Publicly Visible Art Permit for Metal Sculpture Titled Flower Moon

Bear Metal Welding has applied for a Publicly Visible Art Permit from the City of South Lake Tahoe to install a powder-coated steel sculpture titled Flower Moon. The artwork depicts natural elements, including mountains, flowers, a sunset, and wildlife, and will be mounted between two steel posts anchored in concrete. The proposed installation site is a landscaped lawn within either Bijou Park or Ski Run Park in South Lake Tahoe, California. The project is categorized as a forecast and is administratively handled by the City of South Lake Tahoe Planning Department, with Gretchen Schooleman serving as the primary contact. It is officially designated as categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Section 15301, Class 1, as it represents a minor alteration with negligible expansion. No specific contract value, delivery schedule, or federal acquisition clauses are associated with this permit, as it is a municipal authorization for public art rather than a competitive federal procurement.
