099742017-_RBOC_Plumbing_Infra_-_Water_Maintenance_Project_Issue_for_Bid.pdf

This is an Issue for Bid document from the Rose Bowl Operating Company (RBOC) in Pasadena, California, soliciting proposals for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to provide preconstruction and design-assist services for the Plumbing Infrastructure Enhanced Maintenance Project. The project involves the replacement and rehabilitation of the stadium's water, sewer, and gas distribution systems beneath the stadium concourse, as recommended by the Rose Bowl Sewer and Water Asset Management Plan (2022). The work must be performed while the stadium remains in continuous event use, requiring careful coordination to maintain the domestic plumbing and fire protection service that share a single combined system. The Base Bid and each alternate are defined by separate 100% Construction Document sets. The RBOC seeks a CMAR demonstrating directly relevant wet-utility experience, expertise in open-cut main replacement and trenchless sewer rehabilitation, proficiency in live venue event-window phasing with water and fire service continuity, subsurface risk management capabilities, collaborative problem-solving abilities, financial strength, strong safety records, and commitment to Pasadena-based subcontractors and local workforce development. A Selection Committee will review proposals and shortlist no more than five highest-scoring finalists for interviews and final scoring based on established evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP.

The solicitation structure includes both Phase 1 preconstruction and design-assist services with a funded subsurface field investigation program, with Phase 2 construction services contingent upon RBOC exercising its option to authorize the work. Proposals must include statements of qualifications, technical proposals, and price proposals. The evaluation emphasizes the contractor's ability to work collaboratively within the project budget while accommodating the stadium's event calendar constraints. Specific response dates, due dates, site visit information, bidder's meeting details, and contract term provisions are referenced within the Contract Documents enumerated in the City's Standard Form of Agreement, which are incorporated by reference in this solicitation.
