MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGERW'
MEETING DATE: MARCH 19, 2013
SUBJECT.- APPROVAL OF DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT WITH MUSEUM
ARTS OF DALLAS FOR INTERIOR EXHIBITS FOR
GRAPEVINE'S ICE HOUSE MUSEUM
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a contract with Museum its of Dallas to design and
build all interior exhibits for the Grapevine lee House Museum in the amount of
$225,000.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 179-79173 (Grapevine Ice
House Capital Project Fund) in the amount of$225,000.
BACKGROUND:
In 2010 the Grapevine Historical Society selected Museum Arts of Dallas from several
prospective museum design groups to design and build the interior exhibits of the new
lee House Museum. Following many meetings with the Museum Development
Committee of the Historical Society, a proposal was presented to the Historical Society
that utilized the any hours of input by members as well as the inventory of artifacts in
the possession of the Historical Society. The proposal totaled $511,496. The
Grapevine Historical Society was concerned that it could not raise this amount and
following several meetings with the City Manager and the CVB Director it was agreed
that the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) would build the interior exhibit space and
the Grapevine Historical Society would restore and install their artifacts in the CVB. built
exhibits. The CVB Director, following the design guidelines provided byte Historical
Society, negotiated over several months a very similar proposal with Museum Arts at a
cost not to exceed $225,000. The attached scope of work and sketches outline this
work.
Upon approval of funding, Museum Arts of Dallas will go back to the Museum
Development Committee and complete the final exhibit dimensions, selection of
artifacts, graphics and descriptions necessary for each exhibit. Meetings with the
Museum Development Committee will begin in March 2013 with fabrication to begin in
April 2013 and with installation and completion by August 2013.

violation by Contractor of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement.
