EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In August 2023 Commission authorized construction funding for the renovation of the historic Seattle Ship Supply Building into a cutting-edge, Living Building Challenge (LBC) certified Maritime Innovation Center (MInC) and the associated set of public space site improvements including new wayfinding and monument signage, interpretative signage, and funding public art for the two projects which include a 1% for Art investment yielding three new art works commissioned by the Port for the facility. The two artists selected for the MInC art installations, Ty Juvinel and Shogo Ota, and the artist selected for the Site Improvements, Mary Coss, are progressing on their installation designs. During the design process, the art project team requested an expanded scope for Shogo Ota’s mural and Mary Coss’ three-part bronze sculpture to best capture the rich fishing traditions of Fishermen’s Terminal and act as a beacon for the public and the industry professionals that work at the site every day. To accommodate the expanded scope of these projects, additional funds are needed. Template revised January 10, 2019. COMMISSION AGENDA – Action Item No. 10c Page 2 of 7 Meeting Date: May 28, 2024 JUSTIFICATION The Fishermen’s Terminal Redevelopment will improve a historic property that supports the maritime industry by welcoming the public to parts of the terminal that enhance the understanding and support of the industrial working waterfront. The improvements will also facilitate keeping parts of the facility focused on the industrial needs of the North Pacific Fishing Fleet. The site improvements, including the 1% for Art projects, will enhance the overall property and serve to recognize Fishermen’s Terminal as a living community landmark. Each art installation will: • Create a memorable experience. • Create a visual landmark. • Relate to and enhance the surrounding location. • Support the linkage of the site improvements and the remodeled MInC to the central commercial core of Fishermen’s Terminal primarily comprised of the Fishermen’s Center Building (C-15 Building), and the parking areas in between them. • Provide interest day and night. • Honor the tribal and commercial fishing traditions of the site. • Create an artwork that is safe for public interaction. Diversity in Contracting The MInC and Site Improvements project, including the public art component, has met the 20% of design contracts requirement required by the Living Building Challenge (LBC), and the Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for this project exceeds the LBC requirement for workforce development. In addition to meeting the LBC imperative, the Port Diversity in Contracting Department has established a 12% WMBE goal for the MInC and Public Site Improvements project. DETAILS Scope of Work 1% for Art Maritime Innovation Center: Two contracts have been executed to commission original works of Art for the MInC. • Ty Juvinel – A local Coast Salish carver, Cultural preservationist, and artist.
