TOPIC: PUBLIC ART PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$250,000 WITH LOCAL EDITION MARKETING, LLC TO IMPLEMENT A PUBLIC ART
PROGRAM FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL FOR
THE DOWNTOWN SAN RAFAEL ARTS DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Professional Services Agreement in an amount not to exceed $250,000 between the City of San Rafael
and Local Edition Marketing, LLC to develop and implement a public art program funded by a grant from
the California Arts Council for the Downtown San Rafael Arts District.
BACKGROUND:
The Arts and Culture Element of the San Rafael General Plan contains policies and programs to
stimulate the local economy through arts. These include but are not limited to Policy AC-1.5: Public Art
and Program AC-1.8A: Arts District which directs the City to “[L]everage the Downtown San Rafael Arts
District designation to encourage, promote, and support arts activities, attract visitors and business
patrons, promote equity and inclusivity, and create a more welcoming and exciting downtown
environment; and encourage multi-disciplinary art activities and events that showcase local talent and
provide opportunities for all residents to experience the arts.”
The Economic Development Strategic Plan (2023) provides tactical recommendations on business
attraction and retention through place-making, including Action Item 4.5, which directs the City to
“Coordinate with arts organizations to integrate arts programming with events and economic
development initiatives, building upon the Cultural Arts District designation” and Action Item 2.5, to
“Invest in other enhancements such as gateway signage and wayfinding, public art, thematic street and
sidewalk enhancements, and public open space.”
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
In 2017 and again in 2023, the California Arts Commission (CAC) selected the Downtown San Rafael
Arts District (DSRAD) as one of fourteen State of California designated art districts. Furthermore, in
2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 15199 to accept a CAC grant of $671,429 for Fiscal Years
(FY) 2023-2026. In 2024, the City entered into a grant amendment to expand the grant scope and budget
by $38,461 to a total of $709,890. This CAC grant creates the opportunity to make significant
investments in the City’s cultural infrastructure.
In November 2024, the City Manager entered into agreements with the following DSRAD stakeholder
organizations (Stakeholders) to implement the objectives of the CAC grant: Art Works Downtown (AWD),
San Rafael Downtown Business Improvement District (Downtown BID), Youth in Arts (YIA), and the
California Film Institute (CFI) and Marin Society of Artists (MSA)). The Stakeholder organizations have
met monthly over the last several years to develop a strategic plan, funding criteria to expend CAC grant
funds, and implement arts activities in alignment with the CAC grant objectives.
The City’s Public Art Review Board helps administer public art on City property, including reviewing
public art proposals and advising the City Council on public art installations. On April 30, 2025, staff
provided an informational report on the Public Art Program to the City’s Public Art Review Board, where
Advisory Board members provided feedback to staff on the program design. Staff then provided a
program overview at a public meeting of the City Council’s Economic Development Subcommittee on
June 11, 2025 where Councilmembers and members of the public provided input to staff.
ANALYSIS:
Public Art Program Goals
The goal of the Public Art Program is to enhance economic vitality Downtown with the addition of new
culturally responsive and artistically significant public artworks on public property. Additional goals for
the program are to:
•Enhance public awareness of San Rafael as the arts hub of Marin County;
•Support economic development through creative placemaking and activation of the creative
economy;
•Reflect the diverse local community and landscape;
•Engage multiple stakeholders and community segments; and
•Improve City properties for the benefit of public enjoyment.
The proposed Public Art Installation Program is intended to achieve these goals through the selection
and installation of five new public art installations in the DSRAD geographic area (Figure 1). The project
will occur substantially over a 12-month period, from June 2025 through June 2026, with the potential
for art installations to occur in 2027, pending project refinement. Anticipated artworks will include
permanent murals, mosaics, and temporary or permanent sculptural pieces.
The goals of the Public Art Program align with the City’s FY 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, including Goal
A.3.1 to “Deliver placemaking elements through funded public art projects in the Downtown San Rafael
Art District” and Goal A.1.3 to “Drive local economic activity through promotion of destination tourism,
enhancing special events, and optimizing city-owned assets by leveraging targeted marketing
initiatives.”
Location Selection
The program is proposed to be implemented within the boundaries of the Downtown Precise Plan area
(Figure 1). City staff from multiple departments collaborated to identify suitable City-owned properties
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
for potential mural or sculpture installations that can occur within the CAC grant timeline. Evaluation
criteria included high visibility, locations where City maintenance costs could be reduced with
improvements, and physical readiness. Preliminary project locations identified include the following:
•Project #1: Court Plaza 1000 4th Street
•Project #2: C Street @ 3rd Street Garage
•Project #3: 2nd @ Ida Street Retaining Wall
•Project #4: 2nd & 4th Street Project Lane Divider
•Project #5: Outside City Hall
Final site selection will be at the direction of the City Council, with the opportunity to prioritize factors
such as high visual impact, maintenance, and diversity of potential art concepts.

