Rose Bowl Stadium Architectural Services

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 various capital improvement projects at the Rose Bowl Stadium. The scope of work includes site condition assessments, conceptual planning, full-cycle design services, and construction administration, with specific focus on the North Videoboard Expansion and East/West Seating Improvement projects. The selected firm must be capable of operating within live-event, occupied-venue environments and utilizing multiple delivery methods such as Design-Build, CMAR, and Design-Bid-Build. Proposals are due by November 5, 2026, via the City of Pasadena's eProcurement Portal. Award selection is based on a competitive process evaluating technical expertise, financial stability, professional liability, and cost reasonableness, rather than price alone. Preference is given to Pasadena-based businesses and California-certified small or micro-businesses. The contract requires adherence to strict accessibility standards, including the ADA and California Building Code, and mandates the use of a comprehensive quality control program. Payment terms are set at 30 days following invoice approval, with annual fee adjustments capped at 3 percent based on the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area. Required submission documents include a technical proposal, a separate price proposal, a declaration of non-collusion, and various tax and legal certifications.
