BACKGROUND
The Mellon Foundation is a private funding source established in 1969 to strengthen, promote, and defend the arts and humanities as essential to democratic societies. It is the Foundation’s goal to enable projects carried out by people, organizations, and institutions that unlock deeper understanding and activate cultural expression, while also learning and evolving with the world around us. From 1969 to 2023, the Mellon Foundation has awarded $9.1 billion in grants worldwide and the endowment totaled approximately $7.9 billion at the end of 2023.
The Monuments Project is one of the Foundation's Presidential Initiatives, or core grantmaking areas, which aims to transform the nation's commemorative landscape to ensure our country's collective history is more completely and accurately represented.
Launched in 2020 as a $250 million initiative – and doubled in 2023 to $500 million – the Monuments Project reflects both the urgency and the gravity of fostering more complete and inclusive storytelling of who we are as Americans. Grants made under the Monuments Project fund publicly oriented initiatives that are accessible to everyone and Mellon Foundation Grant Acceptance
July 7, 2025
2 promote stories that are not already represented in commemorative spaces. Through the Monuments Project, the Foundation funds a wide range of entities, including governments (federal, tribal, state, and local), community-based grassroots organizations, arts and cultural organizations, and institutions of higher learning.
All grants made through this program result from invitations issued by Mellon Foundation staff and are not open to a regular application process. In December of 2023, City staff submitted a grant inquiry to the Monuments Project team and was invited to submit a concept note for further consideration to determine if the City's Tolowa Cultural Trail project in Beachfront Park is aligned with the strategic priorities of the Monuments Project initiative. After further engagement with Foundation staff over the past year, the City was invited to submit a full application to complete the Tolowa Cultural Trail project in May of 2025. On June 30, 2025, City staff received notification that the Mellon Foundation has approved an award of $2,000,000 to the City for the Tolowa Cultural Trail project.
ITEM ANALYSIS
When the design team for the Tolowa Cultural Trail was assembled to bring the Tolowa features to life, it consisted of landscape architects, interpretive designers, City staff, and the Tolowa Cultural Committee (Tolowa representatives from Elk Valley Rancheria, Tolowa Nation, Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation, and Del Norte Historical Society). It became apparent, early in the process, that with such a passionate and fully engaged team, there was a real opportunity to take a deeper dive into the design process to get something truly unique and special.
The design team has been meeting regularly over the past three years, building on the momentum and excitement that exists for a project that will be a first for our community.
As the project has grown, City staff has responded by seeking additional grant funding to cover the expanded scope, ensuring that this project is brought to its full potential.
What was once the Tolowa Interpretive Area, located in a small section of Beachfront Park, is now referred to as the Tolowa Cultural Trail, which extends from the Visitor's Center to Battery Point, spanning the full length of the park along the California Coastal Trail. What was once a few simple kiosks, is now an art exhibit and place for reflection, enhanced by video content, fully immersive interpretive exhibits, opportunities to hear the Tolowa spoken language, binocular viewers, and a scavenger hunt.
The funding currently allocated to this project is as follows:
2020 Prop 68 – State Parks Program (a portion of) $5,000,000 Project design, groundwork, interpretive signage
2022 Prop 68 – Per Capita $177,952
Project design, groundwork, interpretive signage
2022 Coastal Stories Grant Program $200,000
Mellon Foundation Grant Acceptance

3 Videos, binoculars, audio platform, scavenger hunt
2023 California Endowment $65,000
Additional Tolowa outreach and engagement, basic kiosks 2023 Art in California Parks Grant Program $300,000
(2.5) expanded kiosks/interpretive nodes or public art features 2024 Clean California Grant (a portion of) $2,988,000
Basket pattern mosaic in front of Visitor's Center, native plantings Before submitting an application to the Mellon Foundation for funding, the project was still lacking funding for the Welcome Station or entry to the Tolowa Cultural Trail (including lithomosaic artwork), (3.5) expanded kiosks/interpretive nodes or public art features, groundwork and landscape design at Battery Point. One alternative was to cut scope from another Prop 68 or Clean CA funded Beachfront Park feature to complete a scaled down version of the Welcome Station and use small basic kiosks to display the QR codes for the remaining four videos.
With the Mellon Foundation funding, the City will not only be able to complete the project but will also bring the most culturally significant location for this project to its full potential, as Battery Point is the location where many Taa-laa-wa dee-ni' (Tolowa people) were imprisoned during the 1850s. The Mellon Foundation scope of the Tolowa Cultural Trail will be completed in two phases and span over the next two years (see attached Scope and Timeline).
