Request for Proposals - Sacramento International Airport Parking Reservation System Services

The Rose Bowl Operating Company (RBOC), acting on behalf of the City of Pasadena, is seeking proposals from qualified engineering firms to provide full design services for replacing the plumbing infrastructure at the historic Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. The project involves comprehensive design work for replacing aging gas, water, and sewer lines while maintaining the stadium's historical integrity, with work partially funded through the Save America's Treasures grant. Proposers must demonstrate expertise in designing infrastructure systems for large venues and meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards, with personnel specifically qualified in designing infrastructure for historic sports sites. The evaluation will be points-based, considering approach and methodology (55 points), experience and qualifications (30 points), cost proposal (15 points), and local business preferences (5 points). The proposal submission deadline is January 31, 2025, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for December 27, 2024. The initial contract term is one year, with options to extend for two additional one-year terms. Firms must provide detailed pricing for pre-design evaluation, design services, documentation and permitting, and construction support.

The procurement opportunity appears open to a broad range of engineering firms, with no specific set-aside designations explicitly mentioned in the documents. An Asset Management Plan from 2022 indicates that over 50% of the existing sewer and water lines are more than 75 years old, suggesting significant infrastructure challenges. The City has already secured $3 million from the State of California for infrastructure improvements, emphasizing public safety and emergency preparedness. While no incumbent vendors are specifically named, the project requires firms to ensure uninterrupted stadium functionality during infrastructure replacement and comply with historical preservation requirements. Though a precise total project budget is not stated, the Asset Management Plan estimates potential replacement costs ranging from $385,000 to $2.15 million for sewer and water line replacements. Potential funding sources include the EPA Water Infrastructure and Innovation Act (WIFIA), California Infrastructure State Revolving Fund, and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Proposers must complete multiple compliance documents, including conflict of interest disclosures, disqualification forms, and relevant experience documentation.