Consultant Selection
To effectively manage and curate the program, the DSRAD issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in
January 2025, seeking qualified arts consultants to oversee the program. The DSRAD received ten
responses to the RFP, from which the DSRAD interviewed five firms. Ultimately, in March 2025, the
DSRAD selected Local Edition Marketing (Local Edition) to lead the program's development and
execution from June 2025 through June 2026. Local Edition was selected for their substantial experience
in the Bay Area and beyond, overseeing and managing the work of mural artists, sculpture fabricators,
installers, and other contractors in the implementation of public art. Local Edition received the 2024
Helen Putnam Award for Excellence for Economic Development through the Arts for the City of Concord,
CA. They also curate the Mare Island Art Yard. Local Edition has demonstrated the ability to deliver art
and placemaking strategies paired with strategic approaches to community involvement and marketing.

Consultant Scope of Work
Staff recommends contracting with Local Edition to provide full-service art consulting, including but not
limited to:
•Strategic planning and project management;
•Site evaluation and final selection of up to five artwork locations;
•Issuing a Call for Artists and managing the artist selection process;
•Coordinating public engagement, including creative communication through digital media,
photography, and video;
•Assisting City staff in the review and approval process; and
•Overseeing contracting, installation, and project documentation.
A detailed scope of work, program budget, and timeline is included in Exhibit A to Attachment 2 of this
staff report. An illustrative project timeline is provided below (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Implementation Process and Timeline
Public Art Program: Artist Selection and Community Engagement
As an essential element of program implementation, Local Edition will be responsible for guiding the
artist selection and community engagement processes to ensure the project reflects the diverse local
community and landscape of San Rafael. Local Edition will publish a compelling and inclusive Call for
Artists that outlines the program’s vision and eligibility, with the intent of attracting both emerging and
well-known artists to the San Rafael project. An artist selection committee — which may include DSRAD
stakeholders, City staff, and/or other stakeholders — will then review submissions and select two semi-
finalists for each identified location.
Local Edition, in collaboration with City staff, will conduct a public engagement campaign to promote
project awareness of the program. Outreach methods will include information on the City’s Public Art
webpage, promotions via community partner newsletters, arts-focused social media channels, and
tabling at Downtown events during the Summer and Fall of 2025. To gather specific feedback on artistic
concepts presented by the semi-finalists, Local Edition will launch digital surveys and receive feedback
through in-person tabling. Community feedback will help identify preferred themes, styles, and concepts.
Following the public input period, the selection committee will recommend the final artwork for each site.
Local Edition will compile and submit these proposals to the City’s Public Art Review Board, which will
then make formal recommendations to the City Council for final review and approval in a public meeting,
in alignment with the City’s established public art review process.
Program Budget
City staff worked with DSRAD Stakeholders to identify an appropriate scope and corresponding budget
for the Public Art Program. The DSRAD recommends a total of $250,000 to be spent on the program to
complete five substantial permanent and temporary public art projects.