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Mellon Foundation funding will be paid as an advance and will not impact the City's cash flow.

MELLON FOUNDATION MONUMENTS PROJECT
Tolowa Cultural Trail Scope and Schedule
With Mellon Foundation funding, the City will complete the construction of the Tolowa Cultural Trail, a project that has been in the works for approximately three years, and bring the most culturally significant site for the Tolowa people to its full potential. The project will be completed in two phases, with all shovel-ready elements completed in Phase I and the elements that require more design work completed in Phase II. The project activities include:
• Welcome Station: serving as the start to the Tolowa Cultural Trail, this activity will include development of final construction documents, the fabrication and installation of the structure and interpretive panel including the electrical work necessary to support the ADA accessible audio platform, a basket patterned mosaic, and a pebble patterned art element depicting the number of Tolowa lives recorded before and after the genocide. This feature will include a land acknowledgement from the City and give an overview of the Tolowa story. • Canoe monument: this activity includes the fabrication and installation of the structure, including a replica of a hand-carved Tolowa canoe and the electrical work necessary to support the ADA accessible audio platform, as well as the interpretive panel, which will tell the story of the Tolowa Trade Routes and the origination of the Jed Smith State Park. • Battery Point site improvements: this activity includes the design and construction of a reenvisioned Battery Point parking lot, restroom, and site plan for the Dance House monument and final stop on the Tolowa Cultural Trail. Site improvements will require permitting and an environmental review.
• Seal and Fish monument: this activity includes the development of construction documents from the existing conceptual drawings, fabrication and installation of the structure, including the electrical work necessary to support the ADA accessible audio platform, as well as the interpretive panel, which will tell stories of Rock Altars and Cultural Destruction.
• Tsunami monument: this activity includes the development of construction documents from the existing conceptual drawings, fabrication and installation of the structure, including the electrical work necessary to support the ADA accessible audio platform, as well as the interpretive panel, which will tell the story of the Tsunami. • Dance House monument: this activity includes the development of construction documents from the existing conceptual drawings, fabrication and installation of the structure, including the electrical work necessary to support the ADA accessible audio platform, as well as the interpretive panel, which will tell the stories of the Capital and Battery Point.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR ALTMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: BRIDGET LACEY, GRANTS / ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER DATE: JULY 7, 2025
SUBJECT: BEACHFRONT PARK – PUBLIC ART FABRICATION AND
INSTALLATION
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a professional services agreement with T.B. Penick & Sons, Inc. to fabricate and install (3) lithomosaic public art elements in Beachfront Park as part of the Tolowa Cultural Trail and Cultural Gateway and Beautification Project.
BACKGROUND
The Tolowa Cultural Trail project began in 2020 with the award of Prop 68 funding to complete a Tolowa Interpretive Area in Beachfront Park. On April 21, 2022, City staff formed a Tolowa Cultural Committee, comprised of three Tolowa tribes (Elk Valley Rancheria, Tolowa Nation, and Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation) as well as Tolowa representatives from the Del Norte Historical Society, to help inform the design of all Tolowa elements proposed in the Beachfront Park Master Plan.
On June 20th, 2022, the City entered into a contract with landscape architects from GreenWorks P.C. to complete the design of all new Beachfront Park features under the Prop 68 award. The GreenWorks design team also included interpretive designers from Sea Reach Ltd., who have designed much of what is now known as the Tolowa Cultural Trail. Over the past three years, City staff, the GreenWorks design team, and the Tolowa Cultural Committee have been meeting regularly to help bring this project to fruition.
Since the inception of this project, the City has acquired a total of eight grants to expand the storytelling elements of this park experience beyond the designated Tolowa T.B. Penick & Sons, Inc. Professional Services Agreement July 7, 2025
2 Interpretive Area to include a total of seven interpretive nodes or public art features strategically placed along the California Coastal Trail. The Tolowa Cultural Trail will now begin at the Visitor's Center and end at Battery Point. Each interpretive node will include QR codes linked to ten (10) videos of Tolowa people describing poignant moments from their history leading up to Tolowa life today.
On September 15, 2023, the City was awarded funding from the California Department of Transportation as part of their Clean California Grant Program for the Crescent City Cultural Gateway and Beautification Project. The objective of this project is to expand on some of the cultural elements that the Tolowa Cultural Trail is bringing to Beachfront Park by including them in some of the gateway and art elements proposed for the Front Street corridor, in addition to providing improved access to the Beachfront Park and Visitor's Center.
