This is a Notice of Interest Form issued by the Rose Bowl Operating Company in Pasadena, California, in conjunction with a Request for Proposals seeking architectural services. The form requires interested firms to confirm their participation by Friday, September 25, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., submitting responses to Nancy Silver, Chief Compliance Officer at the Rose Bowl Operating Company, or to Lena Bigelow, Owner's Representative at Cooperative LA. The selected architectural firm will serve as the Venue Architect and long-term design partner, providing comprehensive services including site condition assessments, conceptual planning, pre-design and concept design, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding and construction administration, and budget construction estimates for anticipated capital improvements at the Rose Bowl campus. The firm will also prepare presentation materials for visual and oral presentations to the RBOC Board. The current architectural services agreement expires December 31, 2026, and this procurement will establish a successor agreement. A Notice to Proceed is anticipated on or about January 4, 2027, with the understanding that any services performed prior to full execution of the definitive Services Contract will be performed at the selected firm's own risk. Failure to return the Notice of Interest Form may result in no further communication regarding the RFP.

The selected firm will be positioned to provide architectural services for various capital improvement projects under multiple delivery methods, including Design-Bid-Build, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), and Design-Build. While the RBOC does not currently have identified funding for all such projects, the organization must secure architectural services now to enable rapid advancement when funding becomes available. All capital improvement projects remain subject to funding availability and RBOC approval. The Notice of Interest Form requires firms to indicate whether they will or will not submit a proposal, with space provided for explanation if declining to participate.
