Flight_Cage_Bird_Pools_Drawings.pdf

This document consists of technical drawings prepared by the Growth and Resource Management Department Environmental Management Division for the Bird Flight Cage Pools Construction Project in Volusia County, Florida. The drawings illustrate the design specifications for two new in-ground concrete bird pools to be constructed at the Marine Science Center Bird Hospital, along with the removal of two existing pools. The project includes one large pool and one small pool, each with detailed profile specifications indicating water depths, slope gradients, curb heights, and shallow bay areas designed to accommodate various bird sizes and safety requirements. The large pool features a 4-foot water level with a 6-inch radius edge curb, a 6-foot shallow bay area, and gradual slopes of approximately 15 degrees. The small pool contains a 10-foot water level with a 5-foot shallow bay area and steeper slopes of approximately 45 degrees. Both pools incorporate sand components, sloped beach-like entrances, and safety fence inserts to facilitate safe water access for birds.

The drawings indicate existing filtration infrastructure and pool locations within the current flight cage structure, providing reference points for the new construction. The design emphasizes accessibility for small birds through curved pool edges and graduated slope configurations. The document serves as the technical specifications and site plan reference for contractors bidding on this removal and construction project, establishing the dimensional and structural requirements necessary for project completion.
