Every olympiad, the Olympic torch begins its journey in Olympia, Greece, and burns steadily while it travels across the world to the location of the games, calling the world together for the competition. The Olympic Flame is lit during the opening ceremony, and burns throughout the games until their close, symbolizing purity, a striving for perfection, and life itself. The Champion’s Flame would consist of several parts: a tiered concrete base, a metal bowl meant to house the flame, a javelin that would stand vertically from the center, and twisting metal flames. The flames would be painted a shiny metallic gold on one side, and a brilliant red on the other, catching the eye, and playing with perspective and light. There are several opportunities for messages or quotes from past champions to be integrated into the sculpture, either around the second tier of the concrete base, or plasma cut into the bowl shape at the sculpture’s base. Lastly, durable outdoor lights would be integrated into the sculpture, shining upwards, creating a beautiful and dynamic flame sculpture at night. Our bid includes a replacement to the current entrance sign. We propose a similar placement and construction, but with an attractive and complementary sign that links the park’s signage to the art piece further within the park. Design Revisions We want the Meridian Arts Commission to understand these are design concepts, not final designs. We have included in our bid additional design time to take feedback from the Commission and fold those into our finalized production designs. Timeline and Budget Itemized Budget Park Identity at Champion Park Ÿ Concrete base design and subcontracting: $18,000 Ÿ Electrician subcontracting: $3,000 Ÿ The Champion’s Flame materials: $6,600 Ÿ Park Entrance Sign materials: $2,325 Ÿ Labor (includes design, engineering, fabrication, and installation): $10,190 Pre-tax total: $37,115 Detailed Timeline Trademark is currently undertaking some very large projects, and our fabricators are already heavily scheduled until the end of June. We will be able to integrate creative revisions, engineer our final designs, and coordinate any subcontracted labor in the spring and early summer, but it’s doubtful we will be able to install these projects until August.
