CALL FOR ARTISTS
Meridian ~ Commission
Call for Artists -RFQ + RFP
Meridian Split Corridor Phase 2 Public Art Project
OVERVIEW:
The Meridian Split Corridor Phase 2 Public Art Project intends to create vitality and a sense of
place by placing engaging works of art on two parcels bookending the City of Meridian downtown
core, in conjunction with the Ada County Highway District (ACRD}'s Meridian Split Corridor Phase 2
(MSC2) roadway project. This Call for Artists is a two stage process. The first stage is a request for
qualifications (RFQ), in which the Meridian Arts Commission (MAC) invites artists to submit general
qualifications for the design, fabrication, and installation of public art. The second stage is a
request for proposals (RFP), in which up to three (3) qualified finalists will be invited to submit
proposals for the MSC2 Public Art Project.
LOCATIONS:
There are two locations designated for public art -the first on the southwest corner of Ada and
Main Streets, and the second on the southeast corner of Main Street and Fairview Avenue. The
attached schematics illustrate parcel locations and dimensions.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The artwork must promote environmental responsibility and sustainability, particularly as to
recycling efforts and wise use of energy and other resources, and should incorporate recycled,
reused or repurposed materials. The artwork should also take into account Meridian's history,
character, and values, as well as existing aesthetic improvements along Main Street. The artwork
must be appropriate for the project site, and its design, regardless of material or medium, may not
create an unsafe distraction to vehicular traffic. The artwork must be located a safe distance from
curbs and roadways and must conform to all applicable City and ACRD ordinances and policies,
including building and sign codes. Please note that while the north site may be accessed by
pedestrians, the south site has no sidewalks, and is not intended to be accessed by pedestrians; the
artwork at the south site should be of an appropriate scale and design to be appreciated by moving
vehicular traffic. Limited water and electrical utilities are planned for both sites. The City of
Meridian will collaborate with the selected artist to design landscaping of the sites that will
compliment the artwork.
ELIGIBILITY:
Artists who are eighteen (18) years or older and living full time in Idaho or a state contiguous to
Idaho (Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, or Montana) are eligible to respond. This
project is open to applicants regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, or
disability. Teams of artists, designers, and/or engineers are welcome to apply. Incomplete,

ARTIST' S PROPOSAL
541 -399-3830
CJRDESIGNSTUD[O.COM
"Under the Sun and Dreaming"
Art- proposed by C.J. Rench - CJRDesign - 541.399.3830 www.cjrdesignstudio.com
1457 Barker Rd. Hood River, Oregon 97031 c' ~cji_designstudio.coni
Concept Statement:
Cities, at their best, help shape the next story of the state in which it resides. They
are full of history and of new promises. "Under the Sun and Dreaming" captures
Meridians past and present, the abstract elements within the sculpture -birds of
prey, open skies, orchards, recreation, abundant sun, and a strong connection to
natural resources are easily recognizable, playful in nature and visually balanced.
"Under the Sun and Dreaming' draws on not only the historical past but also the
cultural present and invites viewers to re-visit in their own imaginations what
Meridian is, was and will can become.
Forms, Color & Meaning:
"Under the Sun and Dreaming" will be a twenty-seven-piece monumental stainless
steel sculpture standing thirteen feet tall and twenty feet wide. Borrowing from
Meridians past and present, the abstract elements within the sculpture - birds of
prey, open skies, orchards, recreation, abundant sun, and a strong connection to
natural resources are easily recognizable and playful in nature. The colors will be
the reflections of the natural sw•roundings and light of the day off the textured
stainless steel.
Project Details:
sustainability /recycling:
Indirectly the sculpture touches on the themes of sustainability and recycling by
highlighting all the wonderful natural elements of the area, thus reminding the
viewers of the importance of maintaining our natural resources. With recycling
being a key element of the Meridian project, combine with our commitment to
sustainability, we will use a minimum of 10% and up to 30% recycled stainless steel
to complete the fabrication of the sculpture.
Materials
Stainless steel is the chosen material for "Under the Sun and Dreaming" for it's
timeless artistic quality, it's maintenance free aspect and it's proven record in public
sculpture. We will use a minimum of 10% and up to 30% recycled stainless steel to
complete the fabrication of the sculpture.
• 12 & 16 Gauge Stainless steel.
• Internal engineering forms stainless & mild steel TBD.
• If I{inetic movement is executed it will be done with tht•ust bearings.
Construction:
• All forms wilt be constructed out of stainless steel in hollow form manner
with internal supports for engineering.
