Mr. John David Mooney Bronson Hall University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, Indiana Submitted: "THE CONTINUOUS YOU" ($7,000 Commission) 4.

Langland 12632 Anderson Granger, Indiana Submitted: "VIOLIN WOMAN" ($250.00 First Honorable Mention Award. Judges recommend this work be commissioned if the Mooney sculpture ( "THE CONTINUOUS YOU ") is disqualified. This item was discussed in the Commission meeting of February 1, 1974 and action deferred for this meeting. Mr. auer advised these are the finalists in the Sculpture contest. The hree judge panelists felt these were outstanding in the number of 6 entries submitted. Basically, all of the contestants have 5. OLD BUSINESS (Cont'd) satisfied the committee that the winning sculptures and pieces can now be constructed within the limits of the confines of the competition -- speaking of that moneywise. We have asked Dr. Mooney to come up with some local price esti- mates based on having it fabricated here in the City and the Commission has a copy of the proposal submitted by Dr. John Mooney and Mr. Noel A. Yarger, President, North American Signs, Inc., who would be helping him fabricate "THE CONTINUOUS YOU" within the confines of the competition rules. Basically we are now set and to proceed with the engineering and financial assis- tancE the winning sculptures require and hopefully all the win- ning entries can be fabricated early this summer- -June or early July installation. There are three first place commissions which involve completed work to be installed and three honorable mentions. A stipulation was placed on the piece that came in over and above the Commission recommendation. We asked the winning artist to submit a final estimate based upon the cost of the price range. Mr. Bauer said he felt Dr. Mooney has satisifed the Committee's recommendation and all the winning contestants can fabricate theiT pieces within the price range -- $7,000. Furt er discussion followed on this subject. Moti n was made by Mr. Wiggins for the adoption of the recommenda- tion of the Sculptural Committee, seconded by Mr. Chenney, and carr ed by Mr. Wade and Rev. Williams. President Helmen requested to be placed on record that he is voting, "No" until the Sculptural Committee has an opportunity to review the changes made in THE CONTINUOUS YOU. He said in our conversation a couple of weeks ago, we taked about the con- tinuation of lighting effects and the size of it - -the width and material. We used the Sculpture Committee as a guide in helping us to make a decision and we are using their judgment and need to select these pieces, but the revised addition of THE CONTINUOUS YOU s of such importance I think that one should go back for revi w for the Sculpture Committee because it has been changed. Moon !y estimated so radically that they should have an opportunity to r view it and I will withhold my vote until we have an oppor- tunity to study it. In r ference to President Helmen's question, Mr. Bauer went into detail in explaining the changes that were requested by us. To r tain and enhance the concept of heighth to the original pro- poseJ scale, they are proposing that the 10' high sculpture unit be placed on a pedestal which is 6' in height. It will reflect the form and scope and become one with the sculpture. The total height will closely approximate the original plan and fit in well with the sca16 of the site. The pedestal will be made of polished black FA 5. JOLD BUSINESS (Cont' marble and defined as a "U" shape - -still allowing for the spectators to walk through and around the sculpture and therefore participate in it. The part of the pedestal which is parallel to and rests upon the ground will add another dimension such as a "pool of light" by receiving the light reflections from the sculpture iteslf. A further discussion was held, including comments by Mr. Langl nd. President Helmen again requested the Commissioners how they voted: All four Commissioners answered in the affirmative: Mr. John E. Chenney Yes Rev. Willie V. Williams Yes Mr. B. L. Wade Yes Mr. Donald A. Wiggins Yes President Helmen again requested his vote to be placed on record as: "No." The m tion for the awarding of the sculptures, as shown above and r commended by the Sculptural Committee, was carried by a majority vote. The $ 1000 Commission Awards are: ART METAL FORM SERIES OF METAL RECTANGLES THE CONTINUOUS YOU The $ 50.00 Honorable Mention award are: RAIN COLLECTOR SLAB ROTATION VIOLIN WOMAN 6. NEW BUSINESS .

Change Order No. l to Contract No. 2 and Supplementary A re ment: This contract is with Exterior Designing, Inc. and the Change Order is for an increase in contract amount of $30,000, Phase III, Project Indiana R -66. Commission author - izat iupplementary on is requested for this change order, along with the auth rization for the President and Secretary to execute the Agreement. Exterior Designing, Inc. had submitted their bid for Contract No. 2, in May, 1973, and by their own error, had omitted from the tase bid an amount for furnishing new maintenance equip- ment as required by Section 280, Technical Specifications of the ontract Documents. The estimated cost of said equipment plus profit to Exterior Design would be $35,000. Adding that figure to the base bid of the agent, it is still considerably below the next lowest bid. By written communications and in Commission meeting of June 22, 973, Exterior Design had agreed to purchase said maintenance equi ment on behalf of the Commission at the lowest wholesale pric available. They are to receive no commission or profit from the transaction and the sole consideration from the Com- miss on to the agent is the award of said Contract No. 2 to t e agent in amount of base bid. The purchase price and deli ery costs for said maintenance equipment may not exceed $30, 00 to the Commission. On motion by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenney and unani- mous y carried, Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. 2, and Supplementary Agreement, with Exterior Designing, Inc., for an i crease in contract amount of $30,000, Phase III, R -66, was approved and the President and Secretary authorized to exec to the documents. d.
