MEETING DATE: APRIL 7, 2009
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION PURCHASE OF GRAPHIC

RECOMMENDATION:

from Julie Landes for custom-designed museum display panel artwork in the total
amount of $19,237.25 and for the fabrication of wall panels to house the artwork from
Terry Cargill in the total amount of $26,790.00. The total amount of the two purchases

Funds are available in accounts:
179-79158-000 $ 3,896.00

BACKGROUND:
This purchase will be made as a professional service under Texas Government Code,
Chapter 252, Section 252.022 (a) (4). Professional services are considered general
exemptions from the bidding requirement and therefore not required for this type of
purchase. This procurement is in association with a five year project that began with the
preservation and renovation of the historic Keeling House at 627 S. Church St. into a
single-subject small museum.
Work will be completed within this budget year and the Settlement to City Museum will
be available for school groups and by appointment until late 2010 when the rest of the
complex along with the new Convention & Visitors Bureau Headquarters and Galleries
will be open to the public on a daily basis.
The completion of the project has required extensive research to identify and locate
specialized vendors with unique skill sets and bring them together in collaboration.
Specifically, in Grapevine, we located a graphic artist/designer with the knowledge,
experience and equipment to work with wall-sized graphic images, and high-resolution

scanners to capture quality images from historic photography. Terry Cargill owns and
operates the one-of-a-kind automated equipment to fabricate all the case goods
required for the project.
Using bold style, large graphics and hands-on features, the Settlement to City Museum
traces the steps made by Grapevine community leaders and elected from 1843 to today
including; town history, city government, law enforcement and public safety, public
works, lake history, airport history and much more.
