Water_Maintenance_Project_-_Plan_Check_Revision_1_.pdf

This is a plan check revision document related to a Construction Manager at-Risk (CMAR) contract for the Rose Bowl Operating Company (RBOC) in Pasadena, California, for a plumbing infrastructure enhancement and maintenance project at Rose Bowl Stadium. The project scope encompasses the replacement and rehabilitation of the stadium's water, sewer, and gas distribution systems located beneath the stadium concourse, based on recommendations from the Rose Bowl Sewer and Water Asset Management Plan (2022). The work will be performed in phases, with Phase 1 consisting of preconstruction and design-assist services including a funded subsurface field investigation program, and Phase 2 (subject to RBOC's option to authorize) encompassing construction services. The project is notably complex due to the stadium's continuous operational status during construction; the venue remains in active event use throughout the work period, and the domestic plumbing and fire protection service share a single combined system that must remain operational at all times. The contract documents define the Base Bid and multiple alternates, each supported by separate 100% construction document sets. The RBOC prioritizes contractors with directly relevant wet-utility experience, expertise in open-cut main replacement and trenchless sewer rehabilitation, proven capability in managing live, occupied venue event-window phasing while maintaining water and fire service continuity, and demonstrated subsurface risk management competency.

The selection process involves a Selection Committee that will review proposals and select no more than five highest-scoring finalists for shortlisting, interviews, and final scoring based on established RFP criteria. Key evaluation factors include financial strength, safety record, collaborative approach to achieving optimal project value within budget and the stadium's event calendar, and commitment to Pasadena-based subcontractors and local workforce development. While specific pricing terms, contract duration, and renewal options are not detailed in this plan check revision document, the project represents a significant infrastructure investment requiring qualified contractors capable of managing the unique operational constraints of executing maintenance work within an active, revenue-generating entertainment venue.
