RE: Professional Service Agreement with Split Rock Studios for Design Development
of the Sporting & Recreation Exhibition
BACKGROUND
In the spring of 2019 the Museum began conceptual planning with Split Rock Studios on a long-
term exhibition devoted to the theme of Sporting & Recreation. This phase is drawing to close
and the Museum will shortly adopt a conceptual design for the gallery. The next phase is design
development and the Museum anticipates beginning this work in November 2019.
ANALYSIS
The Museum has worked with Split Rock Studios on other exhibitions and has a superb
working relationship with the firm, which is why they were selected for the conceptual
planning phase of Sporting & Recreation. It is most efficient and logical to move seamlessly into
the design development phase with the same firm. They created the conceptual design, know
the building systems, the artifacts and storyline, and have a working relationship with the
Museum staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2019 Capital Improvement budget includes$75,000 for the Sporting & Recreation Concept
Plan and Design Development (p. 2019-31). There is a balance of$57,500 unencumbered.
RECOMMENDATION
The Museum recommends the approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Split Rock
Studios for $30,500 for the Design Development of the Sporting & Recreation exhibition.
