HomeMy WebLinkAbout13 - Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park — Local Assistance Specified GrantTO: FROM: CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report October 8, 2019 Agenda Item No. 13 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Tim Hetherton, Library Services Director - 949-717-3801, thetherton@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Tim Hetherton, Library Services Director, thetherton(a)newportbeachca.gov PHONE: 949-717-3810 TITLE: Resolution No. 2019-91: Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park — Local Assistance Specified Grant ABSTRACT: The Fiscal Year 2019-20 California State Budget appropriates a specified grant of $500,000 for the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park. The grant guidelines require projects to be completed by December 31, 2021. To meet the time requirements, staff is proposing the grant be utilized for: 1) Phase V of the Sculpture Exhibition, currently funded in the City's FY 2019-20 Budget; 2) Phase VI, to be programmed for FY 2020-21; 3) enhanced educational programming as part of the opening of Phases V and VI; and 4) rehabilitation of the footpath in Civic Center Park. This proposal returns $135,000 of General Fund — Visit Newport Beach (VNB) Public Benefit Funding monies currently allocated in FY 2019-20. The City Arts Commission reviewed staff's proposal and instead recommends the City budget for Phase V be maintained and utilize the grant funds for Phases VI and VII of the Sculpture Exhibition through an accelerated implementation schedule. The California Department of Parks and Recreation requires City Council to approve a resolution authorizing the Library Services Director to apply for the grant funds. RECOMMENDATION: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Adopt Resolution 2019-91, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Approving Application for Specified Grant Funding for $500, 000 for the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park Project; and c) Approve a proposal to use Local Assisted Specified Grant Funds to fund either: a. Phases V and VI of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park and infrastructure improvements to Civic Center Park; or b. Phases VI and VII of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park and infrastructure improvements to Civic Center Park. 13-1 Resolution No. 2019-91: Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park — Local Assistance Specified Grant October 8, 2019 Page 2 FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: If the grant funds are utilized for Phase V and VI, General Fund contributions of $135,000 for each phase are available for other uses. The funding source for these contributions is VNB Public Benefit Funding, which is for "...expenditure on programs or activities (e.g., public art, cultural and promotional activities, beautification projects, etc.) that benefit the public, as determined by the City Council." Under the City Arts Commission's proposal, Phase V would be funded as budgeted in FY 2019-20. Phases VI (FY 2020-21) and VII (FY 2021-22) would be funded with the grant funds. The revenue and expense as proposed by the Arts Commission would be submitted as part of the regular budget process for future phases. DISCUSSION: In April 2019, Councilman Jeff Herdman, along with City Arts Commission Chair Arlene Greer, initiated a meeting with State Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie -Norris with the desired outcome of obtaining state funding for the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park. In June 2019, the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation identified the City of Newport Beach as eligible for Local Assistance Specified Grant Funding for $500,000 for the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park. The Fiscal Year 2019-20 California State Budget (budget Item 3790-101-0001(1)2(p); "$500,000 shall be available for a grant for a Sculpture Garden in the City of Newport Beach") appropriates this specified grant. City staff met with representatives from the Office of Grants and Local Services on August 13, 2019. The Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS) of the California Department of Parks and Recreation, develops and administers grant programs that provide funding for local, state, and nonprofit organization projects. Grant projects generally address park, recreation and resources related needs. OGALS determined that the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park is an appropriate use of grant funds. In order to receive the grant funding, OGALS requires the Newport Beach City Council to pass a resolution approving the filing of all applications associated with the contract. OGALS will then send a contract to the City upon receipt of the resolution. The City's authorized representative signs and returns the contract to OGALS. OGALS then signs and returns the fully executed contract to the City. The timeline to submit a grant application is the following: ■ Grantee submits an adopted resolution to OGALS by November 1, 2019; ■ The application must be submitted to OGALS by January 31, 2020; ■ The OGALS contract must be signed and submitted back to OGALS by March 31, 2020; 13-2 Resolution No. 2019-91: Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park — Local Assistance Specified Grant October 8, 2019 Page 3 ■ The project must be completed by December 31, 2021; and ■ The grant funds must be expended by June 30, 2022. At the City Arts Commission's September 12, 2019 regular meeting, staff requested that the Commission approve a proposal to use the grant to fund Phase V and Phase VI of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park at $150,000 per phase, including project management, installation/de-installation, and educational programming. Under the staff proposal, this funding source would have entirely reimbursed the $135,000 allocated by City Council for Phase V in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget and will reduce the