MANUAL
WAIVER OF INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
There will be times when it will be necessary, or in the best interest of the County, to deviate from the
standard insurance requirements specified within this manual. Recognizing this potential, and acting on
the advice of the County Attorney, the Board of County Commissioners has granted authorization to Risk
Management to waive and modify various insurance provisions.
Specifically excluded from this authorization is the right to waive:
• The County as being named as an Additional Insured—If a letter from the Insurance
Company (not the Agent) is presented, stating that they are unable or unwilling to name the
County as an Additional Insured, Risk Management has been granted the authority to waive
this provision.
and
• The Indemnification and Hold Harmless provisions
Waiving of insurance provisions could expose the County to economic loss. For this reason, every
attempt should be made to obtain the standard insurance requirements. If a waiver or a modification is
desired, a Request for Waiver of Insurance Requirements form should be completed and submitted
for consideration with the proposal.
After consideration by Risk Management and if approved, the form will be returned, to the County
Attorney who will submit the Waiver with the other contract documents for execution by the Clerk of the
Courts.
Should Risk Management deny the Waiver Request, the other party may file an appeal with the County
Administrator or the Board of County Commissioners, who retains the final decision-making authority.

Proposalfor the MURRAY E. NELSON GOVERNMENT & CULTURAL CENTER by Cris Sandifer
I was an admirer of Murray Nelson and have been looking forward to our beautiful new government center in
the Upper Keys bearing his name. Since the planning stage of this building, I have been thinking about what I
would like to see there. I feel we should have some artwork that represents the Upper Keys and draws on the
history of the area for its inspiration. I wanted something that would go beyond the typical keys subjects of
flora, fauna, water, fish, or birds.
I have decided that my theme and focus would be on "man's influence" in the Upper Keys. The base criteria of
the images would be things that have been built by man and have survived time and are here today. Things
that is available to be viewed and studied. I want these images to go beyond just the recording the subject
matter but for each of them to become a unique piece of art.
I have been researching the topic and have compiled a list of about a dozen possible subjects. I have started
photographing these sites and I am very excited about the project. Some of the locations include: The Largo
Sound Rock Castle (1920), the William Eeauregard Albury house (1913), The Pioneer's Cemetery (Etta
Pinder's Angel 1914), William Mathenson house (1919), and from the 1930's: a Red Cross house, the
Caribbean Club, a few historic sites in Tavernier including the Hotel, the Islamorada Library, from the 40s and
50s; Art Mc Kee's Treasure Museum (1949), the Jewfish Creek draw bridge and the Marvin D.Adams
Waterway. I have photographed two very old buildings on Buttonwood Bay and Jerry Wilkerson the local histo-
rian is helping me research them.
I am envisioning this series of digital paintings, based on my original photos and printed on canvas.
My concept is the series will have a total of seven paintings. Five of them would hang on the Lobby Perimeter
West Wall (35' x 8'.6") and two on the Lobby Perimeter West Wall to the Bridge (15' x 8'.6"). I think that all of
the paintings should be a uniform square canvas of 48"(approx). I feel this shape will lend itself best to the
space and the architecture of the lobby.
I would prepare a group of possible images after I have finished my research and have taken multiple photos
of each site. At this point I would like to work with an advisor from the AIPP committee to make a final decision
of which subjects would produce the most interesting and artistic set of digital paintings. It would be nice if we
can continue this working relationship until the project has been completed to satisfaction
I use a very professional fine arts printer who has the latest equipment and technology. They start with the
finest substrates, the giclee printing is done with the new Epson 11880 that has 360 nozzles per channel. They
are then coated with a scratch and UV resistant varnish. The canvas prints they produce are second to none
in terms of archival and color quality. I then take an extra step by giving the canvases a final coat of Golden
UVLS removable varnish which will increase durability, facilitate cleaning and future conservation
If my proposal is accepted, I will also be supplying a simple brochure to accompany the project. It will include
a brief history and the location of each image plus photos to identify them. I would like to have the information
available for anyone interested in the origin of the art. I will supply a few hundred of these and if more are
needed the reproduction will be very inexpensive.
Alternate Location; If the committee so chooses, these paintings could also work well in the two vestibules. It
seemed that there was actually more wall space available than just the 12' wall listed in the targeted space.
Moving the project to this area would necessiate the added cost of lighting to the price of the project. There
could be a reduction in both their size and the quantity of the pieces for this area
Thank you for your time in reviewing my proposal. I would love to have my project accepted and I would put
my heart and my creative efforts into making this a beautiful blending of art and history that could be a lasting
tribute to "man's influence" in the Upper Keys.

i
Some of the sites will need revisiting to obtain photos with out any obstructions or a better view.
Once the images are chosen, I will bring them into Photoshop to prepare them for painting. Then I
will use "Painter" to create my digital paintings. I have a vast choice of brushes and techniques that
I use in rendering the final images. This progam allows me to use brushes that work like watercol-
ors or I can create the look of a traditional oil painting. There are a few styles that I have created
that could work very well for these subjects. One effect that I have done quite successfully gives the
images the look and feel of the old-fashioned hand colored black and white photographs. I will wel-
come someone from the AIPP committee, so we can discuss the style that is best suited for the
large format reproduction and viewing from a distance.
