CITY EDITOR: Jay Hamburger 649-9014 extl 1 1 citynewsparkrecord.com Sculpture contract QK'd Firm will receive $100Kfor Oly memorial By JAY HAMBURGER Of the Record staff Almost two months after making mak-ing its well-publicized selection of an artist to design a Winter Olympic legacy sculpture, the Park City government last week authorized author-ized a $100,000 contract to build the piece. . ' ? :" ' " ' The Park City Council voted to OK a $100,000 contract with G. Brown Design, Inc. to build the piece, which will be placed along the city's S.R. 224 entryway, nearby the Richards Ranch, a swath of open land owned by the government. govern-ment. It will be placed on the west side of S.R. 224, where a Park City. ChamberBureau kiosk once stood. The elected officials had discussed dis-cussed the project previously. Thursday's vote was more a formality for-mality since Mayor Dana Williams . and the City Council several weeks ago announced that G. Brown Design would be awarded the contract con-tract and the sum of money available avail-able for the piece was already known. According to a report submitted submit-ted to the elected officials by Public Affairs Director Myles Rademan, the firm's project is budgeted bud-geted at $140,000 but G. Brown ; Design has guaranteed $40,000 in donated services. The contract specifies responsibilities responsi-bilities by both City Hall and G. Brown Design. The government must provide electricity and irrigation to the site, reconfigure parking and fences if necessary and place a plaque at the site that recognizes the contributors contribu-tors to the project, Rademan said in his report. The firm, meanwhile, will design and construct the stainless steel sculpture and construct necessary nec-essary lighting, landscaping and irrigation, the report outlines. Cliff Garten, from Los Angeles, designed the sculpture, known as 'Making Tracks.' "With the Olympics, that started start-ed a whole new chapter in its history his-tory ; . .'It marks a new era in Park City. You cant come here and not know that." Garten told The Park Record in February. Rademan said G. Brown Design must sign the contract and he expects all the necessary signatures signa-tures will be collected by next week. Rademan said he wants the sculpture to be a recognizable addition on the way into Park City. : "I hope it's going to give us a great iconic symbol on the entry-way," entry-way," Rademan said, adding that it will be a timeless piece, not specifically specif-ically tied to the 2002 Winter Games through its design. The piece will be 17 feet tall .at its highest point. Rademan said he expects work at the site to begin in the fall and ft ; "X COURTESY OF PARK CITY MUNICIPAL CORP. The sculpture "Making Tracks" will be placed along the city's S.R. 224 entryway. the sculpture's installation is expected by mid-January. A dedication dedi-cation is planned in February to coincide with the three-year anniversary of the 2002 Olympics. The sculpture will be one of Park City's most significant Olympic legacies, joining pieces such as Bill Kranstover's torch sculpture at the Kimball Art Center in- Old Town and the Olympic Welcome. Plaza at Snow Creek. Olympic boosters have long argued that Park City needs to showcase its Games heritage in an effort to give the city a competitive advantage over most other mountain moun-tain resorts in the world. Rademan said the sculpture will be the last Olympic legacy piece that City Hall devotes significant money to but said others in the community could do so. Siihiihp li s a library 1 iHi 1 GRAYSON WESTBARK RECORD The Park City Library is usually one of the quietest places in the city. Not this week. Crews have started work on the library's planned expansion and the facility is closed until April 12 because of heavy construction. Matt Stroshine, pictured, who works for the firm J.D. Larson, pulled down a section of drywall in one of the library's rooms, on Monday,, the first day of the work. Library staffers will spend the week setting up a temporary circulation desk, which will operate until mid-July. The book drop outside the library will accept books this week. Once the expansion is complete, there will be more space for Internet terminals and the children's section will be enlarged. Building numbers outpace '03 A strong. March for the con- ' struction industry has kept building build-ing figures in Park City higher than those recorded a year ago. The Park City Building. Department reports that almost $8.9 million in construction had been tallied through March in 2004. The numbers are up from the little less than $6.1 million that was recorded through March 2003. About $3.3 million in construc tion was permitted in March. Two single-family homes represented repre-sented about half of the value' of last month. Combined, they are worth a little lit-tle more than $1.6 million. Alterations, and additions . to dwellings and commercial buildings build-ings accounted for more than $1 million. The value of March's permits outpaced those seen in February and the previous March. The number num-ber and value of electrical, plumbing plumb-ing and mechanical permits were roughly the same between 2003 and 2004. Inspections, however, dropped.
