Thank you for creating this artistic creative design opportunity. I am excited to participate in the bid process for this competition. Please accept the following as an application/expression of interest for:
City of Prince Albert Call For Artist Concept - 2nd Avenue Art Installation Prince Albert, SK as advertised.
Deadline: Wednesday April 21, 2021 2:30p.m.

1.0 Expression of Interest
1.1 Project Description & Summary
Public art has the ability to inspire, engage and connect people in extraordinary ways. The City of Prince Albert supports an Art and Culture program and policies that allow artists of all mediums, skill types and abilities to develop their crafts and create works that are truly inspiring. This particular opportunity is of interest because it aligns with my skillset as a multi-medium artist and combines my technical expertise as a multi-disciplined and creative designer and technical consultant of more than thirty years, into one single scope of work.
This expression of interest proposes to design, develop, construct and install a collection of five (5) double-sided, open-faced, artistic fence panels (in duplicate), similar to the five concepts shown herein. The scenes are technically complex but simple in appearance, are aesthetically pleasing, and incorporate bright and bold color palettes and textures intended to stand out against the existing natural backdrop. For technical reasons, lighting is not considered at this time, but is open for discussion and can be revisited during the Detailed Design Phase. Each panel location is made up of two decorative interior panels, (one on each side of the fence), and a decorative outer face layer:
a) The decorative outer face layer – consists of various trim pieces, including vertical panel end caps, a continuous top cap, and an adjustable skirt at the base (optional), if required. b) The decorative interior panels – will be made up of irregular shaped plywood cutouts of various sizes, shapes, layers and configurations to provide a three-dimensional effect. Layers may be adhered to each other or separated through the use of spacers to create texture and dimension. The interior panels may be block painted, artistically painted, or any combination thereof, as determined during the Detailed Design Phase (See Sec. 1.2 below). Each location will consist of two mirror- image panels so that the same design can be presented on both sides of the street.
The five (5) concept collection, through its artistic composition and subject matter hopes to engage audiences and promote discussions about unique landscapes and interesting wildlife that can be found in the Prince Albert Region.
1.2 Technical Information & Execution
The design and construction process will consist of three phases…a Detailed Design Phase, a Construction Phase and an Installation and Final Approval Phase. Should this proposal be accepted, these phases will be used to seek client feedback through engagement, consultation and approvals, as well as monitor progress, and determine key milestones for the purpose of gauging budget and schedule and establishing progress payments. These concepts have been designed in consideration of the following:
a) artistic design specifications and/or parameters as listed in the Call for Artist Concept; b) maintenance, safety, visibility, longevity and structural integrity; c) suitability related to the location; d) complementary to the site, as a whole; e) appropriateness and relativity of subject matter; f) flexibility in the design, with some limitations, and; g) other creative design, artistic and technical parameters.
2.0 Budget and Schedule
Budget: $25,000.00 CAD, plus applicable taxes (5-panel collection) $20,000.00 CAD, plus applicable taxes (4-panel collection, may include Panel 2) $15,000.00 CAD, plus applicable taxes (3-panel collection, does not include Panel 2)
Schedule (timeline): 8 weeks, upon acceptance/approval to proceed
Note: The development of one and two panel collections are not financially feasible under this proposal. This is because the work warrants a Detailed Design Phase to undertake client consultation, to acquire valued client feedback, to resolve design elements and technical details that must be reconciled prior to construction. This particular collection will have a higher than normal labor and material cost. Transport is also a budgetary factor. While some flexibility exists and concessions can be made in the design, the installation is an outdoor application that will be installed along an existing traffic median, and therefore, safety, durability and other 3 specific elements must also be considered in the design and construction details. Under this proposal, progress payments will be requested at key intervals.
3.0 Other Considerations:
3.1 Phasing
To ensure proper management of the budget and schedule, the work will be executed in phases. These phases will allow for periodic client reviews and consultations at appropriate intervals and for the purpose of establishing reasonable progress payments. The proposed execution phases are as follows:
a) The Detailed Design Phase – Review, discuss and finalize artistic and technical design and execution details. Will require one pre-design site visit to review existing site conditions and collect asbuilt data and information. Will seek client consultation and client sign-off on the final designed artistic panels, prior to construction. The detailed design phase is expected to take 2 to 3 weeks to execute. b) The Construction Phase – Construction of the work as determined by the Detailed Design Phase. Requires client approval prior to shipping to the site. The construction phase is expected to take 3 to 4 weeks to execute. c) The installation and Final Approval Phase – Will require final client approval (through photos) prior to shipping to the site. Will also require acceptance of the work at the time that the installation is complete.