verifications as defined in this Exhibit B.
A. Scope of Coverage. During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall
maintain, at no expense to CITY, the following insurance policies:
1. Commercial general liability. A commercial general liability insurance policy in the
minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, for death, bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage.
2. Automobile liability. An automobile liability (owned, non-owned, and hired
vehicles) insurance policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence.
3. Professional liability. If any licensed professional performs any of the services
required to be performed under this Agreement, a professional liability insurance policy in the
minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, to cover any claims arising out of the CONSULTANT's performance of
services under this Agreement. Where CONSULTANT is a professional not required to have a
professional license, CITY reserves the right to require CONSULTANT to provide professional
liability insurance pursuant to this section.
4. Workers’ compensation. If it employs any person, CONSULTANT shall maintain
workers’ compensation insurance, as required by the State of California, with statutory limits, and
employer’s liability insurance with limits of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
accident for bodily injury or disease. CONSULTANT’s workers’ compensation insurance shall
be specifically endorsed to waive any right of subrogation against CITY.
B. Other Insurance Requirements. The insurance coverage required of the
CONSULTANT in subparagraph A of this section above shall also meet the following requirements:
1. Except for professional liability insurance or workers’ compensation insurance, the
insurance policies shall be specifically endorsed to include the CITY, its officers, agents, employees,
and volunteers, as additional insureds (for both ongoing and completed operations) under the policies.
2. The additional insured coverage under CONSULTANT’s insurance policies shall be
“primary and noncontributory” with respect to any insurance or coverage maintained by CITY and
shall not call upon CITY's insurance or self-insurance coverage for any contribution. The “primary
and noncontributory” coverage in CONSULTANT’S policies shall be at least as broad as ISO form
CG20 01 04 13.
3. Except for professional liability insurance or workers’ compensation insurance, the
v 08.22 B-8
insurance policies shall include, in their text or by endorsement, coverage for contractual liability and
personal injury.
4. By execution of this Agreement, CONSULTANT hereby grants to CITY a waiver
of any right to subrogation which any insurer of CONSULTANT may acquire against CITY by
virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. CONSULTANT agrees to obtain any
endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies
regardless of whether or not CITY has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the
insurer.
5. If the insurance is written on a Claims Made Form, then, following termination of this
Agreement, said insurance coverage shall survive for a period of not less than five years.
6. The insurance policies shall provide for a retroactive date of placement coinciding
with the Effective Date of this Agreement.

of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be
endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and noncontributory
basis for the benefit of CITY (if agreed to in a written contract or agreement) before CITY’S own
insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
8. It shall be a requirement under this Agreement that any available insurance proceeds
broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits
shall be available to CITY or any other additional insured party. Furthermore, the requirements for
coverage and limits shall be: (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in this Agreement; or (2)
the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds available
to the named insured; whichever is greater. No representation is made that the minimum insurance
requirements of this Agreement are sufficient to cover the obligations of the CONSULTANT under
this Agreement.

with the Services, who is brought onto or involved in the performance of the Services by
CONSULTANT, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of CONSULTANT,
except as with respect to limits. CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage
and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this Agreement. CONSUTLANT agrees that upon request by CITY, all
agreements with, and insurance compliance documents provided by, such subcontractors and
others engaged in the performance of Services will be submitted to CITY for review.
10. CONSULTANT agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any
party involved in any way with the Services reserves the right to charge CITY or CONSULTANT
for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any such provisions are
to be deleted with reference to CITY. It is not the intent of CITY to reimburse any third party for
the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against CITY for
payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
C. Deductibles and SIR’s. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in
v 08.22 B-9
CONSULTANT's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the CITY and shall not
reduce the limits of liability. Policies containing any self-insured retention (SIR) provision shall
provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be satisfied by either the named insured or CITY
or other additional insured party. At CITY's option, the deductibles or self-insured retentions with
respect to CITY shall be reduced or eliminated to CITY's satisfaction, or CONSULTANT shall
procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claims administration,
attorney’s fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide to the PROJECT MANAGER
all of the following: (1) Certificates of Insurance evidencing the insurance coverage required in this
Agreement; (2) a copy of the policy declaration page and/or endorsement page listing all policy
endorsements for the commercial general liability policy, and (3) excerpts of policy language or
specific endorsements evidencing the other insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement.
CITY reserves the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements from
