for a lump sum price of $280,000 for construction of the Santa Ana
Zoo Necropsy Facility,

DISCUSSION
In 2002 the Santa Ana Zoo was notified by the American Zoological
Association Accreditation Board that a Necropsy Facility needed to be
constructed. As a result, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Agency pursued funding to construct this building.
The construction of the Necropsy Facility is addressed in the Zoo Master
Plan. The addition of a Necropsy facility will allow the Zoo staff to
conduct further research on animals that die in the zoo thus providing
knowledge to better preserve the lives of other animals,
The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on November 14 and 16, 2005, and
bids were opened on December 8, 2005, A summary of the bid invitations
mailed, the bids received, and the bid results follows,

bid was submitted by M.J. Contractors, for $280,000, which is above the
Engineer's estimate of $195,000, The high bid amount is attributed to the
uniqueness of the project as evidenced by the small number of bidders,
