The Zoo is owned and operated by the City of Santa <br />Ana and receives additional financial support from the zoo society, Friends of Santa Ana Zoo (FOSAZ), a private <br />501(c)3 non-profit entity. The Zoo is open to the public 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, seven days a week, and averages <br />270,000 visitors yearly. Average daily attendance ranges from 400 to 1500. Large events may attract over 2000 <br />visitors. <br />Memberships are offered for purchase, which allow unlimited access to the SAZOO as well as other amenities. <br />Educational opportunities are offered to school groups through reservations and customers can rent various <br />locations for parties and even have a Zoo mascot visit their event for an additional charge. <br />The Zoo works closely with the Friends of the Santa Ana Zoo. FOSAZ runs the gift shop, the memberships, the <br />rides, birthday parties, all corporate events, other facility rentals, and any special events such as the Boo at the <br />Zoo and Sunsets at the Zoo. All funds raised from the sale of these items are controlled by FOSAZ. They also <br />collect and manage all donations from individuals, corporations, grants, etc. Any and all revenue generated from <br />these activities must be separated from the City of Santa Ana funds that are generated from ticket sales <br />(admissions to the Zoo). <br />Project <br />Broadly accessible online ticketing and purchasing operability is rapidly becoming a zoo industry standard. The <br />Zoo seeks a ticketing system that includes all of the following basic components: <br />• Ticketing <br />• Group Educational (School) Reservations <br />• Party or Event Reservations <br />• Membership Sales and Tracking <br />• Point of Sale (POS) for purchase of rides, stroller rentals, etc. <br />• Customer Relationship Management <br />• Marketing and Outreach to generate and track donors <br />• Reporting <br />Ticketing <br />The Zoo does not currently have the system capability to sell tickets online to the public. Tickets are sold only <br />on -site, in -person, at the ticket booth. The Zoo's goal is to allow customers to purchase tickets online for a given <br />day and time, with the option to limit the number of guests that could purchase a ticket for any given timeslot. <br />City of Santa Ana RFP 22-008 <br />Page 12 <br />