3.2 Support Local
Where the work requires elements of the project to be sub-contracted consideration will be given to hire locally, where employing locally is competitive, and favourable to the management of the project budget and schedule, and both favourable and feasible to the success of the project, as a whole. Similarly, credits to the budget may be offered should the City of Prince Albert wish to install the finished panels independently. Credit values can be discussed and determined during the Detailed Design Phase.
3.3 Additional Information
The details of this design including design details, feasibility and details related to budget and schedule, are open for discussion. Additional information may be available upon request. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have, in that regard.
4.0 Personal Resume/CV
A Personal Resume/CV is submitted with this application in confidence, as a separate attachment.
5.0 Personal Portfolio (Personal Project Gallery)
A Personal Project Gallery is also submitted in confidence, as a separate attachment to serve as an Artist Portfolio.

Additional Past Work can be viewed in my Personal Project Gallery outlined in Sec. 5.0 above .
6.2 Concepts
Time constraints dictated by the short bidding period did not allow for the development of all five concepts, given the complexity and enormity of this design concept and the level of detail required to successfully execute this proposal. However, five (5) themes have been determined and rough samples have been developed. Panel Themes are as follows:
Panel 1 – Great Plains Bison Theme (rough sample shown below Panel 2 – Watershed Theme (ie: Pelicans, Loons, Beavers, Rabbits, Owl, Hawk) Panel 3 – Deer/Moose Forestry Theme Panel 4 – Bear/Fish River/Forest Theme Panel 5 – Wolf/Forest Theme (rough sample shown below)
Two sample concepts have been provided below for the purpose of communicating the overall vision of the proposal and how it might actually appear on site. These samples may or may not reflect the final panel designs at the detailed design level. Should serious consideration be given to developing this proposal further, I would be happy to provide you with more detailed concepts, additional information, or engage in detailed discussions to help satisfy any questions or concerns that you might have regarding the proposal, as described throughout this EOI.
These samples represent ROUGH CONCEPTS ONLY that were developed primarily for the purpose of determining colour schemes, layouts and scale specific to this proposal. These will be refined, detailed, finalized, resolved and reconciled during the Detailed Design Phase. As stated previously, client sign-off would be sought on each panel design prior to construction.

9 Architectural Model of Aspen Grove Subdivision - Milestone, SK
This project gallery has been compiled to highlight selected personal project achievements. It does not endorse a specific discipline, scope of work, or represent a comprehensive personal project experience list.
ASPEN GROVE SUBDIVISION / 2008-2015 MILESTONE, SK In 2008, Joanne initiated the process to subdivide and develop a small parcel of land located in the Town of Milestone for future residential development. The scope of work included the subdivision of five (5) acres of raw land; re-zoning; document development (ie: architectural controls, agreements); the detailed designs to address storm drainage; rough grading; the extension of municipal services (UG Water and Sewer works); new road networks; the complete design packages for a collection of nine (9) customizable one and two storey walk-out homes supporting 16 new irregular-shaped lots; and a nature sensitive urban park.
CUSTOM HOME DESIGN - VARIOUS / 1994 - present SASKATCHEWAN Joanne has designed and renovated custom homes in both rural and urban areas of the province, including resort locations. She has represented the best interests of clients and stakeholders on every level and successfully managed all aspects of builds, from concept to completion.
CASINO REGINA SASK LIQUOR AND GAMING AUTHORITY / 1997-2004 REGINA, SK In the late 90’s through the early 2000’s, Joanne was the senior technologist/project lead representing the primary consultant (architect), assigned to develop, prepare, manage and coordinate (in collaboration), a large-scale multi- phase restoration and renewal project for the Casino Regina through to completion of the construction phase. The projects were executed in a number of phases including the renovations/restoration of the existing facility, a training & learning centre, the addition of an above-ground parkade, a new showroom, u/g corridor systems, and two self-contained skywalks providing direct linkage above ground from the renovated Casino compound to the adjacent shopping and business centers.
