PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT – FIRE STATION NO. 6 PAGE 4

need for maintenance, restoration, or repair shall be made by City.

Call to Artists – Request for Proposals:
Fire Station #6 Public Art Project
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Meridian Arts Commission (MAC) and Meridian Fire Department (MFD) invite artists to prepare proposals
for a public art project that would be installed in front of Fire Station #6, which will be constructed at 1435
W. Overland Road and completed around March 2020. The public art at Fire Station #6 should be
freestanding, safe and hazard-free, low-maintenance, durable, suitable for outdoor installation, visible from
the roadway and welcoming to visitors at the facility. The selection panel is looking for proposals that are
either gender inclusive or symbolic in nature (for example: bugles/trumpets, the Maltese Cross, etc.). The
artwork installed at Fire Station #6 should feature imagery related to the work of MFD.
MERIDIAN FIRE DEPARTMENT:
The Mission of MFD is “to protect and enhance our community through professionalism and compassion.”
Their Vision is “a premier organization recognized for providing a safe community through professionalism,
innovative actions, and community involvement.” MFD is committed to the safety and education of the
community it serves. MFD has four divisions: Operations, Prevention, Planning, and Administrative Support.
More information about MFD and its related associations is online at
https://meridiancity.org/fire/index.html.
SITE DESCRIPTION:
Fire Station #6 will be Meridian’s newest station, located in south Meridian. The site for the public art is in
front of the station, between the front doors and Overland Road. The art will need to be installed into
concrete near the flag pole. Electric power can be available, please specify if power is a component of your
proposal. The image below was presented to City Council in December 2018. The concrete area near the
flagpole is the general area where the artwork would be installed.

To the Selection Committee,
Thank you for this opportunity to submit a proposal for this public art project at Fire Station #6. I am excited
about this project because if feel my work and expertise can greatly benefit this project. I am also an Idaho
native and grew up in Meridian so I feel great pride whenever I can contribute to the arts in my hometown.
I have experience with several Public Works as evidenced in my resume; I have also been a finalist for various
public art sculpture projects and have experience creating in depth proposals for various projects, which
include making renderings and scale models, as well as itemized budgets. My experience in public art has
allowed me to create art for specific locations including Libraries, Parks, City Halls, Fire Stations, and Police
Stations.
As an artist, I have been active and aggressive in shaping my career and helping others to cultivate an
appreciation for the Arts. I hold a BA in Art Education with a minor in English from BYU-Idaho. I have been an
art teacher at Shelley High School since 2009. Friendly and approachable, I communicate naturally with both
youth and adults. I make it a point to include an educational element to every public work I undertake. If
chosen for this project I wish to visit local high school classes in Meridian and talk to them about the project to
raise awareness and inspire future makers and patrons of art.
I am eager to use my experience and expertise to execute this project and see my proposal become a reality.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Daniel Borup
Professional Artist

Proposal Description
For This project I am proposing to sculpt a life size Fire Fighter at the ready with a fire hose. The figure is
wearing a mask so it is gender neutral. Exact placement is yet to be determined. I imagine it somewhere near
the flagpole but it is hard to know exact placement until it is on location and I can see how the environment and
lighting effects the sculpture.
Material: Bronze
Dimensions: Life Size - About 6.5 feet tall from boots to top of helmet if the figure was standing. Probably
around 4 feet 10 inches kneeling
Maintenance: A detailed maintenance plan will be provided when the sculpture is installed. Bronze is one of
the finest materials for public art. It not only looks fantastic but it is extremely durable with very little
maintenance needed. It is recommended that a new coat of wax be applied to the sculpture at least once a
year to keep the patina looking fresh.
Edition: Due to the budget of the project and the expenses of creating a bronze sculpture I will be making this
piece into an edition of 9 in order to make it worth it for me to do the project. The sculpture cast for this project
will be the first in the edition. To make it more unique to Meridian I will be sculpting the name “Meridian” on the
front of the helmet.

Title: Public Safety Memorial
Media: Bronze, Concrete
Dimensions: Life Size
Date: 2018
Location: Police Department Building - Cedar Park, Texas
Description: This project is a memorial to Public Safety workers and includes 3 bronze
plaques honoring 2 police officers and 1 firefighter who died in the line of duty. I designed
the piece to go on a 3 foot tall pedestal with 3 benches surrounding the pedestal to be used
as a gathering place for viewers who wish to sit and contemplate.

Title: Bearers of the Maltese Cross Media: Aluminum
Dimensions: 8 ft. x 12 ft. x 6 in.
Date: 2017
Location: Fire Station #3 - Ogden, Utah
Comments: The history of firefighters is very interesting. The cross that firefighters wear on their helmets and uniforms is called the
Maltese Cross. Named after the cross the knights of Saint John wore in Malta in the 1500’s. The story goes that as Malta was being
attacked the opposing army was using a new revolutionary weapon of war... Fire. They filled glass bottles with naptha and drenched
the army and the city with flammable fluid. When everything was sufficiently soaked they threw in their torches and burned many
alive. The knights of Saint John took to saving everyone they could often sacrificing themselves in the process. These knights
became the first fire fighters and the Maltese cross has come to symbolize the courage and responsibility fire fighters take upon
themselves in their willingness to risk their own lives to help those in need. My design shows a knight of Saint John, a fire fighter
from the 1800’s and a modern day fire fighter, Each bearing the Maltese Cross.

Title: Out on the Town
Media: Bronze
Dimensions: Life Size
Date: 2016
Location: City Hall - Meridian, Idaho
Comments: Growing up in Meridian, I
had many opportunities to see my
hometown through a child’s eyes. On
many occasions, my older siblings and I
would walk around town buying candy
and ice cream and looking at toys. It
was always a fun adventure. I hope this
sculpture will encourage Meridian
residents and visitors to enjoy
themselves out on the town.