On June 30, 2025, the City was awarded $2,000,000 in grant funds from the Mellon Foundation to complete all remaining Tolowa Cultural Trail elements, including the Welcome Station or entry to the Tolowa Cultural Trail (with lithomosaic artwork), 3.5 expanded kiosks/interpretive nodes or public art features, and the site improvements (groundwork and landscape design) at Battery Point.
ITEM ANALYSIS
The City is now ready to begin the construction of three new public art elements that will be featured as part of the Tolowa Cultural Trail and Cultural Gateway and Beautification Project. The Tolowa Cultural Trail will include a lithomosaic basket pattern at the center of the Welcome Station, the entrance to the Tolowa Cultural Trail. The Welcome Station will also feature a lithomosaic pebble pattern depicting the Tolowa population before and after contact (2,400 vs 121). As part of the Cultural Gateway and Beautification project, the same lithomosaic basket pattern will be featured at the entrance to the Visitor's Center yet will be substantially larger in size (see attached concept drawings).
Working with multiple funding sources and grant expenditure deadlines has proven to be challenging. It has required staff to speed up the construction of some project components to ensure that all grant objectives are met by the first ribbon cutting ceremony and corresponding grant deadlines. Because of this, it is critical that the two lithomosaic patterns featured at the Tolowa Cultural Trail Welcome Station be completed by 10/31/25 so that the Welcome Station can be included in the ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the video work, Redwood interpretive node, Burden Basket interpretive node, and Canoe interpretive node. There will be temporary kiosks for the remaining videos, as the final three nodes cannot be constructed until after the site improvements occur at Battery Point. While it is important to use the same contractor for the lithomosaic work that will be completed at the entrance to the Visitor's Center, since it will be the same design and materials, the groundwork that needs to occur before this piece is installed is not scheduled to begin until next year, so this portion of the artwork will need to wait until T.B. Penick & Sons, Inc. Professional Services Agreement July 7, 2025
3 then to be installed. Due to these factors, the contract for lithomosaic art elements will be broken into the following phases:
Phase I
10 ft. lithomosaic basket pattern at Welcome Station (entrance to Tolowa Cultural Trail) Lithomosaic pebble pattern at Welcome Station (entrance to Tolowa Cultural Trail) Completed by: 10/31/25
Budget (Mellon Foundation): $216,345
Phase II (If funding is available)
14 ft. lithomosaic basket pattern at entrance to Visitor's Center Completed by: 6/30/26
Budget (Clean CA): $157,163
The two grant deadlines currently dictating the date of the first ribbon cutting ceremony are those for the Coastal Conservancy grant (video work) and the Art in Parks grant (first three interpretive nodes). City staff has requested a grant extension for both grants to allow for a November 30, 2025 deadline, as it is currently September 30, 2025. At this time, the Art in Parks grant deadline has been extended, but we are still waiting for confirmation from the Coastal Conservancy. If that deadline is not extended, then a smaller ribbon cutting ceremony will occur on September 30, 2025 to meet the grant objectives for that grant and will not include the Welcome Station or lithomosaic installations. We would then simply wait until all other Phase I project elements are complete to hold the more elaborate celebration with our tribal partners during Native American Heritage Month in November.
On June 12, 2025 City staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the final design, fabrication and installation of the three lithomosaic art features to be located at the entrance to the Tolowa Cultural Trail and Visitor's Center. While we were contacted by multiple firms, the only one who turned in a proposal and was able to meet our tight timeline was T.B. Penick & Sons, Inc. Their firm is responsible for co-developing the process of lithomosaics, a technique that allows for the intricate embedding of mosaic tiles into concrete, creating a product that is durable yet still remarkably intricate. Their team of designers, fabricators and installers includes Sea Reach Ltd., who is intimately familiar with the project and has many years' experience working with T.B. Penick & Sons on past lithomosaic projects.
Under T.B. Penick & Sons' proposal and the professional services agreement included with this staff report, T.B. Penick & Sons will take the existing concept drawings, develop them into engineered construction documents, then fabricate and install the described lithomosaic art features located at the Tolowa Cultural Trail and Visitor's Center entrances.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
T.B. Penick & Sons, Inc. Professional Services Agreement July 7, 2025
4 The proposed Professional Services Agreement with T.B. Penick & Sons in the not-toexceed amount of $216,345 for Phase 1 work, will be funded by the Mellon Foundation grant. Phase 2 work in the estimated not to exceed amount $157,163 will be funded by the Clean California grant if available funding exists. The amount of available funding will be known after the Front Street (Play to L Street) Bid is opened in early August 2025.