Village of Chorney Beach Shoreline Flood Protection Revetments
VILLAGE OF CHORNEY BEACH (FISHING LAKE) FLOOD PROTECTION & PREVENTION 2009 / 2009 & 2017 CHORNEY BEACH, SK Joanne collaborated with an engineering consultant to provide long-term solutions and address flood protection and prevention design challenges at The Village of Chorney Beach, a lakefront community along the shoreline of Fishing Lake, Saskatchewan. The complex engineering design resulted in a series of low-maintenance, architecturally pleasing, engineered shoreline revetments, shoreline protective design elements, and overflow solutions that appealed to both the village and the community and remain effective today. At the request of a different council, the same team members were commissioned to provide an updated engineering report in 2017
TOWN OF PILOT BUTTE / 2013 – 2019 PILOT BUTTE, SK Joanne has been commissioned by the Town of Pilot to undertake various administrative, technical and planning assignments. Requests included the review and interpretation of technical material; drafting detailed bylaws, RFP’s & other technical documents; and researching & developing various planning comparables and other technical reviews and assessments related to municipal lands, processes, procedures, systems and facilities. In 2013, Joanne developed the Town of Pilot Butte Official Community Plan 2014 (OCP) in collaboration with, and under the direction of a professional planner, together with Council, the Town’s Chief Administrator, the Town’s Planning Commission and members of the Community. The document was approved by the Province as submitted without revision, in September 2014. In 2018 & 2019, Joanne began working on a pending OCP update.
In 2014/2015, Joanne drafted a Town of Pilot Butte Development Standards Guidelines, a user- friendly technical guide intended to provide information to new developers and investors on the policies and procedures related to the subdivision and land development processes as they apply in the Town of Pilot Butte. The document was designed to grow progressively with the Town for the long term and to eventually serve as a formal Subdivision Development Standards Manual should the Town apply for subdivision approving authority at a later date. Other recent technical documents, reviews and assessments include, but are not limited to OCP Update 2018, Pathways and Walkability Review 2018, Website Review 2018, and a Subdivision Contract Management Report 2018.
2
TOWN OF MILESTONE CONCEPTUAL GROWTH STUDY / 2012 MILESTONE, SK Commissioned by the Town of Milestone, Joanne, in collaboration with two other consulting engineers, conducted a Conceptual Growth Study 2012. The study was intended to appeal to the Town’s immediate concerns regarding the existing infrastructure and present factual data regarding the Town’s desire to grow as a whole. Subject areas included Growth and Development, Densities and Land Requirements, Concept Plans, OCP & Zoning Bylaws, Annexation Guidelines, and a Preliminary Assessment of the Existing Sewage Lagoon, Force Main and Water Supply Capacity.
TOWN OF MILESTONE & RM OF CALEDONIA EMERGENCY DRAINAGE DITCH & DETAILED DESIGN / 2011 - 2012 MILESTONE, SK Under the direction of a consulting engineer, Joanne executed a number of technical assessments, complicated research assignments, performed detailed flow calculations, and developed designs, including temporary drainage designs for emergency works; and a detailed design for a 6 mile storm drainage ditch system on behalf of the Town of Milestone and the RM of Caledonia, over four (4) distinct phases. Because of the lack of topical relief in the geographical region, these projects were especially challenging from a planning, design and construction perspective. The success of the project was received favorably by the approving authorities (The Town of Milestone, The RM of Caledonia & Sask WSA, Environment) as well as by the affected property owners and members of the community. The completed project continues to function as designed.
TOWN OF MILESTONE BUSINESS CASE FOR A NEW REVERSE OSMOSIS WTP / 2008 - 2009 MILESTONE, SK Joanne played a key role in developing a detailed funding application & business case for a new reverse osmosis water treatment plant for the Town of Milestone as a feasible option to improve the Town’s water quality. This involved a fairly large degree of research, review & analysis of existing studies, a preliminary study of the existing systems; the development of a preliminary engineering drawing package; proposed possible scenarios and a strategic plan for future demands and expansion of the existing facility, including the transition from a gravity-fed filtration system to a self-contained RO system. An application for federal and provincial funding was made on this premise and included detailed estimates and global budgets, a preliminary project schedule and other supporting data. The proposal was accepted in the spring of 2015.
