed
$119,000, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park is an integral feature of the Newport Beach
Civic Center project. The Civic Center Park project was designed by the renowned
landscape architectural firm, PeterWalker and Partners (PWP). PWP developed a master
plan for art in the park, and identified various spots in the park where art, particularly
sculpture, could be exhibited.
The City Arts Commission determined that a rotating exhibition was a pragmatic approach
to bring sculpture to the City of Newport Beach (City) in a cost-efficient manner.

The acquisition program that the City Arts Commission developed in 2013 for the exhibition
created a model in which pieces are loaned for a two-year period. Sculptors of works
chosen for the exhibition are provided with a small honorarium, not to exceed $5,000, to
loan their work to the City. The City is responsible for installing the art, while sculptors are
responsible for the maintenance and repair of their work. Pieces are rotated into the
exhibition annually and displayed for two years. Phases overlap for a one-year period so
that 20 pieces are typically on display.
Admission is free and the exhibition continues to be enjoyed by residents and visitors.
The exhibition offers the temporary display of public art that allows the City to avoid the
obligation and expense of owning public art. The City Arts Commission selects a well-
balanced representation of public art that appeals to a diverse audience, while including
artistic merit, durability, practicality, and site responsiveness as criteria in the selection.
The rotational nature of the exhibit ensures that residents and guests are exposed to a
variety of work.
Park visitors are encouraged to download the free Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center
Park app to take a roughly 30-minute guided tour through the 14-acre park.
A temporary/rotational exhibit of this nature is a first for Orange County and has proven
to be a popular amenity that has garnered significant favorable media coverage. The
sculpture garden has become an integral element to the enjoyment of the park by
residents and guests throughout the year, and the "museum without walls" has become a
favored destination for residents and guests interested in public art.
Arts Orange County
The City Arts Commission requests that the City Council approve a contract with Arts
Orange County for $119,000.00 for Phase VIII. The budget remains unchanged from
Phase VII.

The City Arts Commission selected Arts Orange County (Arts OC) to provide public art
coordination and site management services for the first seven phases of the Sculpture
Exhibition in Civic Center Park after issuing Requests for Proposals in 2013 and 2016.
Given the consultant's background experience and expertise, and its availability, staff is
requesting a Professional Services Agreement with Arts OC for this work. The Arts OC
project team successfully managed all previous phases of the exhibition and has strong
working relationships with the City Arts Commission and City staff.
Arts Orange County was established in 1995 as the nonprofit, countywide arts council of
Orange County, California. Arts Orange County has been recognized by the California
Arts Council as a model agency based on the quality of its work and has served as the
officially designated arts agency and state -local partner of the County of Orange since its
inception.
Private Funding
As in previous phases, the City Arts Commission will utilize private funds to augment the
total cost of Phase VIII. The Newport Beach Arts Foundation has already committed
$10,000.00 toward the project. These donated funds will be used to pay artist
honorariums.
Community Input
Since the exhibition's inception, the City Arts Commission has increased public
engagement by offering residents opportunities to become part of the selection process.
The following elements introduced with Phase VII will continue:
The City Arts Commission will not utilize an ad hoc subcommittee for selecting
the pieces for Phase VIII. Instead, during a regular meeting, the entire City Arts
Commission will determine which pieces to include in an online public
survey. The results from completed surveys will determine which pieces will be
installed in the Phase VIII Sculpture Exhibition.
The City Arts Commission and a curatorial panel will approve pieces for inclusion
in the online public survey, based on the following criteria:
Artistic Merit — the artist has strong professional qualifications, and the
artwork is of high quality and demonstrates originality and artistic
excellence.
2. Durability — the artwork is made of high -quality materials, requires minimal
maintenance, and can withstand the outdoor elements of coastal Orange
County.
3. Practicality — the artwork is appropriate for audiences of all ages and does
not exhibit unsafe conditions that may bear on public liability.

4. Site Appropriateness — the scale of the artwork is suitable for the
environment and the artwork is suitable for viewing from all angles.
• The approved pieces will be included in the online public survey. The public,
through the online survey, will choose 10 artworks and three alternates. The most
popular pieces, as determined through the online survey, will be selected for the
Exhibition, pending final approval by the City Council.
• The City Arts Commission and City staff will publicize opportunities for public
participation in the entire process to the maximum extent feasible.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient funds in the Cultural Arts budget to fund Phase VIII. Funds will be
expended from the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park Phase VIII account (Account
No. 01060603-811059) in the General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
Consultant to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole

service status or other right of employment shall accrue to Consultant or its employees.

of Consultant's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Consultant
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the Work,
provided that Consultant is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in

mean only that Consultant shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the
Services.

The subcontractors authorized by City, if any, to perform Work on this Project are
identified in Exhibit A. Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for all acts and
omissions of any subcontractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual
relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the

other than as otherwise required by law. City is an intended beneficiary of any Work

right to appeal to the City Manager or designee with respect to such disputed sums.

22. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
In the event of errors or omissions that are due to the negligence or professional
inexperience of Consultant which result in expense to City greater than what would have
resulted if there were not errors or omissions in the Work accomplished by Consultant,

Consultant. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit City's rights under the law or any
other sections of this Agreement.

of per diem wages including legal holidays and overtime Work for each craft or type of
workman shall be paid to all workmen employed on such. In accordance with the
California Labor Code (Sections 1770 et seq.), the Director of Industrial Relations has
ascertained the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which the Work
is to be performed for each craft, classification, or type of workman or mechanic needed
to execute the Agreement. A copy of said determination is available by calling the
prevailing wage hotline number (415) 703-4774, and requesting one from the Department
of Industrial Relations. The Contractor is required to obtain the wage determinations from
the Department of Industrial Relations and post at the job site the prevailing rate or per
diem wages. It shall be the obligation of the Contractor or any subcontractor under
