Commission continues planning for Big Valley CAMRAP selection and utility‑box/wrap installations
Summary
The commission reviewed logistics and funding for the Big Valley CAMRAP selection and subsequent installs of wraps/utility‑box graphics; they reported 94 submissions, a $1,500 account balance, a $150 artist stipend proposal, and directed staff to obtain quotes and coordinate a selection matrix with central services.
Commissioners discussed the Big Valley CAMRAP selection process and next steps for wrapping or graphics installations on utility boxes and a spot bus project.
Why it matters: the selection process will determine which community artworks are installed in public rights‑of‑way and how stipends and printing costs are covered.
Key details Commissioners reported there are 94 submissions for the project. The commission currently has approximately $1,500 available in the project account and discussed using those funds to pay production invoices if quotes come in under the commission’s internal threshold. A proposed artist stipend of $150 each was discussed but not formally adopted.
Process, selection matrix and schedule Commissioners said they need to work with central services to finalize the selection matrix and panel; central services help is available but currently limited. Commissioners directed staff and working members to assemble a draft matrix that staff can forward to central services for approval. Due to cold weather and production schedules, installation was expected to occur in the spring.
Procurement and funding logistics Commissioners asked for several quotes from local vendors (Busy Beaver, Turner and other printers were mentioned) and agreed that if a quote comes in under the internal threshold the invoice can be processed; otherwise they will seek additional funds from STCU (or another sponsor) to finish payments.
Quotations from the meeting "I think we're we're just gonna have to, do the install in the spring," a commissioner said when planning the schedule; another said there are 94 submissions, which will make the selection meeting a "couple hours."
Forward look Staff and commissioners will prepare a selection matrix for central services, solicit multiple vendor quotes for printing/wraps, confirm stipend amounts and funding availability, and schedule a multi‑hour selection meeting to adjudicate the 94 submissions.
