FROM: Brad Larson, Museum Director
DATE: March 17, 2021
RE: Approve CIP Budget Amendment and Professional Service Agreement with Split Rock
Studios for Design Development of Deep Roots, Growing City Exhibition ($119,953)
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 Deep Roots, Growing City. This phase was completed and the Museum
adopted a conceptual design for the gallery. The next phase is design development and the Museum
anticipates beginning this work in April 2021.
CURRENT 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 Deep
Roots, Growing City. 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. Professional Service Agreement
of $119,953.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2021 Capital Improvement budget includes $100,000 (0323-1070-7206-11223) for Deep Roots, Growing
City Exhibition Design Development (p. 2021-66). There is a balance in the Sporting & Recreation Design
Dev. and Fit Out from the 2020 CIP (0323-1070-7222-63011) that is unencumbered that can cover the
amount needed above the $100,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve CIP Budget Amendment and Professional Service Agreement with Split Rock Studios for
Design Development of Deep Roots, Growing City Exhibition ($119,953).
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
