Summary
The Smithsonian Institution is issuing this Request for Proposals to construct a new Arabian Leopard Exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park in Washington, DC. The project is conducted in partnership with the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) of Saudi Arabia to support the conservation of the critically endangered Arabian leopard. The scope covers preconstruction and construction services for the new habitat, with a 19–26 month period of performance and an estimated value exceeding $10 million; offerors must demonstrate specialized expertise in animal-containment systems, radiant flooring, and vibration/sound mitigation to protect adjacent zoo animals during construction.
