body
BACKGROUND:
On November 19, 2013, your Board adopted Resolution No. 072896, which authorized the Director of Public Works to proceed with preparing plans and specifications, and conformance with prevailing wage scale requirements for Job Order Contracts (JOC), and advertising for bids (streamlined process).
Public Contract Code Section 20128.5 authorizes a board of supervisors to award individual annual JOCs for repair, remodeling, or other repetitive work to be done according to unit prices, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (adjusted annually based on changes in the California Consumer Price Index). Contractors bid Adjustment Factors to be applied to the Unit Prices for specific items of work. The price of an individual project is determined by multiplying the preset Unit Prices by the appropriate quantities of work and Adjustment Factors.
On Thursday, February 20, 2020 at 2:30 p.m., sealed bids were received, accepted and subsequently referred to Public Works for checking and recommendation for JOC-2021, JOC-2022, and JOC-2023 for Engineering, Construction, Roads and Utilities. The bid documents call for up to three (3) separate JOCs, and the lowest responsible bidder on one contract is ineligible from consideration for each successive contract.
DISCUSSION:
The Department has examined the bids received for the subject JOCs and determined the lowest responsible bidders for each JOC.
The Department will issue individual Job Orders, including a scope of work and a not-to-exceed amount, to the JOC contractors. The not-to-exceed amount for each individual Job Order will vary; however, their cumulative sum will not exceed the maximum amount of the agreement. Any increase above the amount or term of the agreements would be submitted to your Board for consideration.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution and agreements as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The terms of these agreements are from March 10, 2020 through March 9, 2021. There is no minimum fiscal obligation for each agreement and the maximum fiscal obligation for each agreement is $5,000,000. The total maximum fiscal obligation for all agreements combined is $15,000,000. The JOC is a requirements agreement. The various individual job orders will be funded through previously approved and appropriated projects.
