Site work and renovation of a municipal facility in San Diego, California. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

Description of Work: Completed in 1992, Birch Aquarium is located at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla. The facility is comprised of aquarium and science museum display spaces, husbandry spaces, classrooms, administrative and support offices, a gift shop, and cafe. There have been minimal improvements over the past 30 years, and the aged facility requires programmatic, code, and cosmetic improvements to continue to attract visitors. In response to these needs, a series of proposed projects envision an enhanced and more interactive user experience for guests. To facilitate this, construction will be phased to allow Birch Aquarium to remain operational throughout execution of the work. The anticipated projects have been organized as a multi-zone program encompassing specific needs and desires for each as follows. Note that zone numbers do not necessarily correspond with construction phasing: This project consists of modifying the existing UCSD Birch Aquarium Living Seas Zone and associated infrastructure to support the new tanks in this project. The living seas area will be selectively demolished and new tanks, made of fiberglass and concrete, will be added to the facilities. Additions to the area will include infill framing for the new tanks, ACT ceiling, wall graphics, digital animal ID screens, etc. Rudolph and Sletten is seeking Bids for the Bid Packages (BP) listed below.
