Summary
This is a JOC construction delivery contract; four firms will be under contract to perform as-needed work for large construction projects. Contractors have been selected through a competitive bid process meeting all County purchasing requirements.
Body
Background Information:
In July 2007, the Board of County Commissioners approved the JOC construction delivery system for the former Real Estate Management Department for building repair, maintenance, and minor construction.
This JOC provides the County with a construction delivery system utilizing multiple contractors in a structured pricing program for large construction projects. This system dramatically reduces construction administration time.
Qualified contractors bid an adjustment factor or multiplier against a fixed-priced construction catalog developed specifically for the County by the Gordian Group, the County’s current JOC consultant. When a project is facilitated, pricing is derived from the construction catalog utilizing the fixed multiplier provided by each awarded contractor.
Thirteen (13) bids were received with award recommended to Centennial Contractors Enterprises Inc., Harbour Construction Inc., Johnson Laux Construction, and New Vista Builders Group LLC. based on the lowest responsive, responsible price multipliers received meeting specifications.
Fiscal Impact:
Total estimated expenditure not-to-exceed: $50,000,000
The total contract amount will be divided among four (4) contractors for a $12,500,000 upset limit to each vendor.
Funding is derived from the various Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds as individual job orders are issued.
