Item C12BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: March 19, 2008 Division: Facilities Maintenance
Bulk Item: Yes XX No Staff Contact Person: John King
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of retroactive contract for artist services for the African
Cemetery Memorial Project and modification of County purchasing policy.
ITEM BACKGROUND: At the July 11, 2007 meeting of DAC 1, the County's facilities maintenance department
filed an application for a bricks and mortar capital projects grant. The purpose of the grant was to construct a memorial on
the site of the African Cemetery on Higgs Beach which contains the remains of African slaves, freed at sea by the U.S.
Coast Guard, who perished here while awaiting transport back to Africa. The concept and design presented to DAC 1 at the
July 11, 2007 meeting was rendered by the African Cemetery Memorial Committee headed by Ms. Norma Jean Sawyer.
The application and the design which were approved are attached. DAC 1 approved an overall budget of $118, 500 for the
project. Of the overall budget, $15,000 is earmarked for Artist Fees and $10,000 for Project Coordination, Research and
Expenses. The concept approved by DAC 1 includes specific artist's renderings and designs. Design elements include
ornate fencing, concrete engravings, memorial plaques and artistic renderings depicting the journey form Africa to the
United States among others. Upon approval by the DAC, the memorial committee began moving forward with design
work. Due to miscommunication there was a misunderstanding between the memorial committee and the County regarding
which services were being offered on a voluntary basis and which services were to be contracted. Staff is seeking to correct
the misunderstanding and enter in to a contract for the artist's services. In addition, since DAC 1 approved this specific
artist's renderings and design and artist renderings and designs are unique to a given artist, staff believes it would be
appropriate to modify the County's purchasing policy in order to directly enter in to an agreement with Professor Dinizula
Gene Timue, the artist involved in the original concept and who rendered the approved design. The artist will be expected
to perform the research necessary and to finalize the drawings/design based on the concept approved by DAC 1. Once the
design work is completed, since the actual work itself involves the erection of a fence, engraving of concrete, casting of
plaques, etc., the County will then issue an RFP for the actual work at the memorial site. The artist will assist the County
with preparation of project specifications and will assist with preparation of the RFP as well as work sequencing. Total fees
for the artist will not exceed the $25,000 budgeted for artist fees, research and project coordination.

characteristics for which the property is considered to be significant. Sufficient property
should be acquired to assure that the historic relationship of a structure or archaeological
site to its surrounding environment is preserved. However, it is important that no more
property than is necessary to achieve established preservation objectives be included in
the acquisition project application. As this factor is crucial to favorable consideration of
your grant application and will have substantial impact on the cost of the required
application documentation, we encourage prospective applicants to consult with the staff of
