Attachment 1, Page 1 6.1A Page 3 Rubenstein Studios 4819 Dorset Avenue Chevy Chase, MD 20815 tel. (301) 654-5406 fax (301) 654-5496 Email: bartsher@aoLcom Website: www.RubensteinStudios.com Barton Rubenstein Sculpture and Public Art Bronze · Stainless Steel · Glass · Stone Indoor and Outdoor All SITE MATERIALS DESCRIBED BELOW CAN BE PROVIDED BY RUBENSTEIN STUDIOS. "Ray of Light" @ 2008 Dimensions: 60"H x 38"W x 20"D Material: Brushed Stainless Steel (Water) Required Site Dimensions: 12' diameter Foundations: Three concrete pads (12" x 12" x 8"H) will secure sculpture to ground. Reservoir: An 1 50 gallon Rubbermaid reservoir with a stainless steel top will be set into the ground in front of the sculpture. Rubber Tarp and Stones: A rubber tarp will be laid on the graded site with the water draining down the tarp into the reservoir. large stones (minimum of 3" diameter) will cover the tarp. Sculpture Plumbing: 1.5" PVC plumbing to connect V2 hp 3600gph stainless steel sump pump (in reservoir) to sculpture. Includes valve and union fitting. Electrical Requirements: 1- 20 amp circuit (pump), 1- 15 amp circuit (low voltage light, front and back}. Place outlet next to site. Lighting: low voltage lighting, placed in front and behind the sculpture, nestled within the stones. Water Requirements: 1/2" PVC line to the site. This line will be connected to a water valve in the reservoir that will add water to the system as water evaporates. Maintenance: The maintenance of the water sculpture is minimal. The timers, mounted next to the electrical outlet will control the pumps and lights. Timers: Very Little Maintenance: If there is a power outage, the time of day will have to be reset on the timers. Sculpture: Very little Maintenance. The sculpture will retain its reflective surface, rust-free for many decades. Occasionally, iron particles from the atmosphere or from the water will land on the sculpture. To remove these, use a conventional scotch-brite pad and gingerty rub off foreign object, brushing in the direction of the existing brush marks. To clean the sculpture of dirt or bird droppings, use non-abrasive liquid soap and a soft towel. Graffiti will come off easily with a spinning scotchbrite pad (Doall. 800-923-6255,0, Part #13719 6xl/2xl/2 pads; Milwaukee 7" Sander. Cat#6078, 0-6000 rpm). When removing graffiti. I recommend repolishing the entire side of the sculpture. Pumps: Very Uttle Maintenance. The stainless steel pumps typically have a 1-2 year warranty, but last around 5 years. They can be easily accessed/replaced by removing the base plates on top of the reservoir, unscrewing the PVC union joints and then swapping the pumps. Soap Vandalism: Very UtIle Maintenance. SOAP WILL NOT RUIN THE SYSTEM. If someone adds soap to the system, drain water from the reservoir and then add water to the system (essentially flUShing out the system). lighting: No Maintenance. These low voltage lights ore inexpensive, easy to replace and run off of a timer. TemPOrarv Removal of Sculpture: The sculpture can be removed quite easily by removing the stones surrounding the sculpture, disconnecting pvc union connections. unscrewing nuts under each sculpture, and then carefully lifting sculptures off base. To reinstall sculpture, do the same in the opposite order, turn on the pumps, and adjust nuts af bottom of sculpture so that water flows over all surfaces. Then, tighten bolts.
