A Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Independent Contractor Agreement with J. Graham, LLC. for the Viaduct Art Installation to Change the not to Exceed Amount from $235,000 to $295,000 and Authorizing its Execution
end
Introduction
overview
In 2024, the Village approved an agreement with Graham Carraway for the fabrication, installation, and purchase of an art installation under the viaduct on Oak Park Avenue as part of the streetscape project. Costs for materials and fabrication have exceeded the originally agreed-upon amount. The increased costs are a result of delays outside the artist's control, including deferring construction of the streetscape project from 2025 to 2026 and the timelines associated with getting the mural artwork approved by the Oak Park Area Arts Commission. This amendment increases the contract by $60,000 and adjusts the agreement amount from $235,000 to $295,000.
