Cover Letter
Enclosed please find my proposal for Pavement Amenities, to be included as part
of the La Quinta Civic Center Campus Project.
My name is Sandy Swan. I have owned Swan Design & Screenprint since 1982, and
have worked full time as a professional commercial artist since 1980. My husband
and I have lived in La Quinta since 1980.
My proposal is to incorporate tracks of local desert animals into the concrete walk-
way as it is poured. Tracks would be stamped into the concrete using footprint
casts, taken either from live animals or from tracks collected in the field. Track
placement will be planned in advance, in consultation with both the Park and
Landscape Architects. Plans for each individual concrete section will be drawn up,
with a diagram showing which animal, how many tracks, and how they will be
placed (meander, diagonally crossing, in and out along an edge, etc.). All tracks in
the pathway would be life size, and accurate as to spacing and placement for
stride (walk, trot, ,run).
I have worked on two previous projects involving animal tracks. The first Is a bronze
relief panel of local desert animal tracks, which is installed in the Michael Wolfson
Park in Rancho Mirage. The original plaster impressions were taken from live animals
at the Living Desert (roadrunner, sidewinder, chuckwalla, coyote), the Bighorn Insti-
tute (bighorn ram), and the San Diego Zoo (mountain lion). These individual impres-
sions were combined into a final bronze relief panel.
I was also a consultant for the Living Desert Education Department's. walkway
project, which incorporated animal tracks into the walkways around the Education
Building and in the wash areas. I assisted with design ideas, shared my methods for
collecting tracks, and helped with troubleshooting.
The addition of desert animal tracks in the pathways would be interesting, educa-
tional and fun for Park visitors. I have watched children at the living Desert running
ahead to see where the tracks in the sidewalk lead. Teachers take their classes on
field trips to Wolfson Park, to look at the animal tracks panel and talk about each
different animal. The bronze animal track panel is also very popular with blind and
visually impaired people who visit Wolfson Park. They are able to "see" the huge
paw of a mountain lion, the X-pattern of a roadrunner's foot, and the beautiful
swirls left by the belly scales of a snake.
As a possible enhancement to this project, a small bronze plaque could be in-
stalled near each set of tracks. The plaque would have a life-size debossed track of
the animal, and descriptive text in both raised letters and Braille. This would be
informative and beneficial for both sighted and visually impaired park visitors.

Dear Docile,
Here is the signed contract for the Animal Tracks project. Please note the clarifications below:
• Section III - Specific Items of Inclusion; Section 3
Ten different animal tracks will -be -used thfoughout -the campus -project. fachidual walkway
section \ iHl have between 1-4 different animals.
• The 30 day fabrication time would be the actual stamping of tracks into the concrete as it is
poured. Additional time is needed before that stage to discuss track layout and placement with
the campus architect, .collect the tracks, and prepare the stamps. I would need to be notified no
later than 90 days before the actual pouring begins.
• Selection of animals and layout of track patterns must be approved by the appropriate
persons/committees before track collection and fabrication begins.
' I will need1he name of the concrete contractor as soon as possible, to coordinate the track
stamping with their scheduled pour dates.
I also will need to meet with Tom Doczi as soon as possible to get a final layout of the pathways
and landscape/hardscape features.
Please a)so note our new home address shown above. (Home phone stays the same.)
Thank you s much for your assistance, and I look forward to starting work on this project.
P.S. - Petpr La Dochy contacted me regarding the possibility of having me add some of my animal
tracks around the crossroads mosaics he will be installing, in the pathway. I think these two projects
would tie together nicely, and would be happy to discuss this further if it is approved.