• The mounting will be a slip-on mount (via a hoist) with all the mounting
hard-wear hidden from view once the installation is completed.
• All fabrication done in CJRDesign Hood River studio.
Finish:
• Each form will be textured to follow the lines of the forms. 'thus creating
various textures and movement in the sculpture.
° At CJRDesign if color is used we use a two-part hi polymer epoxy finish. This
is the only way we can have confidence in Che longevity and UV resistance of
our wm-ks. We pride ourselves on providing our customers long term
maintenance free works of art!
Approximate Size /Weight:
The sculpture will be approximately 13' feet tall and 20'+ feet wide with the
thickness of the forms ranging from 18" to 26"inches.
Approximate weight 420001bs total.
Location:
Taking a long look at both the North and South sites that are available for
placement of art. I decided to focus on the main entrance, the South site, for a
few reasons. One, the North site would not have the overall "Wow' impactor
be viewable from multiple sides as the South site will have. Second, a
sculpture designed at the proper scale to fit the North site will certainly
create a visual barrier and a distraction to the drivers. Finally the
orientation to the sun at the North site also leaves a sculpture continually
back lit and unfortunately the best view from the neighboring parking lot.
• Looking at the site and potential I feel it is more important to place a
monumental iconic sculpture that can spotlight the arts and culture of
Meridian and continue to introduce visitors and locals alike to all that
Meridian has to offer.
Landscaping:
The sculpture, by its shear size, lends itself to either zero-scaping, native planting or
minimal landscape for better sustainable water conservation. The landscape 1 would
propose for the site would be a few berms and mounds carefully placed to frame
and or possibly lift the sculpture.
Site Prep: CJRDesign will
• Identify any and all plantings that need to be moved or removed by the city
or landscapers.
• Identify (with help from the City) the location and angle of the cement-
mountingpad.
• Engineer and have the cement pads and mate mounting pipes set in place.
• Provide the City the necessary engineering for the pad or pads to be poured.
Maintenance:
Using stainless steel provides an extremely durable and low maintenance
finish with strong stain resistance. When the shine or finish start to loose the
sparkle [recommend using a Zepp stainless steel cleaner found at most home
stores like Home Depot. Just spray this onto all the stainless steel and then
wipe off with a soft towel.
• One of the many reasons I like to use the Zepp is it leaves an oily coating on
the sculpture and this is a great deterrent for people that think climbing nn
the art is a good idea.
• Tagging: if the Stainless steel gets tagged with paint or some other suhstance,
you can simply use Acetone to remove the marks and then clean again with a
Stainless cleaner.
• Subcontractor/Supplier? Professional Services List:
• Engineering -All Structures Engineering, Taggard OR,
• Laser Cutting - B& B Steel Canby, OR.
• Misc. Materials -Alaskan Copper /American Steel
• Crane /Hoist rental - TBD (local preferred)

Selection Committee:
Design and scale:
As I set out to develop a sculpture for the Split Corridor project, I wanted to design a
work that would place the arts and culture of Meridian in the national spotlight. A
monumental community valued sculpture that would be iconic for the city of
Meridian and quickly bring Meridian equal to or above much bigger cities showing
its commitment to arts and culture. I believe a monumental work as complex,
unique and timeless as "Under the Sun and Dreaming" can accomplish these lofty
expectations.
Dimensionally:
Each form will have much more dimensionality then I can make in a small flat
model. I'll try to explain, as you look at the top horizontal form of the skyline and
wind, when this is built it will look more like a ribbon where the tail crosses over the
top of the length, so it will not be one flat surface like the model. Many other forms
are built out this way also.
Open option 1; I{inetic?
Looking over the sculpture there are a few possibilities for kinetic elements, if you
as the committee feel it will not be a distraction for the drivers. The bird of prey on
the left side and or the cloud could he kinetic. These elements would spin in a
breeze and can both be done with-in the budget. I don't feel this would be
distracting to the drivers but it would add a level of interaction with the sculpture
always changing. I leave this decision up to you.
Open option 2: Color?
Whi[e designing the sculpture I picked stainless steel for the piece for a few reasons.
Zero maintenance, no fading or touch up, easily cleaned when tagged.
• Exciting, constantly changing reflections all year long.
• Timeless presentation with a richer more expensive look.
However, if as a committee you feel that a few or all the pieces would fit Meridian
better as a color this is absolutely possible. We can paint one, two, three or all
pieces, one or• multiple colors. This is all possible also with-in the budget and is up
Co you,
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this process, I hope you enjoy "Under the
Sun and Dreaming" as much as I enjoyed designing a piece specifically for my old
home area. Enjoy! My Best