Both grants will be operating as an advance, so there should not be an issue with cash flow.

Exhibit A: Scope of Work
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This scope of work is related to the final design, fabrication and installation of three public art pieces broken into two phases:
PHASE 1
1. Lithomosaic basket pattern at Tolowa Cultural Trail Welcome Station (10ft diameter, approximately 78 sq.ft.) to be completed on or before October 31, 2025
2. Lithomosaic pebble pattern at Tolowa Cultural Trail Welcome Station (approximately 675 sq.ft.) to be completed on or before October 31, 2025 PHASE 2 (contingent upon available funding)
3. Lithomosaic basket pattern (or alternate Redwood design) at Cultural Center entry plaza (14ft diameter, approximately 154 sq.ft.) to be completed on or before June 30, 2026
NOTICE TO PROCEED AND PHASING: Upon execution of this Agreement and receipt of evidence of insurance, the City will issue a notice to proceed with Phase 1 of the work. The notice to proceed with Phase 2 of the work is contingent upon available funding.
TASK 1: SECURING MATERIALS (SEA REACH)
Given the lead time on materials, one of the first tasks will be to decide on the colors and order the materials.
1.1 Ordering Tiles: The tiles used for exterior mosaics are porcelain “through body.” This means the color is the same intensity through then entire tile. If the tile is cut, chipped, rightside up or upside down the color is the same. The tiles are not glazed so chipping is nearly not discernible. The tile is produced on the East Coast and has a lead time of 6-8 weeks for standard colors, and 10-12 weeks for specialty colors.
Colors were presented and discussed with the City and the Tolowa Cultural Committee (TCC) on May 25, 2025. Sea Reach presented a range of colors that make up the three basic “fields” of color in the basket pattern: wheat, rust, and black. Based on this presentation, Sea Reach has chosen 3-5 colors for each of the color fields. Given the lead time required even to make a sample, ordering tiles will be the first task upon award of this contract.
1.2 Ordering Pebbles: Availability and lead time on the pebbles is between 2-4 weeks.
Sea Reach will order samples to share with the City and TCC of several rock colors and sizes.
CITY OF CRESCENT CITY -CONTRACT FOR SERVICES
Ex. A – Pg. 2
Timing is not as critical for these given the shorter lead time and the larger number of sources.
TASK 2: SAMPLES AND APPROVALS (SEA REACH)
2.1 Creating Samples: All samples are produced as final product. The tiles and pebbles are adhered to a fiberglass mesh at Sea Reach and then sent to T.B. Penick & Sons at their San Diego, CA office to be embedded into a lithocrete. CONTRACTOR will create six 12x12 samples of full-thickness sections of decorative concrete paving to demonstrate typical joints, surface color, lithomosaic pattern and tile spacing, and texture; curing; and standard of workmanship. These samples are required to verify selections and to demonstrate aesthetic effects and set quality standards for materials and execution. The samples must be reviewed and approved by both the artist/fabricator and the landscape architect.
Approval of samples does not constitute approval of deviations from the contract documents unless landscape architect specifically approves such deviations in writing.
2.2 Approvals: Due to the nature of the process. The mosaics can be viewed and approved at any time through the process. The baskets will be produced at Sea Reach Ltd’s complex in Sheridan, OR. The full-size paper template is laid onto the floor and the fiberglass mesh (scrim) is laid over it. The tiles are glued on one-by-one over the template, forming a colorful pattern. Sea Reach will communicate via photos and video with the City and TCC as the mosaics take shape. The full-size design can be viewed in person or via photos at any time during the process.
Lithomosaic pattern design, shop drawings, and material specifications to be reviewed by landscape architect at each design milestone. Final designs must be approved by City staff and the Tolowa Cultural Committee before proceeding to fabrication.
TASK 3: CREATE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FROM EXISTING CONCEPT DRAWINGS (SEA REACH)
3.1 Lithocrete Presentation: T.B. Penick & Sons will present the lithocrete process in a presentation to the City and Greenworks (it would be great if the general contractor could be there as well). This presentation will get everyone on the same page regarding the site preparation, durability, length of installation, and other critical questions. This conversation is critical to everyone understanding how to bring the pieces together into a unified final product.
