V -- TOPOGRAHICAL MAP DISPLAY POC Maria Teresa Arias, Contract Specialist, (507) 272-4690 The Panama Canal Commission seeks sources to replace the existing topographical/map display of the Panama Canal, which was fabricated in 1966. The model currently on display at the Miraflores Locks, Republic of Panama, is 25 feet long by ten feet wide, at its widest section. The exhibit which is made of fiberglass is highlighted by a complex lighting system which spot-lights each important feature as it is identified by audio aids. The display serves as a learning tool, as it offers viewers a complete simulated transit through the Canal. The audio/visual features include a narrated slides show, that demonstrates not only the transit through the Canal, but also allows the viewer a look into the Canal's history and operation. The Commission is not looking for an exact or even similar replacement, the above description is given only to highlight the intended purpose of the exhibit. New and innovative, high tech and/or interactive replacements that produce the same educational end result are encouraged. When requesting or providing information state name, address and title of announcement. Requests for information or information will be accepted by facsimile at 011-507-272-7661. Information on sources is required before November 15, 1996, and should include a description of the proposed exhibit and an estimated price range.
