Oak Knoll Oak Woodland - Public Art Call
Deadline:
October 28th, 2016
Public Art Call
SunCal, the master developer of the Oak Knoll community, Oakland, California is seeking an artist or a team of artists who will create permanent art that respects and takes advantage of the natural setting of the woodland. Artists will work with the landscape architect to safely integrate the installation. This project will require materials that are permanent, durable, weather resistant and low maintenance.
Project Description
A 120-foot-wide by 930-foot-long woodland adjacent to Rifle Range Creek, populated with mature oaks, will be preserved during development. A footpath of decomposed granite will be installed through the length of the woodland parallel with the creek. The footpath will connect to a pedestrian bridge at the south and a community center at the north. During the Rifle Range Creek restoration, the woodland will be cleared of all invasive species and debris
remaining from Naval activities, and arborists will assess the health of the trees. Some damaged and diseased trees will need to be removed. However, the desire is to preserve and protect the woodland.
Budget
The Oak Woodland budget is $230,000. The project budget must cover all expenses related to the design (design documents, renderings and/or other media as required to communicate artist's concept design to stakeholders and approving bodies); transportation and accommodation of artist; permits, fees, and business license required by the City of Oakland; insurance; materials and fabrication of artwork; and site preparation, transportation and installation of the
artwork.
Selection Process
A selection panel comprised of art professionals, community stakeholders and SunCal representatives will choose three finalists from the pool of applicants. Artistic excellence, innovation and creativity expressed in past work, as well as professional experience, will be evaluated by the panel based on materials submitted to CaFE.
The three finalists will be paid a $1000 honorarium to complete their proposals. Finalist interviews and proposal presentations with the selection panel will be conducted in Oakland, California in January 2017. Finalists proposals must include an itemized budget, a project timeline, a project narrative and maintenance requirements.
The selection panel decision will be based on the strength of the proposal and past public art experience. The selection panel finalist will be submitted to SunCal for approval.
