Location:<\/strong> Livermore, CA (Northern CA, east San Francisco Bay Area, east Alameda County)
\nArtwork:<\/strong> Sunday with Jessie<\/a> by Susan Geissler
\nMedium:<\/strong> Bronze traditional patinas with some acrylic paint
\nDimensions:<\/strong> 34\u201d tall (boy) x 45\u201d long (two figures) (Figures are attached.)
\nRequest:<\/strong>\u00a0 an estimate of maintenance costs and schedule for on-going maintenance of this new piece after initial installation
\nBackground:<\/strong> A donor has offered to contribute the above statuary to our City.\u00a0 We currently have a few small outdoor bronze or metal statuary, but none have ever been maintained.\u00a0 The above piece would be placed in a well-traveled location and would attract much attention from children and adults.\u00a0 I would expect it to be touched regularly and we would want to keep it maintained.\u00a0 We are considering contracting with a service for the maintenance of all our outdoor statuary and would issue an RFP when we are ready to move forward.\u00a0 In the meantime I need an estimate of the on-gong maintenance costs for the above piece so that our City Council can determine whether or not to accept the donation.\u00a0 I have a Tuesday, 9\/8 deadline to submit this information.
\nProviding an estimate will not obligate anyone.\u00a0 If the City accepts the donation we will move forward with the issuance of an RFP for a firm to provide the maintenance for this piece and possibly all of the City\u2019s pieces.
\nPlease let me know if you are able to help me with my request.\u00a0 I have received one estimate, but I\u2019d like to have one or two more to use as a comparison.\u00a0 The estimate that I received was for:
\nOne annual waxing of bronze elements and cleaning of painted surfaces – 3 hours
\nA second 6 monthly cleaning, and inpainting of any damages – 2-3 hours
\nAnnual report and photography – 1hour
\nThe sculptor recommended washing\/waxing at least once per year but only estimated one hour or less per event.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to overinflate my estimate of maintenance costs to my City Council and would appreciate any additional information that I can get in the next few days.
\nThanks so much,
