Artist, full documentation of such costs shall be submitted to the City in writing and
subject to approval by the City. Upon approval, such increased costs shall be paid to

5. Artist's Rights: City's Ownership Rights.
5.1 Alterations. The City, having expended considerable public funds to
commission the Artwork, and pursuant to its governmental and proprietary
responsibilities, intends to display the Artwork at the Site as originally created by
Artist and to maintain the Artwork in good condition. The City must preserve
complete flexibility to operate and manage City property in the public's interest.
Therefore, City retains the absolute right to alter the Artwork in City's sole judgment.
For example, City may alter the Artwork to eliminate hazard, to comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA), to otherwise aid City in the management of its
property and affairs, or through neglect or accident. If, during or after the term of this
Agreement, City finds the Site to be inappropriate, City has the right to cause the
3
the Artwork to be installed at an alternate location that City chooses in its sole
reasonable discretion.
5.2 Waiver. With respect to the Artwork produced under this Agreement,
Artist waives any and all claims, arising at any time and under any circumstances,
against City, its officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns, arising under
the federal Visual Artists Rights Act(17 U.S.C. §§106A and 113(d)),the California Art
Preservation Act(Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq.), and any other local, state,federal or
international laws that convey rights of the same nature as those conveyed under 17
U.S.C. §106A, Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq., or any other type of moral right
protecting the integrity of works of art. If the Artwork is incorporated into a building or
the Site such that the Artwork cannot be removed from the building or Site without
alteration of the Artwork, Artist waives any and all such claims against any future
owners of the Site, and its agents, officers and employees, for alteration of the
Artwork.
5.3 Good Faith. Where time permits, prior to altering the Artwork, City shall
make reasonable good faith efforts to notify and consult with Artist, at the last phone
number or address provided by Artist to the City, and to come to a mutually
agreeable plan for disposition of the Artwork. Such consultation shall be without
charge by Artist unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. If the Artwork is
altered and City intends to maintain the Artwork on display, City shall make a
reasonable good faith effort to engage Artist in the restoration of the Artwork and to
compensate Artist for Artist's time and efforts at fair market value, which may be the
subject of a future agreement between Artist and City. However, City has no
obligation under this Agreement to restore the Artwork to its original condition or to
compensate Artist for any restoration work. If Artist fails or refuses to negotiate with
City in good faith with respect to any restoration, City may contract with any other
qualified art conservator or artist for such restoration.
5.4 Disclaimer. If City alters the Artwork without Artist's consent in a
manner that is prejudicial to Artist's reputation, Artist retains the right to disclaim
authorship of the Artwork in accordance with California Civil Cade §987(d) and 17
U.S.C. §106A(a)(2).
6. Artists' Warranties/Waivers.

workmanship or materials which cause the Artwork, or the installation, to deteriorate
over said twelve (12) month period in a manner inconsistent with the design, the
approved plans and specifications or as would otherwise be expected from products
made of similar materials, or from any quality within the materials which comprise the
4

combination, result in the tendency of the Artwork, or their installation, to deteriorate.

Artwork, or the installation, incorporate no feature which is a danger to the public
such as sharp edges or points. The City shall review the Artwork and installation
plans and shall request any modification relative to public safety prior to installation.
Any modifications requested by the City shall be governed pursuant to Section 1.3
above. Should hazards in relation to the apparent after installation, City shall have
the right to make adjustments and modifications thereto to eliminate such hazards.

the Artwork, if necessary, to eliminate other hazards which become apparent within
one (1) year of the date the Artwork is finally accepted by City. City shall solely bear
the cost of any such modifications and responsibility for any injury caused by the
Artwork to any member of the public.

consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other
party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act unless such consent or approval
is memorialized in writing. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing
and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other
provision of this Agreement-

expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of

times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.

trademark, service mark, or trade dress rights in connection with the Artwork, City
shall have an exclusive and irrevocable right in such trademark, service mark, or
trade dress. Artist may not use the Artwork in any manner that would cause a
likelihood of confusion as to source or sponsorship by City, its agents or assigns, or

execute or authorize another to execute another work of the same or substantially
similar image, design, dimensions, and materials as the Artwork. Artist may create

assigns. In the case where Artist is comprised of two or more individual persons ora
group of people, the measuring life shall be the life of the last surviving individual

warranty, City shall be entitled to enjoin Artist's breach.

and if the resale value of the Artwork is not itemized separately from the value of the

other law requiring the payment of resale royalties. If City sells the Artwork as an
individual piece, separate from or itemized as part of a real property transaction, City
shall pay to Artist a resale royalty to the extent required by law, based upon the sale

Artwork Specifications and Instructions
The Artist proposal and specifications for the artwork titled 'Red Echo" is as follows:
General Description: The Artwork was fabricated by the artist, Konstantin Dimopoulos, at
his studios located in Melbourne, Australia and New Zealand.
The Artwork is a kinetic sculpture created with high-performance composite rods of varying
height. The sculpture is fabricated in the color of red which is embedded in the individual
rods. The rods range in height from 11.5 — 23 feet and will be secured into an 8x8 foot
reinforced concrete base. Artist will fabricate a precast concrete base with stainless steel
voids into which the sculptural rods will be embedded.
Maintenance: The City will assume maintenance responsibility once the Artwork is installed.
The sculpture will need to be washed down 2 to 4 times per year using a regular water
spray. The rods are tissue coated and in a temperate environment can last 10 to 12 years
before recoating with a clear UV-resistant polyurethane resin. However, in harsh
environments such as Palm Springs an initial recoating may be required after 3 to 5 years_
The Artist recommends that the rods in the sculpture be recoated no later than 4 years after
installation after which the rods are unlikely to need another coating of resin for 10 more
years. The Artist, will provide the specifications for the resin to the City upon installation.
One of a Kind: The sculpture is unique and will not be reproduced. The Artist has produced
an electronic maquette which will be provided to the City of Palm Springs.
Costs: The $44,790 cost includes all materials to fabricate the sculpture and delivery from
Melbourne, Australia to the Port of Los Angeles.
City Responsibility: The City is responsible for payment of all associated costs for marine
insurance during transport from Australia to the Port of Los Angeles, duties and port fees at
the port of entry, transportation of artwork from the Port of Los Angeles to Palm Springs,
crane rental, lighting fixtures and installation, landscaping at the site, artist travel and
accommodations.
Timeline: The sculpture will be shipped immediately afterthe execution of this Agreement by
all parties.
