Summary:
Summary
This is a work order-based (non-job specific) contract. Four contractors will be under contract to perform as-needed work for the 5-year contract term to complete work related to wastewater treatment and water facilities, underground utility repair, maintenance, and other minor construction. Contractors have been selected through a competitive bid process meeting all purchasing requirements. The Job Order Contracting award is in the amount of $20,000,000.00 awarding $5,000,000.00 to each of the four vendors. Two of the contractors, Gibraltar Construction Co. and Wing Plumbing, submitted bids that were rejected due to being non-responsive and not meeting minimum qualification requirements.

Background Information:
In July 2007, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) first approved the Job Order Contracting (JOC) construction delivery system for the Building and Design Division for building repair, maintenance, and minor construction. In December of 2016, the BCC approved the JOC process for Utilities. This will be the second JOC contract for Utilities.
JOC provides the County with a construction delivery system utilizing multiple contractors in a structured pricing program for small to mid-range projects not exceeding $1,000,000.00. This system dramatically reduces construction administration time.
Qualified contractors bid an adjustment factor against a fixed-price construction catalog developed specifically for the County by the Gordian Group, the County’s current JOC consultant. When a project is required, pricing is derived from the construction catalog system and the adjustment factor applied depending on the selected contractor.
Fiscal Impact:
Total estimated expenditure not-to-exceed: $20,000,000.00
Contract amount per contractor: $5,000,000.00
Funding for this Agreement will be derived from either the Water or Sewer Renewal and Replacement Fund depending on location of work performed.
