LLC in the Not-to-Exceed Amount of $90,000 for the Design Development,
Fabrication and Installation of Artwork Associated With the Charleston-
Arastradero Corridor Project

Lead Department: Community Services
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute
contract number C17166591 (Attachment A) with Susan Zoccola, LLC for the design,

Corridor Project.
Executive Summary
The City of Palo Alto’s Public Art Program manages the public art in municipal project
funds transferred annually as part of the budget cycle in accordance with Ordinance
Number 5301, Municipal Code 2.26.070 (Public Art for Municipal Projects). Due to the
high visibility of the Charleston-Arastradero Corridor Project and multiple opportunities
to incorporate artwork, staff initiated the artist selection process in March of 2016. After
reviewing the qualified artists in the Public Art pre-qualified pool, staff presented the
work of twenty different artists to a selection panel composed of the project Landscape
Architect Linda Gates, Cubberley artist Charles Coates, community member Lynda
Lumish, Assistant Director of Community Services Rhyena Halpern who oversees the
Arts & Science Division, and Public Art Commission Chair Jim Migdal. From that
selection panel, five artists were selected for an interview. Once the interviews were
completed, Susan Zoccola was selected as the artist for the project. The Public Art
Commission approved Susan Zoccola as the project artist at its September 15, 2016
meeting.
Background
The Charleston-Arastradero Corridor is a high volume, 2.3 mile roadway serving 11
schools, several parks, shopping centers, commercial uses, a library, day care centers,
City of Palo Alto Page 2
non-profit organizations, and two community centers. The corridor extends from East
Charleston Road at Fabian Way to Arastradero Road at Gunn High School.
Trial striping plans were previously implemented on Charleston Road in 2006 and on
Arastradero Road in 2010 and were approved for permanent retention in 2008 and
2012 respectively. The final phase of the project will install new landscaped medians,
corner bulb-outs, green bike lanes, and other enhanced bicycle and pedestrian
improvements consistent with the existing striping/roadway configuration. The final
phase will also identify opportunities for potential “green infrastructure” features to
remove pollutants from storm water and reduce storm water runoff.
Extensive public outreach was done to develop the preferred concept plan line to add
the landscaping and pedestrian/bicycle improvements to the corridor. The City hosted
four community workshops and presented the plan twice to the Palo Alto Pedestrian
and Bicycle Advisory Committee while developing a preferred plan line concept that was
unanimously approved by both the Planning and Transportation Commission and the
City Council.
Following the approval of the concept plan line by City Council in September 2015, the
design team began working on the final design for implementation in the spring of
2017. A community workshop was hosted in March 2016 to gain public input on the
proposed landscaping plans and planting palette. The landscaping plans presented for
comment at the meeting can be can be accessed
here:http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/51412. Comments
received at this most recent meeting mostly were to focus on the plants as the
aesthetic part of the project and to not clutter the corridor with unnecessary signage, or
other streetscape elements. Residents also expressed concern about sight triangles that
need to be improved at key intersections and the desire for consistency in in signage
throughout the corridor.
Discussion:
The estimated construction budget is $9 Million, with construction forecast for fiscal
years FY 2017- FY 2019, creating an estimated public art budget of $90,000. Although
the construction is planned to be phased, the final design for the entire corridor will be
completed soon. With this in mind, it is essential to get the project artist on board as
soon as possible so that the artwork can be seamlessly integrated into the design and
construction of the project.
Timeline, Resource Impact, and Policy Implications
The project is expecting 65% design plans at the end of January, and getting the artist
integrated into the design team early is essential for a smooth process as well as to
allow for opportunities to leverage items in the construction budget for artwork. The
artist will plan to begin work on the project as soon as the contract is approved. The
artwork(s) will be installed in coordination with the overall construction project.
City of Palo Alto Page 3
The funds in the amount of $90,000 for the contract will come from the pooled percent
for art funds allocated to the Public Art Program associated with the Public Art for
Municipal Projects Ordinance. The Ordinance Number 5301, Municipal Code 2.26.070
(Public Art for Municipal Projects) requires that 1% of the CIP budget for municipal
projects is allocated for the commission of public art.
