Description

The Minnesota Zoological Garden is seeking a design‑build partner to assess, modernize, and construct a new Life Support System (LSS) for the Beaver Exhibit along the Minnesota Trail. The scope includes a comprehensive design phase—condition assessment, recommendations, cost estimating, and detailed construction drawings—followed by construction services that cover procurement, installation of waterworks, pumps, piping, electrical systems, and overall project management. A General Contractor must be identified within the proposal team, and a mandatory pre‑proposal meeting is scheduled for August 18, 2026. • Design‑build services for a zoo exhibit life‑support infrastructure (water, mechanical, electrical). • Deliverables include assessment reports, cost estimates, construction‑ready drawings, and full installation. • Requires coordination with a General Contractor and participation in a mandatory pre‑proposal meeting.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on typical design‑build projects for zoo exhibit infrastructure, a reasonable estimate ranges from $500,000 for a modest upgrade to $2,000,000 for a comprehensive modernization that includes extensive water, mechanical, and electrical systems. Factors influencing the range include the extent of existing infrastructure, material costs, and the need for a dedicated General Contractor.
