The new netting will provide added security for the <br />animals in the aviary exhibit as well as provide a durable, long lasting <br />enclosure with minimal maintenance costs. <br /> <br />Three qualified firms were contacted, A Thru Z, International Cordage and <br />Nets Unlimited. Due to limited staff resources only one firm, A Thru Z, <br />submitted a proposal. A Thru Z has prior experience in working with the <br />City, having installed the original netting for the Aviary. Both the <br />Public Works and Parks and Recreation Community Services Agencies are <br />familiar with their expertise in the aviary netting field. Based on <br />these qualifications, staff recommends the firm of A Thru Z be retained <br />for the required services in the not-to-exceed amount of $245,000. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Environmental <br />Review No. 2002-304 has been completed and a Negative Declaration has <br />been filed for this project. <br /> <br />25R-1 <br />
