They should always provide the user with a sense of safety rather than fear. Location Bus shelters are usually supplied because the bus stop is supported by regular use, location of a bus shelter is important, it needs to be determined that the place is a desirable location to spend any length of time. Location is fundamentally important, not just for convenience and demand, but for personal safety. When locating the bus shelters, consider keeping them close to activity generators (other facilities). Be aware also that the choice of locations may cause activity conflict such as traffic issues due to a bus stopping to close to an intersection. Areas of entrapment Areas of entrapment often exist around bus stops. These areas should be open to prevent the opportunity for criminals to hide undetected. Vegetation should be cleared back as far as reasonable or consider the erection of an open fence this would allow for good visibility. A properly designed bus shelter allows for sightlimes in and out, deters vandalism and grafflti. If the shelter is enclosed extensive patterned glazing should be used. Reduction in glass panel size would make damage more difficult and replacement easier. If side panels are desirable advertisements that block out visibility should be prohibited. Lighting A good light level of diffused, white light evenly distributed throughout the interior, lack of glare, vandal resistant should be provided. Locating a shelter under an artificial light source has an obvious advantage, plus light spill from surrounding businesses and properties can improve the situation. Transparent roofmg materials can also be used for much better natural light penetration. The shelter design should incorporate a provision for seating and litter collection. Seating should be more for perching rather than a seating solution to discourage inappropriate use such as creating a desirable place for teenagers to hangout or perhaps a sleeping place for transients cc: Chief S. Stepp Files . ,. , BUS SHELTER PUBLIC ART REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BUS SHELTER PUBLIC ART PROGRAM CITY OF EMERYVILLE • PUBLIC ART PROGRAM TEMPORARY ART FOR CITY BUS SHELTERS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS The City of Emeryville is requesting proposals from emerging and professional artists working in two-dimensional media, or work that can be photographed for use as two- dimensional art. Examples of the latter include, but are not limited to: metal, textiles, sculpture, and installation art. Art works must be a proposal for four images related to the specific theme of the program: FLORA AND FAUNA. Each selected artist will be asked to submit four different images for installation in four (4) bus shelters throughout the city. The installation period for each artist will be four months. A written description of the proposal for the project with examples of finished work or newly completed work specifically created for the project must be submitted. Artists may present rough sketches, completed digital art work, or photos of finished two-dimensional work. The goal of the program is to creatively enliven the bus shelters with a diverse group of temporary artworks. Up to NINE (9) artists (four images each) will be selected. The total time period for the project is three years. BACKGROUND Located at the foot of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, Emeryville began over a century ago as a small tract of land north of Oakland and is now a regional retail destination and headquarters for major high-tech and biotech corporations, drawing 20,000 workers daily. It has a residential population of 8,300 representing an ethnically and culturally diverse mix of people. Artists, making up a significant percentage of the population, and the City's long-term residents and newer residents are committed to enhancing the quality of life in the community. · In 1991, the City implemented its Art in Public Places Program, an ordinance requiring certain municipal and private commercial development projects to include public art work within the projects. Since then, public artworks have been installed in over 30 privately-owned locations through the ordinance, and the City has also commissioned many publicly-owned works of art, including the Temescal Creek Park Community Mural, "Solar Rose" and "Three Spaces of Respite" at the City Hall, "Sparky" and "Pumpers" at Fire Station #2, "Neighborhood Convergence" at the Powell Street underpass, temporary art installations at Christie Park, Point Emery, and City Hall, and a utility box public art project. About the Theine: Flora and Fauna Flora and fauna is a reference to plant and wildlife. The geographical region of Emeryville is rich in flora and fauna, which includes a range of indigenous plant and animal species that have been a part of the area over time. Flora can refer to a group of a plant or a group of plants. The root of the word is floral, which means pertaining to flowers. Fauna refers to the animals of a certain region, time period, or environment. Fauna is also of Latin origin. The Roman mythological gods Fauna and Faunus were regarded as spirits of the forest. Flora and fauna may also be explained in biological and environmental terms. The study of both flora and fauna is undertaken by a number of disciplines including biology, environmental science, conservation, and landscape architecture and design. Though the specific theme signifies the region's flora and fauna, the Request for Proposals is not restricted solely to representational works or actual interpretations of plant and animal life. Abstracted, imagined and inspired variations on the theme will also be considered and welcomed. Images drawn from scientific exploration, natural history and nature in the city are a few examples of thematic extensions. As the range of interpretations are potentially quite broad, it is critical that submitting artists consider that a chief goal of this project and the Emeryville Art in Public Places Program is to create public art that inspires delight for all those who see it, while fostering awareness of the arts and the local art community in Emeryville. The