Long Beach Amphitheater Project – Harbor Development Permit No. 25-061

The City of Long Beach, through its Harbor Department and Board of Harbor Commissioners, has approved Harbor Development Permit No. 25-061 to develop an amphitheater event venue on an existing parking lot within the Queen Mary leasehold on Pier H of the Long Beach Harbor District. The project will feature a main performance stage, seating for up to 12,000 attendees, concessions, restrooms, lounges, administrative offices, and a new Southern California Edison substation to support operations. Construction activities include site clearance, grading, and minor adjustments to underground utilities. The venue is intended to host live entertainment, performances, and community events. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and is subject to environmental compliance measures including a pre-construction bird nest survey during nesting season and adherence to South Coast Air Quality Management District regulations for dust and noise control. The applicant and project executor is the City of Long Beach Economic Development and Opportunity Department, with oversight and permitting authority held by the Port of Long Beach Harbor Department. Key contacts include Joseph Rodriguez-Jozwiak from the Economic Development Department and Anjana Mepani from the Port’s Environmental Planning Division. Although the project is classified as a forecast and includes environmental documentation such as a Notice of Exemption and a filing fee receipt, it is not structured as a federal acquisition contract and contains no FAR clauses, pricing details, evaluation factors, contract types, or federal representation requirements. No formal contract value, payment terms, delivery schedule, or award methodology is provided. The place of performance is clearly defined as 1051 Queens Highway, Long Beach, California, and acceptance of the constructed facility will be governed by local regulatory authorities. All compliance, inspection, and permitting activities are managed under California environmental law and municipal procedures rather than federal procurement regulations.
