Decorative Fountain - Third Street Mall
Plans for the subject fountain have been received from
Charles Luekman Associates. This fountain, as you know,
is to be located in the 1200 block, approximately 134
feet south of Wilshire Boulevard. Construction on the
Mall project has reached the point where authority to
construct the fountain must be obtained if construction
on the Mall itself is not to be delayed.
It appears that the most practical way to accomplish the
construction of the fountain is to have the Mall con-
tractor construct the same under the terms of a Change
Order to the contract. The work covered by the Change
Order would not include the casting or placement of the
sculptured panels. This latter work would be the subject
of a Purchase Order Contract when more detailed informa-
tion is available.
A proposal of $25,965 for constructing the fountain has
been received from W. J. Shirley, the Mall contractor.
The total estimated cost of the fountain, including
sculptor's fee, casting and placement of sculpture,
architect's fee, and contingencies, is $49,465. This is
broken down as follows:

donations and will not affect the Mall assessments.

It is recommended that the City Council be requested to
authorize the following:
(1} Issuance of a Change Order covering the construction
of the decorative fountain, at a total cost of not to exceed
$25,965, with no extension of the contract completion time.
However, the Change Order will provide that, should there
be a delay beyond the control of the contractor in obtain-
ing some of the required materials, the time to complete
the fountain only will be extended accordingly. Such
extension will not affect the completion date of the basic
Mall contract.
(2} Issuance of a Purchase Order Contract for the casting
and placement of the sculptured panels at the appropriate
time.
