RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO
"AMES CIRCLE OF ARTS" SCULPTURE AGREEMENT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, in March 2002, the City Council entered into an agreement with sculptor Bill
Culbertson for creation of the "Ames Circle of Arts" artwork; and,
WHEREAS,it was originally intended that the sculpture be installed in Fall 2002,however,
challenges with the sculptor's concrete subcontractor subsequently led to contract amendments
extending the completion date—first to June and then September of 2003; and,
WHEREAS, while progress on the concrete phase is being made, the artist was unable to
meet the September deadline and is now requesting a third extension; and,
WHEREAS,his plan is to store the artwork components over the winter and install them as
soon as the ground thaws in the spring; and,
WHEREAS, given the uncertainties of springtime weather,April 30, 2004, would seem to
be an appropriate extension time frame; and,
WHEREAS, a revision is also needed to meet the payment schedule demands of the new
subcontractor.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the third agreement amendment with Bill Culbertson for the "Ames Circle of Arts" sculpture
is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 13th day of January, 2004.
