Tierra de las Pampas <br />January 25, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />3. The barrier for the anteater enclosure is to be similar to the arrangement at the Phoenix <br />Zoo which includes two fences - -a welded wire fence slanted inward to contain the <br />anteaters, a planted buffer and a barrier for the public. <br />4. Delete the estancia concept (antique plaster, wrought iron detailing) on the anteater <br />management building. <br />5. No custom shelters for the anteaters will be included. The existing tunnel play feature <br />will be used for one shelter. <br />Rhea and Guanaco Area <br />1. Delete the animal enclosures, estancia /storage building, and trellis gathering area. <br />Keep pampas ranch gate and fencing design perimeter. <br />2. Keep foot print of the presently designed building and corral area free of planting and <br />irrigation to allow space for future animal shelters and enclosures. It is planned that zoo <br />staff will choose modular corral shelters, fencing and gates to be installed independent of <br />this contract. Water, power, utilities will be stubbed to corral locations under this <br />contract. <br />3. The retaining wall / moat between the guanaco / rhea area and the train will remain, but <br />will continue through the area where the water feature was to have been installed. <br />Pathways and Look -out Points <br />1. The pathway through the exhibit will be stabilized decomposed granite with an <br />uneven edge. The shape of the walkway will be coordinated with the signing designs by <br />the signing consultant (under separate contract). There will be no or minimal change in <br />grade to the existing pathway. <br />2. There will be no seat walls at the look -out points. Benches that reflect the freeform <br />wood shapes of the pampas fencing will be used instead. <br />3. In the area of the butterfly garden, enlarge the decomposed granite paving for use as a <br />concession, eating area. Integrate planted areas so that the paved area seems to be nestled <br />among the shrubs and part of the exhibit. <br />The construction documents will be prepared for the project to be completed in one <br />phase. <br />
