099742017-_RBOC_Plumbing_Infra_-_Sewer_Maintenance_Project_Issue_for_Bid.pdf

This is an Issue for Bid document from the Rose Bowl Operating Company (RBOC) for a Construction Manager at-Risk (CMAR) to provide preconstruction and design-assist services for the Plumbing Infrastructure Enhanced Maintenance Project at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. The project involves the replacement and rehabilitation of the stadium's water, sewer, and gas distribution systems beneath the stadium concourse, implementing recommendations from the Rose Bowl Sewer and Water Asset Management Plan (2022). The work must be performed at an operating venue that remains in continuous event use throughout construction, with the critical requirement that domestic plumbing and fire protection services—which share a combined system—remain operational. The RBOC is seeking a CMAR with demonstrated expertise in wet-utility work, open-cut main replacement, trenchless sewer rehabilitation, live-venue event-window phasing, subsurface risk management, and financial strength with strong safety records. Phase 1 includes preconstruction services and a funded subsurface field investigation program, with Phase 2 construction services contingent upon RBOC's authorization. The Base Bid and alternate bids are each defined by separate 100% Construction Document sets. A Selection Committee will review proposals and shortlist no more than five highest-scoring finalists for interview and final scoring.

The solicitation emphasizes evaluation criteria including directly relevant wet-utility experience, capability for managing live-occupied venue constraints and water/fire service continuity, collaborative approach to achieving optimal value within project budget and stadium event calendar, financial strength and safety record, and commitment to Pasadena-based subcontractors and local workforce development. Specific response deadlines, site visit requirements, bidders' conferences, and pricing terms are outlined in the Contract Documents referenced in the City's Standard Form of Agreement, which establish the comprehensive terms governing proposal submission and contractor selection.