installation of the works will be in bus shelters throughout Emeryville. The bus shelters will serve as art sites and offer the potential to introduce work to a new audience. GOALS The Emeryville Public Art Committee, as an advisory committee to the City Council that implements the City's public art program, developed the Bus Shelter Public Art program to increase the exposure of public art and area artists to Emeryville and the surrounding community. The goals of the Bus Shelter Public Art program, with the theme titled "Flora and Fauna," are to: • Support the design, fabrication, and installation of outdoor public art works in the city of a temporary, rather than permanent, nature. • Enhance the aesthetics and quality of the bus shelters in the city, thereby enlivening the experience for transit riders and others, as well as to encourage the use of public transportation through the installation of public art works within bus shelters. • Broaden viewers' perspectives of the opportunities created through the installation of public art. • Support the theme of the Call for Entries, "Flora and Fauna." • Encourage a variety of art forms and increase the understanding and enjoyment of public art by Emeryville residents and employees. • Stimulate critical thinking by viewers and artists by selecting art works with an • .. evocative and compelling theme which will be displayed on a rotating basis. Artists Eligibility Requirements This project is open to both emerging and professional artists over 18 years of age who reside or work in Emeryville. Students over 18 years of age who attend a school or an educational training institution in Emeryville are also eligible to submit. Program Overview Each artist or artist team will be selected for four installation sites in designated bus shelters throughout the city. As some sites may require back-to-hack printing, selected images may be used more than once. The four locations are as follows: 1) Shellmound Street serving the southerly direction, near Bay Street; 2) Powell and Commodore on the bay side of street; 3) San Pablo and 40th on the Southwest side of street; and 4) San Pablo and 40th, Northeast corner. The selected images will be printed by a fine arts printer retained by the City, and these art works will be exhibited concurrently as a series by one artist for a four-month period, to occur during the program period from 2009-2012. The actual dates of the installation will be determined by the City. The four images will be reproduced as high quality 69" high x 48" wide (view area: 60" high by 45" wide) prints for installation in the bus shelters. Submissions must fit within the required area and be able to be reproduced at the indicated scale. In addition, two approximately 40" x 30" sets of each of the four images will be given to the artist or artist team. Two remaining smaller scale sets will be printed. These two smaller scale sets as well as any of the larger scale prints which are in good condition at the end of the installation will be granted to a nonprofit entity or entities that support(s) visual arts or arts education in Emeryville. Project Budget and Artist's Scope of Services The total amount available for each set of four images is $4,000 ($1 ,000/image ). This amount must cover all expenses including development of proposals, insurance, and images. For digital submissions, any related file preparation including all embedded images and fonts that are required for submission must be covered by the artists. Costs for any additional digital file preparation and photography costs for final art preparation of non-digital work will be provided by the City. The artist or artist team will remain the sole owner of the copyright of all images for the art work, before, during, and after installation. The City will retain the right to use the artwork for the purposes of its Public Art Bus Shelter program and related publicity of the project and the City of Emeryville Art in Public Places Program, and will retain the right to print additional artwork for repair or reuse. The artist will agree to not reproduce the selected images for any other purpose during the period of the program and will agree not to sell the selected images to any other persons or entities during the time frame that is designated for the installation of their work. Artwork that was sold or used for other purposes either one-time or in a replicable format will not be considered, and any artwork that is discovered to be as such after submittal, will be disqualified and any fees paid will be immediately refundable to the City. Selection Process Phase One A five-member Selection Panel will be formed, composed of individuals from the Emeryville Public Art Committee, arts professionals, the community-at-large, and City staff. The Selection Panel will review submissions and may select up to nine finalists. The proposals will be reviewed for issues including, but not limited to, artistic excellence and appropriateness to the proposed theme. The finalists may be asked for further information or modification of their proposals after this review. Phase Two The Selection Panel's recommendations will be forwarded to the City's Public Art Committee for review and consideration. Upon approval by the Public Art Committee, the proposals will be brought to City Council for review and approval and the City will enter into contracts with the artists individually. · Artists may submit proposals for one or more series installations, but are not guaranteed to be selected for more than one time period. Criteria for the selection process include, but are not limited to: • Artistic excellence • Appropriateness of images in support of the theme, "Flora and Fauna" • Potential of the work to spark the viewer's interest in public art. All applicants must read and acknowledge acceptance of the terms of the City's public art contract prior to responding to this Request for Proposals. The terms of the contract are non-negotiable and failure to accept the terms of the contract will result in disqualification from the project at the design proposal phase. The contract may be found at online at the City of Emeryville's website.

