Over the past 10 years, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo has expanded the entertainment opportunities and used those opportunities to help generate revenue to help defer increased operating costs. Some of these revenue generating ideas include the Circle of Wildlife Carousel, Ben Gogolick Giraffe Encounter and the 4D Theater. Recently, several zoos around the country have installed the Soaring Eagle Zipline as a revenue generating opportunity. Soaring Eagle Zipline (https://www.altitudeattractions.com/soaring-eagle-zipline-inner) is a unique and proprietary zipline experience that originates and returns to the same location which allows family groups to stay together and kids and teens to safely ride and return to the point of origin. Additionally, the two-person seat design allows for greater accessibility for a broader audience than a traditional zipline which requires a harness. The zipline is also usable in four seasons, as it is operational at multiple ski resorts around the country. As such, the zipline provides a revenue opportunity that fits with the Zoo’s core demographic and provides the opportunity to expand the demographic to a more adventure-seeking audience. Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is currently negotiating contractual terms for dual ziplines to be fabricated that are approximately 680 foot long that include carts, drive cables, braking, control panel and LED light and sound packages. Site preparation (the subject of this RFQ) is needed in order to accept delivery and perform installation of the dual ziplines. The ziplines would be installed such that the loading/unloading platform borders Waterfowl Lake in the Zoo between Stillwater Place and Wade Hall. The upper towers would be located on the top of the Big Creek Valley ridge atop Waterfowl Lake near the Cleveland Metroparks Administration Building and will provide uses unobstructed views to the Downtown Cleveland skyline and the Zoo below. Cleveland Metroparks staff, along with the zipline vendor, and select design sub-consultants, is completing the design and contract documents for the project. The Construction Manager is being engaged during the design-development stage to insure that the project is constructed within the available budget and completed by May 2021. The construction of the improvements shall embrace the Cleveland Metroparks’ Green Infrastructure and Sustainability guiding principles recognized in the Cleveland Metroparks 2020 Emerald Necklace Centennial Plan. The improvements may include but are not limited to site demolition, piers, foundation walls, piles, deep foundations, steel sheet piling, dewatering, earth fill, excavation, grading, underground utilities, footers and foundations, hardscape, flatwork, deck/railing/que line construction, entry/ticketing structure, fencing, utilities, site lighting, placement of kiosks and site furniture, landscaping. Coordination with the zipline provider is necessary as the zipline components are to be fabricated off-site, delivered and assembled. The Zoo Zipline at The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is projected to begin construction February 2021 and be completed as practically close to Memorial Day 2021 as possible.wlrMLDBWv QjvlFnAJD ACHf D 0641 2 9403420 Rw 61398610 7zjWoGqC pJTFJI6t E 46 78530553 rBHc gAck29X So dl9vKhv XIOJg76a 1 H Oc GHwjo
