AI Contract Overview

The Rose Bowl Operating Company and the City of Pasadena are seeking a qualified architectural firm to serve as a long-term Venue Architect for the Rose Bowl Stadium. The primary objective is to establish a partnership for the full lifecycle of anticipated capital improvement projects, specifically the East/West Seating Improvement Project and the North Videoboard Expansion Project. The seating project focuses on achieving ADA compliance through reconfigured seating tiers and treads, while the videoboard project involves replacing the current configuration with a single new board while preserving mountain sightlines. Design efforts for these projects are anticipated to occur between January 2027 and December 2028, with a target construction start date of January 2, 2029. The selected firm will provide comprehensive services including conceptual planning, design development, construction estimates, and value engineering. Proposals must be submitted in two separate parts, a technical proposal and a price proposal, by November 5, 2026. Evaluation is based on a competitive selection process considering municipal experience and the ability to work within live-event, occupied-venue environments. The contract requires adherence to strict accessibility standards, including Title II of the ADA and California Building Code. Compensation involves fixed design fees per project phase and hourly rates for on-call services, subject to a 3% annual escalation cap. Preference is given to firms with a physical location in Pasadena or those certified as small or micro-businesses by the State of California.

Full Description

1.2.1 Anticipated Capital Projects As part of this procurement, RBOC will seek pricing and service approaches related to its anticipated capital improvement program. The Venue Architect is expected to serve as a long-term partner capable of supporting these and future projects across their full lifecycle. Anticipated projects include, but are not limited to: 1.2.1.1 East / West Seating Improvement Project. This project will replace the existing pink seating on both sides of the Bowl, West Section (Tunnels 1 through 8) and East Section (Tunnels 15 through 22). The project's principal driver is that the existing seats are not ADA compliant; the goal is larger, ADA-compliant seating, which will require the Architect to evaluate and design a reconfigured seating tier and tread, including elimination of the third row within each tier where necessary to accommodate the larger seats. The Architect shall also evaluate the potential addition of new center-line access aisles, stairs and handrails, within each seating section. Anticipated Design-Bid-Build or Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery, with the Design Team's efforts anticipated between January 2027 and December 2028, and a schedule targeting a January 2, 2029 construction start (subject to change) 1.2.1.2 North Videoboard Expansion Project. This project will replace the existing videoboard configuration, consisting of one large center videoboard and two smaller flanking boards, with a single new videoboard. The Architect shall evaluate and recommend whether the new videoboard should be mounted consistent with the current configuration or integrated further into the stadium structure, and shall coordinate structural engineering as part of the design. The overall height of the videoboard structure is to remain consistent with the existing installation, in order to preserve sightlines to the surrounding mountains and minimize impacts to neighboring properties. Design efforts for this project may potentially commence in January 2027, concurrent with the East / West Seating Improvement Project, though the design start date remains to be determined. Anticipated CMAR or Design-Build delivery, with a schedule targeting a January 2, 2029 construction start (subject to change), consistent with the East / West Seating Improvement Project. 1.2.1.3 Other Projects. Additional capital improvement projects to be determined as RBOC's capital plan advances.
