Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
1. The City of Pembroke Pines Art & Culture Division has previously recommended that the City invest in wrapping the traffic signal boxes with various works of art to bring art to public places.
2. The City of Pembroke Pines Cultural Division successfully implemented the first signal cabinet project in 2016 to bring art to public spaces which utilizes a vinyl product to wrap signalization cabinets with decorative imagery. The cabinets were wrapped in brightly colored patterns and were well received by the community which prompted a request for additional boxes to be wrapped in art.
3. On September 10, 2018 the Cultural Division issued a "Call to Artists" to provide images for consideration for nine traffic boxes. The theme for the project is based on the City's Kindness Initiative. This initiative was initiated by Mayor Frank C. Ortis and promotes awareness for kindness, compassion and forgiveness.
4. The City received over 400 images for consideration for the project. The Division Director of Cultural Arts, the Chief Curator for the Frank and the Program Coordinator for the Frank narrowed the choices down to ten for presentation to the Art & Culture Advisory Board.
5. The images attached to this agenda have been reviewed by the Board and recommended for approval.
6. The cost for the installation is $475 per cabinet, plus a flat rate installation charge of $850 for all cabinets for a total of $5,125.
7. The signalization cabinets are located at nine locations on Pines Boulevard and the following roads: Flamingo Road (two cabinets at this location), 160TH Avenue (Dykes Road), 172nd Avenue, 184th Avenue, University Drive, Douglas Road (two cabinets at this location) and 72nd Avenue.
8. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requires that a Community Aesthetic Feature Agreement (CAFA) be executed prior to installing the decorative wraps.
9. Request the City Commission adopt Proposed Resolution No. 2018-R-45 authorizing the City of Pembroke Pines to enter into the Community Aesthetic Feature Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation and approve the installation of decorative vinyl wrap on nine (9) signalization cabinets located in the seven identified intersections of Pines Boulevard.
