This is an Emergency FEMA Technical Assistance file related to the Rose Bowl Operating Company's Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) project for plumbing infrastructure maintenance at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. The project involves preconstruction and design-assist services, including a funded subsurface field investigation program, and conditional Phase 2 construction services for the replacement and rehabilitation of the stadium's water, sewer, and gas distribution systems beneath the stadium concourse. The work implements recommendations from the Rose Bowl Sewer and Water Asset Management Plan (2022) and must be executed while the stadium remains operational with continuous event use. The contractor must maintain domestic plumbing and fire protection service throughout construction, as these systems share a combined infrastructure. The RBOC will evaluate proposals based on directly relevant wet-utility experience, open-cut main replacement and trenchless sewer rehabilitation capabilities, live venue event-window phasing expertise, subsurface risk management, collaborative value optimization, financial strength, safety record, and commitment to Pasadena-based subcontractors and local workforce development. A Selection Committee will review all proposals and shortlist no more than five highest-scoring finalists for interviews and final scoring per Pasadena Municipal Code standards.

The procurement follows a qualifications-based selection process with separate 100% Construction Document sets provided for the Base Bid and alternates. The contract structure includes both preconstruction services in Phase 1 and optional Phase 2 construction authorization. This project is funded through FEMA technical assistance, indicating federal emergency management support for critical infrastructure rehabilitation at a major public venue. The work scope emphasizes phasing coordination with the stadium's event calendar, subsurface investigation requirements, and trenchless methodology implementation to minimize disruption to ongoing operations.