If successful, this project has the potential to expand to Include passenger shelters at upcoming sites related to future development projects. ARTWORK COMMISSION An artist is sought to design, fabricate, and install a passenger shelter as a component of a larger shopping center project which is currently under construction. The passenger shelter design should take into consideration the architecture of the shopping center, be fully accessible (comply with standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act-ADA), have solar lighting, and Include a bike rack and sheltered seating. As the new passenger shelter will replace an existing shelter, the design should take Into account the existing concrete foundation {approximately 9'0" x 87"). The shel~er must be constructed to meet all applicable Florida building codes-such as wind load requirements (reference , Section 1609, Wind Loads,}, as well as local (County and/or Oty of Seminole) permitting requirements. Proposed designs should serve as functional shelters for PSTA riders, as well as, quality works of public art. Designs are not limited to a specific theme.

Shelters must be able to hold a minimum of 3 people as well as a 30ft x 48" wheelchair clear space, and be responsive to ADA requirements. Within the shelter, there is a need for a space to mount a 36" x 48" panel that will include a map and bus schedule Information. PSTA will supply and install this panel. This Is the first passenger shelter using public art in Pinellas County. There are two additional bus stops In the same area that are under consideration for artist designed passenger shelters. It Is possible that this initial passenger shelter commission will lead into additional commissions. PROJECT GOALS The following project goals will help guide the selection of the commissioned artwork: 1. Promotes the City of Seminole and the PSTA transit system. 2. Shelter Is 'of an original, site-specific design. 3. Shelter Is fabricated In a safe, durable, low maintenance material that will withstand direct contact with the public and the harsh outdoor Florida environment (sun, humidity, salt, and wind load). 4.

Our goal is to foster a level of quality which will be admired by the community, regardless of the age group that created the artwork. In general, we ask that participants submit a design with their application form. Occasionally we make exceptions, like when an artist will be working with students for an allotted amount of time and is planning on having the students help develop the theme and design. Your bus shelter mural design should be in the same shape (horizontal, vertical, etc.) as the panels in your first choice bus shelter. Label your designs so that we understand the intended arrangement of your mural panels. Most murals are painted on the lower panels of the bus shelter. If the bus shelter is against a blank wall or wood panels already exist in the upper back section of the bus shelter, your design should include the upper panels, too. A "checkerboard" pattern of 1/2 glass and 1/2 wood can be proposed for the design of the upper back section of the shelter to allow for both visibility and painted areas. A unified theme that covers all the wood panels in the bus shelter works best. All of the panels, once installed in the bus shelter, create a single artwork that is the sum of all the panels. If each panel is an individual stand-alone style of artwork, add a border or some element that ties the panels together as one artwork. Design your mural for all viewable sides. Bus shelter murals have used northwest, environmental, historical and cultural themes. The better your mural relates to the site, the better it will be received in that community. Abstract, surreal and stylistic artists have also created many interesting and successful projects. Color and · composition are perhaps the two most important factors we have found for creating attractive projects, regardless of the age group or style of art. Artists who http:/ /transit.metrokc.gov/prog/sheltermural/sm _ design.html 1/20/2009 •' J ' • Bus Shelter Mural Program -Design Ideas Page 2 of2 paint with aerosol (spray) paint have also created a number of striking murals. In creating your design, keep in mind that your mural's most frequent viewers are people traveling in vehicles. Large designs with bright colors work best on the panels facing the street, for viewers in vehicles. Remember to step back and view your design from a distance, some elements of your design should be recognizable from a distance of about 60 feet. Smaller, h'ltrlcate and subtle designs should be kept to panels that face away from the street, to create Interest for people walking by or waiting for the bus. When you look at your bus shelter, note any obstacles that could block areas of your mural and plan your design accordingly. Advertising or offensive images cannot be included in the design. Metro reserves the right not to display the artwork if the quality is less than what Metro feels Is appropriate for a public bus shelter site.