3.2 Tolerances: T.B. Penick & Sons has requested that all the lithomosaics, including the basket pattern, should include a 1 inch negative space around the perimeter where it meets up to an edge. This is especially important for round designs, as achieving a precise fit within curved formwork is particularly challenging. This is even more critical when a different concrete contractor is responsible for pouring the surrounding concrete into which our
CITY OF CRESCENT CITY -CONTRACT FOR SERVICES
Ex. A – Pg. 3
lithomosaic will be placed. The 1 inch of negative space allows for on-site adjustments during the installation and ultimately supports a more successful installation. It is imperative that the circles, in particular are precise. It will be good to discuss with the general contractor how they intend to make the perfect circle to fit the mosaics.
3.3 Templates for General Contractor: T.B. Penick & Sons recommends that Sea Reach provides a paper template used to fabricate the lithomosaic to the concrete contractor pouring the surrounding concrete. This will assist them in forming their pour and contribute to a smoother and more accurate installation.
3.4 Construction Documents: Sea Reach will submit a detailed description of the process with drawings, including a refined pebble pathway layout.
TASK 4: MAKING THE MOSAICS (SEA REACH)
4.1 Mosaic Process for Baskets: Though the process is exactly the same, Sea Reach will be approaching the two styes of mosaics different in an effort to involve the Tolowa Cultural Committee (TCC) in the making of the pebble mosaic.
a. Template: The template for the basket will be printed full size. In addition to what the City and TCC have approved as the general design, the template will include a series of concentric rings. This ensures that the tiles form a clean circular pattern as they are laid one by one on the template. The pattern is generally printed upside down (because the tiles are laid upside down) but in this case, with a symmetrical pattern and through-color tiles, the pattern will look the same upside down or right-side up.
b. Laying the Tiles: The tiles for this particular style of mosaic come in 1 inch x1 inch and 2 inch x 2 inch, adhered together in 12 inch x 12 inch squares. The larger tiles will all be cut in half, so that the concentric circles making up the basket weave are all 1 inch high. As the tiles are laid, the negative space (where the lithocrete will show) is evaluated as part of the design. Both the tiles and the negative space make up the whole. Optimal tolerances for the spacing between the tiles will be addressed by T.B. Penick & Sons. Sea Reach has produced a lithomosaic installed in the crosswalk of a downtown road with tolerances of ¼ inch. The tighter the tolerance, the brighter the overall color. Each tile is glued into place on a fiberglass mesh. Once the mosaic is completed, and the glue has dried, the mosaic is rolled around a PVC tube for shipping. For larger patterns, such as these, the mesh is cut into
CITY OF CRESCENT CITY -CONTRACT FOR SERVICES
Ex. A – Pg. 4
manageable pieces before the tiles are adhered. There are 2 inch overlaps on the mesh for knitting the pieces back together.
c. Shipping the Mosaic: The basket mosaics will be transported to Crescent City to be available to the installer as scheduled.
4.2 Mosaic Process for Pebbles:
a. Secure a Location: For the pebble mosaic, Sea Reach will work with the City and TCC to secure a location where a full-size template, indicating the shape of the walkway, can be laid onto a floor. The template will have dots for the proposed locations for pebbles and in the correct number. Sea Reach will set up the templates (this will take a couple of hours) and will supply the mesh, pebbles, and glue for the activity.
b. Laying the Pebbles: Whether there are four or twelve people, this random mosaic can be laid in a day. It could, however, take up to a week for the glue to dry. So it is best to have a location where the pebbles can sit relatively undisturbed for a few days. There are some nice options for the pebbles. Flattened pebbles can be purchased in dark gray, with all the pebbles predominantly the same color and basic shape. Or the pebbles can be acquired in an array of soft natural colors favoring cool grays, bluish gray and greenish grey. There are also warm colors and white available. If the City and TCC choose pebbles with some variation in color, then the placement in the pavement pattern will have a bit more personality. c. Transport to Beachfront Park: After the glue securing the pebbles to the mesh has dried, the sections will be rolled and numbered for installing at Beachfront Park.
TASK 5: INSTALLATION (T.B. PENICK & SONS)
5.1 PREVAILING WAGES: T.B. Penick & Sons will perform the installation work, which is subject to California prevailing wages. The CONTRACTOR must be registered with the DIR prior to the execution of this contract. Labor Code section 1720 et seq. sets forth the prevailing wage law and the CONTRACTOR, team members and any subcontractor (collectively referred to as “subs”) shall conform to any and all prevailing wage requirements applicable to such work. CONTRACTOR and subs must adhere to the prevailing wage determinations made by the DIR pursuant to California Labor Code Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 2, applicable to the work, if any. All workers employed in the execution of a public works contract (as such term is defined California Labor Code section 1720 et seq. and section
