Glen Helen Amphitheater Redevelopment

San Bernardino County Project and Facilities Management Department is requesting proposals for multidisciplinary advisory services to support the redevelopment and long-term operation of Glen Helen Amphitheater, with proposals due October 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a mandatory virtual proposal conference on September 14, 2026.

The scope encompasses strategic, financial, technical, commercial, and procurement expertise across redevelopment evaluation, market-interest assessment, ownership and operating-structure analysis, and guidance through a competitive procurement process to identify a qualified operator, developer, or partner. Services will be performed at Glen Helen Amphitheater (2575 Glen Helen Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407) and the San Bernardino County Government Center (385 N Arrowhead Avenue, 5th floor, San Bernardino, CA 92415), with virtual meetings as needed. The initial contract term is two years beginning tentatively November 17, 2026, with the County retaining the right to extend subject to approvals and funding availability.

The County intends to fund this engagement through previously set-aside funding; the ultimate investment level and allocation of financial responsibilities will be determined during the advisory engagement. Proposers must submit detailed pricing in a separately sealed Attachment E, specifying total not-to-exceed fees, hourly rates for key team members, monthly retainer amounts (if applicable), commission or success-fee calculations and conditions, and travel and reimbursable expenses. Compensation structures may include fixed fees, task-based fees, monthly retainers, hourly rates, commissions, success fees, or transaction-based fees. Milestone-based payments will be tied to completion and acceptance of deliverables under the contract's Fiscal Provisions. Proposals remain valid and binding for nine months following submission.

Questions are due September 17, 2026. Shortlisted proposers will participate in in-person interviews and presentations between October 13 and October 16, 2026. Proposers must register with the County's Electronic Procurement Network (ePro) and submit six hard copies alongside electronic submission. Required certifications include debarment and suspension (Attachment D), conflict-of-interest disclosures (Attachment L), and insurance affidavits (Attachment J). The County reserves the right to award one or multiple contracts and reject any or all proposals.
