2 A. General Information The Milligan Studio offers Slipstream. Bronze, steel, and kiln-formed architectural recycled glass, 10ft (H)x 10 (W) x 4’ (D), the sculpture will facilitate both communal and individual experiences. It can be “read” from afar, as it will have the form of a leaping fish or a river. Up close, one will see that the community of diverse fish are swimming along in two slipstreams, encircled with intertwining steel representing the highways as Slipstream is in honor of Charles Merritt Babcock who developed the Minnesota Highway system. Slipstream with its dramatic blues cast in bronze and kiln glass is a striking metaphor. B. Scope of Services The Project Budget is not to exceed $20,000. The Milligan Studio LLC is engaged in the business of providing professional public art design, documentation, fabrication, and installation services. Installation services are defined as a collaborative effort between the Consultant and the Commissioner with EDA arranging for the clearing of the agreed upon site, permits, concrete base, and help with installation on the day of the install with a EDA-appointed Representative overseeing the “hand-over” of the work so that the sculpture’s installation can meet City /County/State regulations regarding such structures. As EDA will be responsible for insurance of the work once it is installed, their participation in the installation process is vital as they can indemnify the process through participation. As lighting of the work was not defined in the RFP, and not in the current budget, the lighting of the sculpture, and the installation of said lights, will be the responsibility of EDA, in consultation with the Milligan Studio, LLC, as we can aid in helping EDA make an economically practical choice for the location and its challenges. If possible, we would like to speak to those who would install/approve the lights soon, as we could then design them into our final drawings. It is our plan to begin construction as soon as the materials arrive. C. Community Engagement We have offered several options for community events, but given the fluidity of the COVID epidemic, none have been selected at the time of our contract. As working with communities is an important part of our practice, we agree that a safe option will take place somewhere after October, 2020__the scope is to be determined at a later date. We also agree to document the process of making Slipstream on a dedicated webpage on our site that can be easily accessed by EDA. While the copyright for all photos & materials remain with T he Milligan Studio, the use of such documentation will be freely shared with EDA for publicity or documentation purposes. D. Fulfillment of the Contract The Milligan Studio is always on-time and on-budget. That said, it is understandable that in times of COVID, there must be contingencies to insure that this contract will be fulfilled and Elk River will have Slipstream fabricated and installed in a timely manner and within budget. In that light, The Milligan Studio will keep EDA contacts informed of any changes that will impact the delivery of the work and if some unforeseen Act of God creates a situation where the sculpture cannot be delivered by us, we will notify the EDA within seven days of the discovery and work to find agreeable solutions to this situation.
