Palm Springs Totem Proposal To: City of Palm Springs, California, USA Attn:Jennifer Henning From: Jason Hunt and Stan Hunt PO Box 424 Port Hardy, BC,Canada VON 2P0 250-902-8668 Re: Henry Hunt totem restoration project To whom it may concern, On behalf of my father and myself we would like to thank you for taking on this project and restoring the Henry Hunt totem. I can't tell you how excited we are to be able to do this and bring the piece back to life. We would like to propose that the work will take place from October 12th to October 20th 2015.The dates are negotiable. During this time we would restore the pole itself but also look at this as a cultural sharing opportunity. To that end we will work with the nearby school to have some of the local classes come by and see what we are doing. Ideally we would be working in an open environment that would be welcoming to the community as well. The work itself to the totem will entail: 1. Cleaning and/or stripping off the paint on the pole presently. 2. Repairing as necessary. Recarving and re-attaching the beak is the highest priority that will be started here in Canada before we go down so as to start the drying process. Any other areas that need to be carved or patched will be done on site. 3. Designing the pole to its original state as per any pictures we can find or possibly by how the surface has aged. 4. Repainting the pole to its original colours as per pictures and using our knowledge of Henry Hunts style of !, painting. As many coats as needed to achieve the desired quality with a minimum of two coats per colour. 5. Oiling of the finished product with at least two coats of a natural oil such as Danish Oil. Ideally the pole would be oiled each year so as to extend its life as long as possible. Total cost(see attached budget)is$21,000 USD.This all assumes that the pole is taken down from its site and is laying down by the time we arrive in Palm Springs. We will bring with us the new beak and extra cedar for patching as well as all of our own tools necessary for the jab.Any other supplies we will purchase on arrival. The city will provide a suitable place for us to work on the totem and will be responsible for any cost associated. A shaded area would be appropriate or if at all possible an air conditioned space. Proposed dates for the project can be extended if needed at the back end with no additional cost to the city. Henry Hunt Totem Materials List Pole is carved from old growth western red cedar. Paint used in previous restorations unknown. List of materials needed to restore: Red cedar for beak repair and patching Acrylic latex paint in original colours Natural oil for preservation- ie: Watco brand Danish Oil Brushes and other painting supplies Carving tools including adzes and knives EXHIBIT "A" (SCHEDULE OF PERFORMANCE) See attached proposal.
