Description

The Smithsonian Institution's (SI) National Zoological Park (NZP) is renewing its Seal and Sea Lion facilities and site. The existing Seal and Sea Lion exhibit was designed in 1977 as an anchor exhibit for the zoo's Beaver Valley. The 2787 square meter (30,000 sf) facility was built in 1978, and includes individual exhibit pools for seals and sea lions, separate holding pools for both species, and a large structure housing the life-support systems, maintenance, storage, and support operations. Age and technology advances have left the Seal and Sea Lion Life-Support Systems and the associated facilities in need of major revitalization so that current USDA and AZA standards for the care of marine mammals may be met. In addition, the pathway through the valley and exhibit area is steep and has numerous cross-slopes, making it difficult for people with disabilities and families with strollers to traverse. The underwater viewing area is also inaccessible to visitors with disabilities. This renewal project makes improvements and modifications to bring the facility into compliance with CFR Title 9 volume 1 - Specifications for the Humane Handling, Care, Treatment, and Transportation of Marine Mammals. Furthermore, universal accessibility is achieved in all public areas of the site. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (08-MAY-2009); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
