The City of Marshfield, Wisconsin, has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for architectural services with regard to the Wildwood Zoo Welcome Centre and Cougar Exhibit project.
Wildwood Zoo currently specialises in animals native to North America includingKodiak bears, cougars, fox, wolves and lynx.

The bears access the woods from the expanded primary exhibit via an enclosed 65 foot bridge.Now, Wildwood Zoo's existing cougar building is set to be completely remodelled to include an expanded cougar exhibit, ADA restrooms, an animal handling area and an educational centre.
The successful consultant will be expected to work with a committee as the remodelling plans are fully developed.

Submissions will be judged using the following criteria:
- Consultant’s understanding and technical approach to the project.
- Overall responsiveness of the proposal to the RFP.
- Consultant’s familiarity with the building renovations, zoo operations and environment building design.
- Pertinent experience and qualifications of the project team.
