Amount of $250,000 and a Total Aggregate Amount Not to Exceed $750,000 for the
period June 15, 2021 to December 31, 2023 (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Breeze Creative LLC, Imagine
Exhibitions, Inc., and Spineless Wonders to provide as-needed short-term Santa Ana Zoo
exhibits for an annual aggregate amount of $250,000 and a total aggregate amount of

Benefit Fund, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The hosting of temporary or short-term exhibits is a standard in the museum industry,
including our local Bowers Museum and Discovery Cube, and has become more common
at zoos as well. These exhibits create new, exciting experiences for youth and their
families returning to the facility, and welcomes youth with specific interests while
introducing them to the organization for the first time. Exhibits are created from pre-
existing collections, installed and maintained at the zoo by the provider, and collected for
use at another facility at the end of the run. Exhibit providers will provide training and
educational resources for use by zoo staff and volunteers during the exhibit run. New
temporary exhibits each year capture the attention of a wide variety of interests, which
creates return visits to the zoo. Through repeat experiences, a connection between the
Zoo and our community builds while presenting opportunities for education through
recreation and natural curiosity.
Exhibits will run for a defined period and be included with general zoo admission for all
guests. All exhibit components will be outdoors with accommodations for inclement
weather and will be fully accessible to guests of all abilities. As part of the Community
Connections: The Zoo and You, programs designed specifically for Santa Ana youth
(ages 0-26) will be developed and include opportunities to dive deeper into the animals,

scientific concepts, and technology presented by each exhibit. Resources will also be
made available for local educators bringing their student groups to visit the zoo during the
exhibit run. These special exhibits will also provide new opportunities for zoo youth
volunteers to become subject experts, improve their research and communication skills
and share their excitement for the subject presented with other youth. Through short-
term, temporary exhibits unique to the zoo, local youth will have new opportunities to
explore a variety of species, habitats and technology while supporting their science
education and creating life-long connections to the natural world.
The temporary addition of exhibits like life-sized dinosaurs, live butterflies and interactive
experiences will provide new and engaging experiences for Santa Ana youth. Possible
exhibits like a collection of life-sized, animatronic dinosaurs will introduce youth to a new
time-period and show the connections between prehistoric and modern animals and their
habitats. Children will be attracted to the sheer scale of the featured species, while older
youth can dive into the details of each individual exhibit presented with scientifically
accurate information.
A walk-through butterfly aviary is another possibility and is one of the most requested
exhibits at the zoo. Youth will enjoy photographing and watching the colorful inhabitants
possibly feeding, creating an instant connection to the natural world.
With the ubiquitous presence of technology, access to interactive virtual experiences with
a greater purpose creates more proficiency for youth. Technology that encourages the
natural creativity of young children, captures their creations and makes them come to life
in real-world experiences is available. Children learn about new species by creating their
own animals and placing them in a virtual environment. Older youth discover changing
habitats by creating and solving environmental problems and seeing how their choices
directly affect the world around them. These are some of the possibilities that can allow
Santa Ana youth and their families to enjoy new experiences in safe and familiar settings.
On October 5, 2020, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA)
issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for short-term special youth exhibits at the Santa
Ana Zoo. The City notified 159 companies (17 Santa Ana companies), and five companies
submitted proposals (zero Santa Ana companies) to provide a services.
An evaluation committee reviewed and rated the proposals. The proposals were
evaluated according to the criteria listed in the RFP, which includes firm/team experience,
relevant project experience, references, manner for performing service, schedule,
operational plans and fee. The results of the RFP evaluation were as follows:

Staff recommends entering into agreements with Spineless Wonders, Imagine
Exhibitions and Breeze Creative. While PRCSA is not entering into an agreement with
Billings Productions at this time, staff is working on general agreement terms with the
vendor and expect to return to the City Council at a future date to add this vendor to the
list of three zoo exhibit vendors and include them as part of the established aggregate
total of $750,000. In order to provide the best services to the City, staff will endeavor to
distribute work equally among the four companies, but reserves the right to assign work
to one or more over another based on the needs of the Santa Ana Zoo. Specific zoo
exhibit costs will be negotiated based on the term and type of exhibit as well as
information provided in the proposal.
Upon agreement of specific zoo exhibit terms, a letter agreement will be prepared and
executed by the Executive Director of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the following account for the current year and will be budgeted and
made available in subsequent years. As part of the Citywide carry forward process,
PRCSA will submit to the Finance Department a request for any unspent and encumbered
balance to be carried forward into subsequent fiscal years during the term of the
agreement, which will be compiled with requests from other departments and will be
presented to the City Council at a future date.
The intended spending plan is as follows, subject to change:

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
FOR
SHORT-TERM SPECIAL YOUTH EXHIBITS AT THE SANTA ANA ZOO
RFP NO.: 20-104
BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION:
Santa Ana Zoo:
The Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park’s mission is: The Santa Ana Zoo, through fun, adventure, and
learning, empowers the community to save wildlife and wild spaces. The Zoo first opened in 1952 on
land donated to the City of Santa Ana by a local businessman, Joseph Edward Prentice. His
conditions on the grant deed stated the land must always be a city park, the park be named Prentice
Park, and the city maintain a zoo with ample accommodations for at least 50 monkeys. The Zoo is
owned and operated by the City of Santa Ana and receives additional financial support from the zoo
society, Friends of Santa Ana Zoo, a private 501(c)3 non-profit entity. The Zoo is open to the public
10:00 AM to 5:00 PM seven days a week, 362 days a year, and averages 250,000 visitors yearly.
In 2018, a new Master Plan and Strategic Plan for the Santa Ana Zoo including the development of
new exhibits and experiences for zoo guests was adopted. Strategic goals include enhancing the zoo
by continually delivering high-quality improvements to the guest experience, better connecting to our
local community, and consistently providing new experience enhancements or attractions for new
visitors and diverse audiences. Studies show that experiential education (learning through play,
shared and first-hand experiences) is vital to science education and creating life-long connections to
the natural world.
Short-Term Special Exhibits:
The Zoo is seeking one or more PROPOSERS to provide one or more Short-Term Special Exhibits.
The contracted PROPOSER(S) will provide a turn-key exhibit that is family-friendly, educational,
animal and/or non-animal themed.

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION:
Santa Ana Zoo:
The Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park’s mission is: The Santa Ana Zoo, through fun, adventure, and
learning, empowers the community to save wildlife and wild spaces. The Zoo first opened in 1952 on
land donated to the City of Santa Ana by a local businessman, Joseph Edward Prentice. His
conditions on the grant deed stated the land must always be a city park, the park be named Prentice
Park, and the city maintain a zoo with ample accommodations for at least 50 monkeys. The Zoo is

10:00 AM to 5:00 PM seven days a week, 362 days a year, and averages 250,000 visitors yearly.
In 2018, a new Master Plan and Strategic Plan for the Santa Ana Zoo including the development of
new exhibits and experiences for zoo guests was adopted. Strategic goals include enhancing the zoo
by continually delivering high-quality improvements to the guest experience, better connecting to our
local community, and consistently providing new experience enhancements or attractions for new
