PREAMBLE

The City is proposing to reconstruct State Street from Park Street to Lake Street in 2014. The consultant’s services include final design and preparation of final plans, specifications and construction estimates. The City of Madison has entered into a design engineering contract with MSA Professional Services Inc.

City staff and the design team have met with the State Street Design Oversight Committee monthly to review the design. Three public information meetings have also been held. The design team has proposed that an art piece known as The Leaf be installed as part of the construction project. The Leaf is a stainless steel structure that is proposed to be installed at the intersection of State Street and East Campus Mall. The design fees and artist fees ($20,000) were not included in the original contract with MSA. Funding is proposed to be provided from Tax Increment Financing District 32. The cost estimate for the manufacturing and installation of The Leaf is an additional $130,000, which will be included in the fiscal note of the final plans & specifications approval of the construction project.

The City Engineer recommends that additional design services be undertaken MSA Professional Services Inc. They are:

1. Additional structural design analyses for structural loading, wind & ice loading for the art piece.
2. Include the artist fee for the art piece in the design contract.
