Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Improve County Government Operations.
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The Job Order Contracts are unencumbered and establish maximum contract capacities only. Expenditures will occur only as individual job orders are issued and funded through projects approved as part of the Capital Improvement Program or reimbursed by departments initiating projects using their own or other available funding sources.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Public Contract Code Section 20128.5 authorizes the County to use Job Order Contract (JOC) Services to rapidly engage contractors to perform the repair, renovation, remodeling, or other repetitive work at existing public facilities utilizing a unit price structure. Experience with this process has shown that the JOC procurement method offers several advantages over traditional procurement methods for construction services, which require the development of detailed Bid Documents, advertisement of the project, and procurement of individual project-related construction contracts and approvals. The JOC method results in both time and cost savings.
The recommended contracts will allow the Project and Facilities Management Department (PFMD) to continue the savings of time, effort, and cost through the JOC program, thereby achieving the County and Chief Executive Officer’s goals and objectives to operate in a fiscally responsible and business-like manner and improve County government operations.
PROCUREMENT
On April 7, 2026 (Item No. 19), the Board of Supervisors (Board) authorized PFMD to advertise for competitive bids for 10 General Building JOC contracts with a value of $3,000,000 each, five General Engineering JOC Contracts with a value of $3,000,000 each, three Mechanical JOC contracts with a value of $2,000,000 each, and one Demolition and Abatement JOC contract with a value of $1,000,000.
On April 10, 2026, PFMD advertised for bids in the Daily Press, six Plan Rooms, and on the County’s Electronic Procurement Network in accordance with the County’s formal bidding procedures.
On April 27, 2026, prospective bidders attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting.
Bids received are based on the bid adjustment factor provided by each contractor, which the contractor multiplies against “pre-priced” unit costs (compiled in a project task catalog), which is part of the contract. In addition, the lowest bid is determined by a formula applied to the eight bid factors submitted for the categories of General Building, General Engineering, Mechanical, and Demolition and Abatement, which vary based on the location, time of day, and response time required for the project. The adjustment factor represents all of the contractor’s costs (indirect and direct). Profit is not included in the pre-priced unit costs.
