Title
GENERAL SERVICES - ESTABLISH JOB ORDER CONTRACT CAPACITY AND AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PURCHASING AND CONTRACTING TO ADVERTISE AND AWARD JOB ORDER CONTRACTS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The Department of General Services requests authority to establish $150 million in Job Order Contracts (JOC) capacity that may be utilized until exhausted to execute approved capital and major maintenance repair and remodeling work. The JOC authority would be utilized for work budgeted within departments for the Major Maintenance Implementation Plan (MMIP), minor capital remodels, along with other general maintenance and repairs. Contracts are advertised periodically based on major maintenance and department forecasts of work with job orders issued under these contracts on an as-needed basis as projects are funded. The County of San Diego would continue to issue smaller, specialty job order contracts that provide greater opportunity for smaller, local contractors to participate in the program.
The Board of Supervisors (Board) previously approved authority for $121 million in JOC capacity on May 19, 2020 (23). This authority has been exhausted and additional capacity is needed to award new JOC contracts.
Typically, 12 to 16 JOCs are awarded annually with a $2.5 million up to $5.4 million value each depending on the expected workload as determined by the annual approved MMIP. Project-based job orders are issued against each of these contracts depending on project scope. The average job order is approximately $150,000 and includes trades such as roofing, heating/ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), renovations, fire protection, paving, and electrical work for County facilities. There are typically 150 to 175 active job orders annually. The continued use of JOC will enable the County to provide greater efficiency and speed of delivery in scoping, contracting, and constructing projects.