City's contributions for Phase VI by $135,000, which was anticipated to be budgeted for FY 2020-21. The City Arts Commission could then utilize the remaining $15,000 per phase for educational programming in the Exhibition. Under staff's proposal, the City would use the remaining $200,000 for infrastructural upgrades in the park, specifically the footpath used by visitors to view the art. The City Arts Commission did not approve the staff proposal and instead formulated a request to City Council to approve the use of the grant funding for Phase VI and Phase VII of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park at $150,000 per phase. Under this proposal, the City Arts Commission would retain the $135,000 allocated by City Council in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget to fund Phase V. In order to receive the grant funds, OGALS requires that the City Arts Commission complete the project by December 31, 2021. To meet this requirement, the City Arts Commission proposes using an accelerated installation schedule for Phases VI and VII. Under this plan, Phase VI will be completed in November 2020 and Phase VII would be completed in August 2021. Because of the accelerated timeline for installation, from August 2021 until May 2022, 30 individual pieces of sculpture will be on exhibition in Civic Center Park. The City Arts Commission proposes to use the remaining funds ($200,000) to replace or upgrade the footpath that winds through the park. This infrastructure upgrade will enhance the visitor experience in the park for years to come and facilitate the installation of larger pieces on a pathway that can support their weight. The remaining $15,000 per phase would be used for educational programming. The table below delineates the timeline of the project as proposed by the City Arts Commission and the funding sources for the individual Phases- PHASE V START• November 2019 • May 2020 • $135,000 OURLC Cultural Arts budget VI June 2020 December 2020 $150,000 State Grant Path TBD TBD $200,000 State Grant VII January 2021 August 2021 $150,000 State Grant Total $635,000 13-3 Resolution No. 2019-91: Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park — Local Assistance Specified Grant October 8, 2019 Page 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

The premium for a Fidelity Bond is an eligible cost. A Fidelity Bond provides insurance covering fraudulent acts of GRANTEES' employees, volunteers, officers, and directors. The GRANTEE is the insured party. DPR must be named as a Third Party Loss Payee, i.e., the same as a mortgage company on a home loan. OGALs address is: State of California, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 942896, Sacramento, CA 94296-0001, Attn: Office of Grants and Local Services. Coverage must be at least equal to the GRANT amount. Fidelity Bond insurance must be kept current for at least six months after the date of the final GRANT payment. GRANTEES may obtain the Fidelity Bond through a general liability carrier, a major casualty insurance carrier, or a bonds specialty company. A list of Fidelity Bond frequently asked questions is available on the OGALs web site at www.parks.ca.gov/grants Three -Bid Process (For non-profit grantees only) Non-profit GRANTEES must attempt to obtain three bids before awarding a contract on a GRANT -funded PROJECT for services (greater than $5,000), and for construction work (greater than $25,000), thus ensuring state funds are spent responsibly. 1. Non-profit GRANTEE attempts to obtain three bids for services (greater than $5,000) and for construction work (greater than $25,000). 2. To ensure that bidders understand the required PROJECT elements, the non-profit GRANTEE provides each bidder (potential contractor) the same written invitation for bid describing the PROJECT work to be performed based on "Best Value" factors, and the required PROJECT elements based on the Project Scope/Cost Estimate Form, and concept level site plan. 3. Solicit bids by contacting at least three potential contractors or by invitation for bids advertising, or a combination of both methods. The non-profit GRANTEE's Board of Directors evaluates the bids to determine which contractor will provide the "best value" and will meet PROJECT requirements. "Best value" should be determined by price, quality of materials, equipment, and workmanship. The evaluation process must ensure no conflict of interest between the contractor and the non-profit GRANTEE's Board of Directors. The non-profit GRANTEE's Board of Directors need not necessarily accept the lowest bid, but a reasonable justification for the decision should be recorded in writing. 4. The Board of Directors selects a contractor and awards a contract. 5. For audit purposes, the GRANTEE keeps records of Steps 1 — 4 above. Waiver of Three -Bid Requirement The non-profit GRANTEE may request a waiver of the three -bid process requirement. To request a waiver, the GRANTEE must send a written request to the PROJECT OFFICER assigned to the GRANT PROJECT and explain why a waiver is required. 13-16 of California — The Natural Resources Agency DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Specified Grant Project Application Form PROJECT NAME REQUESTED PROJECT AMOUNT PROJECT SITE NAME and PHYSICAL ADDRESS where LAND TENURE (0 all that apply) project is located (including zip code) ❑ Owned in fee simple by applicant ❑ Available (or will be available) under a year lease or easement NEAREST CROSS STREET Project is for Acquisition ❑ Development ❑ Combination ❑ COUNTY OF PROJECT LOCATION APPLICANT NAME AND MAILING ADDRESS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE AS SHOWN IN RESOLUTION Name (typed or printed) and Title Email address Phone GRANT CONTACT - For administration of grant (if different from authorized representative) Name (typed or printed) and Title Email address Phone PROJECT SCOPE: I represent and warrant that this application packet describes the intended use of the requested grant to complete the items listed in the attached Project Scope/Cost Estimate Form.
