Phase 2 Construct Arabian Leopard Exhibit at the National Zoological Park
Solicitation # 33330226RT0010015
The Smithsonian Institution is soliciting offers for a firm-fixed-price construction contract to execute Phase 2 of the Arabian Leopard Facility at the National Zoological Park in Washington, DC. This phase focuses on the construction of the Habitats and Animal Care Building, which will include three leopard dens, a cubbing den, a quarantine stall, a visitor day room, and immersive habitats featuring an underground public viewing tunnel. The project is estimated to exceed 10 million dollars, with an initial funding increment of 4 million dollars for FY 2027. The period of performance is 578 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Due to the specialized nature of the work, the solicitation is limited to three prequalified firms: Grunley, Consigli, and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company. The scope of work requires high levels of technical expertise, including the installation of specialty animal containment fencing, radiant flooring, and shotcrete faux rock and trees. Contractors must operate within an active, historic campus, necessitating strict mitigation of sound and vibration to protect animals and close coordination with zoo feeding and veterinary schedules. Key requirements include compliance with LEED building criteria, the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM), and adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages. Additionally, the contract mandates a minimum 40 percent subcontracting goal for small business concerns and a 12 percent self-performance requirement. Award will be determined using Best Value Tradeoff Source Selection Procedures, where non-price technical factors are significantly more important than cost. Technical proposals will be evaluated based on the contractor's ability to provide construction services, key personnel qualifications, cost control, scheduling, and quality assurance. Following several amendments to the solicitation, the final bid due date is November 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST. Proposals must be submitted as separate PDF files via Dropbox and are limited to 250 pages.
