No. 227-1070-6466-00000 Miscellaneous Contractual Services PubicMuseum Discover • Connect • Inspire TO: Mark Rohloff, City Manager FROM: Brad Larson, Museum Director DATE: February 20, 2018 RE: Donation for Relighting Tiffany Windows BACKGROUND The majestic Tiffany windows on the landing of the grand stairs of the Sawyer home are poorly illuminated and have been scheduled for a new lighting system as soon as budgets allow. This work has been postponed several times for diverse reasons and this project was not included in the 2018 budget. In January, an anonymous donor stepped forward and offered to make the relighting a reality by making a $10,000 donation, specifying a Wisconsin firm known for this work. ANALYSIS Because Tiffany windows have thick, multiple layers of iridescent glass and were intended to be illuminated by natural sunlight rather than electrical lighting, there are only a few businesses with the expertise to properly illuminate this type of window. Heritage Lighting in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, has done many Tiffany and other stained glass windows. The donor made the donation with the understanding that this firm would be utilized to correctly illuminate the Museum's windows. In January, this firm made the necessary lighting calculations and performed a test illumination prior to submitting their proposal. FISCAL IMPACT The proposal indicates the work is estimated to cost between $8,000 and $10,000. The City has received a donation of $10,000 to fund this project, making this amendment budget neutral. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends accepting the donation, awarding the contract, and amending the 2018 Museum Membership budget. 1331 Algoma Boulevard, Oshkosh WI 54901 0 920.236.5799 • oshkoshmuseum.org 2018 Budget Amendments CDBG Revolving Loan Fund (0307) Account Description(s): Amendment 1 APPROVED AMENDMENT: 01.09.18 Res 18-04 Contractual Services TOTAL Add: Project Expenditures to include rehabilitation and down payment assistance of $800,000.00 Revolving Loan Fund Balance $800,000 $ 800,000 $ 800,000 Senior Center Building Account (0201) Account Description(s): Amendment 1 APPROVED AMENDMENT: 01.09.18 Res 18-04 Permits Other Materials TOTAL Add: Room Renovation $5,000.00 Revolving Loan Fund $5,000 $ 350 $ 4,650 $ 5,000 Public Works Special Fund (0307) Account Description(s): Amendment 2 APPROVED AMENDMENT: 01.23.18 Res 18-55 Misc.
