The Summit County Public Art Advisory Board met March 3, 2020 to review the 69 submissions for the Jeremy Ranch Roundabout project. It was a difficult decision as all of the applicants were of excellent quality -- the board was thrilled with the volume of high caliber artists who submitted to the project. The Board successfully selected the 3 top finalists who will enter into a design/development contract with the County. The finalists will participate in an initial orientation and question/answer session where the selected finalists will get more familiar with the project goals and hear from and ask questions of the community planned for mid-March, and the three selected finalists will submit their rendering of the proposal by April 1.
Finalist proposals will be reviewed at the next Summit County Public Art Advisory Board meeting on Tuesday, April 7 from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. at the Summit County Richins Building.

Request for Artist Qualifications -- Jeremy Ranch Roundabouts
The Summit County Public Art Board (SCPAAB) is pleased to provide an opportunity for artists and artist-led teams to submit qualifications to integrate highly creative three-dimensional artworks to be placed in the two, newly constructed roundabouts located at the I-80 Jeremy Ranch/Pinebrook exits in Park City, UT.
The roundabouts will be an important focal point signifying a major gateway to Summit County that will serve residents and millions of annual visitors. SCPAAB seeks an artist or artist-led team to create an artwork that celebrates a strong sense of place, embodies the values of the local landscape, culture, history, and/or wildlife, serves as a welcoming entrance into Summit County and engages the Summit County community during artwork project planning and installation.
This RFQ is open to all professional artists and/or artist-led teams with public art experience, residing in the United States. Applications are due Feb. 10, 2020. More More information on the project, and how to apply, is available here.
Thank you to both Summit County and UDOT snowfighters for keeping our roundabouts clear from snow!

This project will improve the safety, mobility and reduce congestion at the I-80 Jeremy Ranch Interchange, located at Mile Post 141 along I-80, serves vital community and commercial interests in western Summit County. Severe morning and evening congestion impact travel of Summit County residents, visitors, and commuters. There have been multiple studies for this area including a study in June 2007, a follow up study dated June 2009, another in 2015, and several traffic signal warrant studies for the I-80 ramps. The alternatives evaluated in these interchange studies included, two different roundabout options (two large diameter roundabouts, and 4 smaller roundabouts), a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI), and two different signal options. At the time of the studies, the estimated cost for the roundabout option(s) were approximately is $10.3M; the SPUI option was $26.6M; and the two signal options were $22.1M and $21.8M respectively.
Based on cost and performance through the design year of 2050, the two large diameter roundabouts were selected as the preferred alternative.
