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 (ACHD)'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 ACHD 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,
ineligible, or late submissions will be deemed ineligible and will not be considered.
BUDGET:
A budgeted amount of $75,000 is currently available for the selected artist's commission, which
amount includes materials, fabrication, and installation. The final budget may be higher.
PROCESS:
The evaluation and selection process will generally occur as follows; dates are subject to change as
may be necessary due to scheduling issues or other circumstances.

RE: Meridian Split Corridor Public Art Project
Dear Selection Committee:
Thank you for selecting us as a finalist. It is with great pride that the team of Castle/Lyon is
presenting our design for the Meridian Split Corridor Public Art Project.
We have approached this site in a balanced way. The driving force for the design of this project
was to honor Meridian's history in a mindful yet aesthetically pleasing way. The railroads helped
define the west including Meridian. The Union Pacific to this day still runs track through
Meridian. To celebrate this we have incorporated railroad ties, railroad rail and crushed stone
throughout these sites. The wire rope that progresses up the sculpture speaks to Meridian's
namesake and gives a sense of overflowing water symbolizing the irrigation obstacles that the
early settlers had to endure as they turned this and land into fertile land.
If selected we propose to engineer, fabricate and build our sculpture and the railroad tie base at
both the North and South entries of Main Street for the total budget of $95,000. Additionally,
per our recent discussion with Parks and Recreation we were informed that an additional $75,000
is available for landscaping, which is represented in our proposal. We believe that the strength of
our design is that the landscape supports the sculpture and conversely the sculpture does the
same for the landscape. Additionally, if funds are available, we recommend that recycled glass be
used as shown on the model and brochure.
Our vendors for this project have a long history of service in Idaho. They are: D-Swaner
welders, Clarkes Concrete and Boise Rigging.
We hope you are as excited about our design proposal as we are, and we would be willing to
discuss it with you at any time.
Sincerely yours,
Castle and Marty Lyon

Qeha metal • enarnel artist
My passion for the ancient and unique art form of vitreous enamel (glass fused to metal)
has led me down a path to the creation of professional art. I received a Masters degree at
Boise State and began committing every spare moment incorporating enamel to hand -
forged, welded copper and steel sculpture_ As my skill grew, so did the scale and range of
my work. In 2009, i resigned from my twelve-year art teaching career and established a
large studio space to facilitate my dream of full-time commission metal sculpture. I have
greatly expanded my client base, range of work and geography since that time.
I have been extremely committed to educating the public about art — the grand diary of the
human experience, reflecting the values and visions of the people of that time and place. I
am also acutely aware of the importance of public art's responsibility of promoting positive
community growth in an ever-changing modern world. Growing up in Boise, I have experi-
enced the city's desire to maintain a culturally alive, environmentally conscious and outdoor
adventure -seeking community, while maintaining its core family values during incredible
fiscal shifts. My medium is not only ideal for presenting these messages to the public
because of its realistic and abstract capabilities, but also its captivating beauty; engaging
the public in wonder. Glass enamel is exceptionally durable, withstanding the elements
while retaining its color and luminescence. I truly feel my work parallels the city's message.
I honor the past with my ancient medium while making it relevant to modern times.
I am fully able to provide all services required to work with and meet the needs and vision
of the City of Meridian. FireFusion Studio, now located in a 3,000 sq. ft. warehouse in
Garden City, is equipped with the largest 3-dimensional enameling kiln in the Northwest. I
can provide all the expertise, imagination, talent, reliability, personnel, equipment, materi-
als, and maintenance needed for the design, fabrication, and installation of your public art.

