Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Minnesota Zoological Garden (Zoo) is requesting proposals for a security consultant. The threat landscape has changed and the emergency planning a Zoo requires today is significantly different than it was when the Zoo first opened in 1978. The Zoo will make significant investments in its physical security and access control systems in 2024. To gain the greatest return on investment, the Zoo is seeking a consultant, whose work will inform these investments. The consultant should have experience with physical security across large, complex facilities or venues such as Zoos, educational campuses, and amusement destinations. They should be familiar with the Midwest and Twin Cities in particular. Knowledge of government regulations, state procurement procedures, and existing security grants programs are desired.
