Rainwater Art Concept Design for Snelling Midway Redevelopment Site Scope of Work April 25, 2018 Purpose To produce concept design(s) of public artwork that would daylight the below ground rainwater harvesting and use system at the Snelling Midway redevelopment site. The concept design(s) shall offer a vision of rainwater-based art that is being sought by Capitol Region Watershed District and the City of Saint Paul. Rainwater art situated in the public realm at the SnellingMidway site can help raise community awareness of the innovative system and empower citizens to become stewards of the water resources where they live.

The scope of work for this effort shall include a kick-off meeting with City of Saint Paul’s water resources coordinator and CRWD’s program manager and watershed artist-in-residence to brainstorm concept ideas for visualizing the underground rainwater harvesting system at the surface. Mr. Dysart will develop sketches and descriptions for up to three initial rainwater art concepts that shall be presented to City and CRWD stakeholders for their feedback.