Meridian Split Corridor Phase Z Pubic Art
Proposal Concept
My recent conversations with local business owners and community members concerning the two sculp-
tures being created and installed in Meridian has given me valuable insight into what is really important to
them. They shared a desire to honor the history of Meridian while embracing a progressive, modern
worldview. It was also stressed that the significance of family, sustainability and a goal for downtown's
new development will be declared as a central point of a culturally -alive destination city which has its own
identity and signature.
A "meridian" is a circle of constant longitude passing through a given place on the earth's surface and the
terrestrial poles. It is also a point or period of highest development, greatest prosperity, splendor, vigor
and success in a person's life. I was so captivated by the meaning that I thought about using circles in the
sculptures. Meridian is soon to be the second largest city in Idaho with its highest point of growth and is
located on the center circle of the Earth. Wedding bands, the recycle logo and the cycle of life are all sym-
bolized by a closed loop. I see the circle as a great symbol for the city, giving a visual feeling that the com-
munity is connected — people encircled together sharing common interests and goals.
Meridian has a history of pioneers engaging in backbreaking physical labor — digging miles of canals
when they had no knowledge of gravity flow irrigation; building the dairy and farming industry; and main-
taining the railway, the main transportation to other neighboring towns. I visualized an image of
hard-working hands creating the city. The first sculpture is to be positioned at Main Street and Fairview
Avenue emphasizes this idea of building a community from hard work with two large hands emerging from
the ground, embracing the world. The arms and part of the hands will be created using recycled ibeams
and square and rectangular hollow steel tubes. Within the world, a flower opens, representing growth and
renewal, and a bird soars high above symbolizing the prosperity and limitless potential of the city. The
words "Meridian" and "The Center" will be cut out and floated around the middle of the floral globe,
The second sculpture at Main and Ada Streets focuses on a dancing, playful family encircled by a ring
with the Meridian star shining its light down on them.. Relief sculptures are attached to the circle depicting
images of the city's history, character and values. The recycle element of this sculpture will be
incorporated into the relief sculptures and the base,. I intend on inviting the public to contribute antique
farm, dairy and railroad equipment that will be out, welded and included with my main relief images. I
believe the community will feel a sense of ownership to see their items used in this manner. The
sculpture's base is made of railroad ties symbolizing the city's connection to areas outside the local com-
munity and the commitment to a global view.
The two sculptures combine modern, abstract and realistic elements using recycled copper flashing, hand
forged and welded 18 gauge copper sheet, recycled steel tubing and sheet steel, barn wood,railroad ties,
colorful glass enamel and antique metal elements. The sculptures will be approximately 15-20 feet tall.
Lighting Considerations
Sculpture 1 - The hands will be lighted by ground level spot lights positioned up at the sculpture sur-
rounding the base. Electrical will run up inside the pole to light the center sphere of the global flower
and the top of the bird.
Sculpture 2 - The two hollow rings will have electrical run inside them to recessed lighting that will
light up the figures and the star. The filigree cones at the top of the sculpture will have recessed
lighting in each of them as well. Additional spots lights on ground level will also be needed.
Projected Timeline—
the timeline stated in the service agreement states that the sculptures are to be installed in May
2014. 1 will have no problem meeting this requirement and will do all I can to install earlier.
E5ti.nated budget -
material costs - ( approximate costs depending on the amount and type of recycled materials obtained and the final
size calculations of the sculptures) $25,000
labor costs - 60,000
shipping -. $1,000
installation / electrical costs - $9,000

"Under the Sun and Dreaming"
Art proposed by C.J. Rench - CJRDesign - 541.399.3830 www.cjrdesignstu.dio.com
1457 Barker Rd. Hood River, Oregon 97031 j�n cjrsiesignstudio.com
Concept Statemenf:
Cities; at therm best, help shape the_next story ofthe 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 natureand 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 surroundings 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
viewer of the importance of maintaining our natural resources. With recycling
tieing a key element of the Meridian project, combine with our commitment to
sustainability, we will use aminimum 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 ies
timeless artistic quality, it's maintenance free aspect and it's proven record in public
sculpture. We will use a minimum of 100/6 and up to 30% recycled stainless steel to
complete the fabrication of the sculpture:
8 12 & 16 Gauge Stainless steel.
o Internal engineering forms stainless & mild steel TBD.
0 If Kinetic movement is executed it will be done with thrust bearings-.
Construction:
• All forms will 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 the longevity and UV resistance of
our works. 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 42000 lbs 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" impact or
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 -soaping, native planting or
minimal landscape for better sustainable water conservation. The landscape I 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
orlandscapers.
• Identify (with help from the City) the location and angle of the cement -
mounting pad.
• Engineer and have the cement pads and male 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 I recommend using a Zepp stainless steel cleaner found at most home
stores like Home Depot. Just spray this on to 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 on
the art is a good idea.
• Tagging: if the Stainless steel gets tagged with paint or some other substance,
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: Kinetic?
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 be 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?
While 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 yearlong.
• 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
to 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. Enjoyl My Best
