CITY COUNCIL MEETING: June 8, 2020
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF A REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS TO DESIGN AND INSTALL ARTWORK AT ROUNDABOUTS ON
AVENIDA BERMUDAS AT CALLE SINALOA AND CALLE TAMPICO.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a Request for Proposals submission to design and install artwork at
the roundabouts on Avenida Bermudas at Calle Sinaloa and Calle Tampico.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• In November 2019, the Community Services Commission (CSC)
established the Roundabout Art Sub-committee (Sub-committee)
comprised of two Cove Neighborhood Association (CNA) members and
two commissioners.
• $95,000 is appropriated for artwork; the Sub-committee recommended
budgeting $47,500 for each site.
• Distribution of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for artwork and design will
initiate this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approximate project costs that will be included for the RFP will be $95,000
paid from the project number (401-0000-60188 151603CT).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The La Quinta Village Complete Streets is a road diet project that includes five
new roundabouts designed to accommodate artwork installation under the Art
in Public Places program (APP). The CSC is responsible for making APP
procurement recommendations to Council. For the Village Complete Streets
project the CSC initiated the effort by establishing a Sub-committee.
During deliberation, the Sub-committee agreed that due to the roundabout’s
large footprint, funds should be expended on two roundabouts to acquire an
art piece sufficiently large enough to fill the space. In addition, there is no
existing art in the adjoining areas and the large volume of vehicular traffic
make both locations favorable for new art.
BUSINESS ITEM NO.
If the CSC elects to move forward, staff will publish the RFP (Attachment 1)
to the City’s list of prequalified artists and return proposals for CSC
consideration.
ALTERNATIVES
The CSC can elect not to publish the RFP and not install art at the roundabouts.
