The total commission available for the final Work is $325,000 CAD (all inclusive, excluding GST) and must cover all costs associated with the design, fabrication, transportation, and on-site installation requirements of the Work.

• Environmental Integration: The Work shall consider and reflect the environmental character and sustainability principles of the building, whether through form, materials, or conceptual approach.
• Access & Safety: The Work shall not impede safe access to or use of the Facility, shall not pose a risk of injury to the public (e.g., not designed as a climbable structure), and shall not interfere with the operation or maintenance of the area (e.g., foundation designed to allow grass cutting around).
• Fabrication & Installation: The Artist shall be responsible for all fabrication and installation requirements, including but not limited to engineering, foundation design and construction, utility locates, delivery, and installation.
• Compliance: The Work shall comply with all applicable Alberta Building Codes, fire codes, and the Geotechnical Analysis requirements.
