TOPIC: Santa Ana Zoo Giant River Otter and Primate Trails Project
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Additional Contingency Funds for an Existing Construction Contract with HYM
Engineering, in the Amount of $1,198,427, for the Santa Ana Zoo Giant River Otter and
Primate Trials Project with an Estimated Project Delivery Cost of $7,798,427 (Project
No. 16-2658) (General and Non -General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve an amendment to the Project Cost Analysis to recognize $1,198,427 for
$1,056,880 in additional contingency funds and $141,547 in additional contract
administration, inspection, and testing for a new estimated total construction delivery
cost of $7,798,427. The new estimated total construction delivery costs include
$5,289,238 for the construction contract, $923,385 for contract administration,
inspection, testing, and a $1,585,804 project contingency for unanticipated or
unforeseen work, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager
and City Attorney.
2. Approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program

DISCUSSION
On November 2, 2021, the City Council awarded a construction contract to HYM
Engineering (Exhibit 1) in the amount of $5,289,238, for the Santa Ana Zoo Giant River
Otter and Primate Trails with an estimated project delivery cost of $6,600,000.
Construction commenced in February 2022 and the existing "Amazon's Edge" exhibit,
built in 1990 is undergoing a complete renovation of its water filtration system, visitor
observation area, and creation of a new enclosed primate habitat with treetop trail for the
animals (Exhibit 2). To further respond to the concerns indicated by the Association of
Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) about a lack of modern zoological design with regard to old
primate enclosures, it was necessary to incorporate more primate habitats into this
ongoing project. Staff recommends adding two additional primate habitats to this project,
leveraging economies of scale since the contractor is already mobilized. The additional
work through this project enables three primate species to move from the 1950s cages

into modern habitats at a lower cost to the City and will add nighttime lighting with the
extra work, providing accessibility to this signature area during evening events.
Staff requests approval of an amendment to increase the project by $1,198,427 to allow
for continued oversight and consistency in delivering the project. These services augment
City staff efforts to ensure the timely delivery of the project. These additional costs will
be reflected in the revised cost analysis, which adds funds to construction engineering
and contingencies (Exhibit 3).

DISCUSSION
The existing "Amazon's Edge" exhibit, built in 1990, needs a complete renovation of its
water filtration system, moat, and visitor observation area. In addition, the Association of
Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) indicated the Santa Ana Zoo needs to modernize primate
habitats to regain accreditations. The Santa Ana Zoo Giant River Otter and Primate Trails
project will respond to all of these needs by encompassing an extensive transformation
that will include redesign and reconstruction of existing facilities, installation of an
underwater viewing area, and incorporation of an elevated primate trail system that opens
up to large mesh habitats. Once completed, the exhibit will be a multi -species habitat that
is home to Giant River Otters and large primates. The location of this project can be
found on the attached location map (Exhibit 1).
Public Outreach and Contractor Participation
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of
three regional vendors via PlanetBids, none of which are Santa Ana -based. Three
vendors requested bidding documents, and a total of three bids were received. Bids were
