Given previous requests, I thought I’d throw up an example of a maintenance plan for a city in Southern California. Our arrangements are customized to meet the needs of the community. This particular maintenance proposal was only two pages but they wanted to include our background etc so it follows…
ID Details of mural(s)
ID Details of requesting community contact
A request has been made for a 25 year maintenance plan for public art. In response, this proposal is respectfully submitted and includes:
- • Action plan for ongoing maintenance of public art
- • Coordination of efforts with other community organization(s)
- • Background information (expertise)
- • Capability Statement of similar work
Action plan for ongoing maintenance of public art for the next 25 years (through 2044)
- • It is proposed that the public art mural mentioned above, after it has received a protective final varnish coating, be visited and inspected by FACL 3 times per year for inspection. The inspection will be done in cooperation with the City’s Arts Alliance.
- • Each inspection will be a careful per square foot examination to make sure its condition is stable.
- • One of the visits will include a wipe down of the mural in order to look its best, with the cooperation of the Arts Alliance.
- • This maintenance contract also includes the removal of 1 moniker (graffiti) under 3’ x 3’ per year, with the cooperation of the Arts Alliance. Any other graffiti removal will be an extra charge.
- • If the mural should be tagged, FACL will arrange and administrate, with the cooperation of the Arts Alliance, removal of the graffiti from the public art (after City approval) within 10 days. No other graffiti removal service will be employed, utilized, subcontracted by the city or the Arts Alliance.
- • The protective varnish layer should not require modification (for the 25 year period) unless abused or unusual conditions (storms etc) produce damage.
- • The yearly fee does not include any restoration or preservation treatments that may need to be undertaken such as:
- o Stabilization of damage.
- o Restoration of damage.
- o Removal of graffiti.
- o Recoating with varnish, in part or generally, of the mural.
The proposed yearly fee for this public art maintenance service is $5,000.00 plus expenses payable in a single yearly billing and payment.
This agreement will be in force for 5 years before reviewing its terms.
FACL, Inc. agrees to be available and responsive for 25 year’s service commitment (through the end of 2044). The conservation lab has a wide geographical reach with several capable professionals.
Coordination of efforts with other community organization(s)
At this time, only the City’s Arts Alliance is known to have an administrative interest in this public art mural and FACL is willing to work with them on this matter. If there are other city offices or officials that will be involved, FACL will be open to working with them as well.

2015 Historical mural of Price, Utah by Lyn Faucett, 1938, 230 feet long, oil on canvas marouflaged, City Hall (Historic Landmark). Extensive previous restorations made cleaning a difficult (but successful) process (so as not to complicate the treatments and the budget). See short video and testimonial, CLICK HERE
2013 – 2015 Law and Culture by Everett Jeffery, 1936, WPA, 6’ x 62’ oil on fabric marouflaged, City Hall, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This Beaux Arts styled building was a federal courthouse (until 2008) where the subject matter of this wall was so controversial in it’s day that all four walls of mural were painted out in the 1950s. Second thoughts resulted in the overpaint being cleaned off about 10 years later but then the public was so outraged, that the murals were re-overpainted. This mural had 5 layers of paint over the original mural. This high profile contract included working with the City Manager’s office and was partially funded by National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), other local grants, and a State Historical Society of Iowa grant. Work included overpaint removal, rip repair, consolidation, inpainting, varnish, video documentation: https://www.fineartconservationlab.com/wpa-mural-restoration-in-city-hall-of-cedar-rapids-iowa/ Speaking at public outreach meetings and other consultation were also provided.

2014 Panorama of Historic Eugene, Oregon by Andrew Vincent, 1964, 11.5’ x 43.5’, acrylic on canvas marouflaged, Council Chambers of City Hall. Old City Hall demolition required the saving of the art component by the general contractor. Mural removal was complicated by discovery of asbestos in wall materials. Project completed on time and on budget. Click here to see GC testimonial. Click here to see project summary. Click here to see video on toxic materials mitigation experience.
2014 11,500 sq. ft Art Deco decorated historic ceiling in the Beaux Arts Building at 1600 West 7th St., Los Angeles.

2014 Station of the Cross XII (Crucifixion) by Jose Francisco Zervin, 1800, 12’ x 7’, Mission San Juan Capistrano in California located in the Father Serra Chapel oil on canvas encased in the wall with architectural molding.

2011 – 2012 Graffiti removal, conservation and restoration of the Jim Morphesis Monument by Kent Twitchell. 15ft x 45ft, acrylic on synthetic fabric glued to cement wall, located under the Grand Ave. overpass in downtown Los Angeles. This is the first mural of 13 murals to be worked on for The Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles that is part of the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival Murals. Ongoing maintenance of graffiti removal is also part of this project. For more information and videos go to https://www.fineartconservationlab.com/jim-morphesis-monument-by-kent-twitchell/
2011 CalTrans, State of CA had painted out 8 of the 13 ’84 Olympic murals Not only are these murals a special celebration of the 1984 Olympics held in LA, but the artists are still living and, in California, artists have legal rights to their artwork (VARA)… especially if it is public art. I was asked to test and evaluate, based on professional art conservation principles and ethics, CalTrans’ materials, discuss the methodology and find out if there was a way to diffuse a law suit. My “intervention” was also of intense interest to SPARC, the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles, all the 10 artists involved, the Public Works Dept. of CA, the City of Los Angeles, the “Special Projects Dept” of the Getty Conservation Institute (who are looking into protecting murals from graffiti) and the population of art conservators in the LA area that are interested in murals. In short, I found myself reporting-in taking into consideration all the interests of these entities. This project was designed to become a maintenance program for the outdoor murals of Los Angeles, to keep graffiti off of them, conserve, restore and preserve this very visible cultural patrimony of Los Angeles. A blog has been set up to update the public with written and video media at http://www.SaveFreewayMurals.com
If desired, a list of mural conservation projects in the USA and Italy extending to 1975 is available.

Historic Preservation
Work within the historic preservation field requires knowledge of community standards for preservation of architecture and artwork within historic structures. It requires working with teams of people, city governments and departments, writing proposals and public appearances. This activity highlights expanded consultation capabilities.
