The Oregon Zoo, operated by Metro, is requesting bids to provide construction services for its Veterinary Medical Center project. The zoo will use a two-step procurement method for these services.

Step one of the process includes submission of bids from qualified firms, evaluation of bids received, and determination of acceptable bids based upon the criteria required in the request for bids. Bids made in step one shall not contain any prices or pricing information.

Metro intends to use committed general obligation bond funds to construct the new medical center, which will serve the current zoo animal population and also serve as a quarantine building for new and sick animals.

The project scope includes removal of selected trees, demolition of an existing quarantine building, preparation of site (including utilities), paving, retaining walls, shoring (including soil-nail walls), construction of an approximately 15,000-square-foot concrete, wood and steel building, HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems, medical equipment installation, animal caging, landscape and irrigation (including E-zone mitigation planting) and LEED silver qualification and documentation.

Final determination of acceptable step-one submissions will be made by May 12, and an invitation to bid for step two will be issued by May 13.
