SUMMARY:

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

On June 29, 2010, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the establishment of a Job Order Contract (JOC) program to expedite completion of repair and rehabilitation projects involving existing County of Orange (County) facilities and structures. The JOC program includes a competitive public works bidding process based on a price adjustment factor that is multiplied by the unit prices of materials, equipment and labor established by the County consultant, The Gordian Group, Inc., and approved by the Board as part of the bid documents.

 

The purpose of the JOC program is to expedite services, as defined by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), for maintenance and repair work involving health, safety and mandated projects. These efforts include major and minor repairs and replacements, as requested by County departments. OC Public Works utilizes JOCs to provide services to multiple agencies on an as-needed basis. The work is assigned to whichever contractor is available and, depending upon the request, work can be assigned to multiple contractors at the same time.

 

The current JOCs for Painting, Plumbing and Asbestos Removal and Decontamination Services (Services) were approved by the Board on November 5, 2019, and will expire on December 11, 2020. Seven JOCS for Services was approved in an amount not to exceed $4.9 million each for a cumulative total amount not to exceed $34.3 million. In order to maintain the Services, a new slate of JOCs is necessary.

 

On July 1, 2020, the Director of OC Public Works approved bid documents for use with the JOC program for Services and authorized the advertisement for bids. Asbestos and Decontamination Services were removed and Elevator Services was added to the JOC advertisement. The bid documents were advertised in several industry publications and on the County online bid system. Contractors were required to submit a pre-qualification questionnaire and pre-qualify to submit a proposal for these Services. The Bid Summaries are included as Attachments I, J and K.

 

The amount for each JOC contract has increased by $100,000 due to a change in the Consumer Price Index. The total not to exceed amount for the new JOC contracts has been reduced based on the usage (26) and the encumbrance amount of $2.9 million as of September 23, 2020.

 

OC Public Works is requesting Board approval of the JOCs for Painting Services effective December 12, 2020, through December 11, 2021. The cumulative maximum for the four contracts will not exceed a total of $4 million over their respective one-year terms.

These contracts, due to the nature of the services, could require the addition of subcontractors. In order to add subcontractor(s) to the contracts, the provider/contractor must seek express consent from OC Public Works. Should the addition of a subcontractor impact the scope of work and/or contract amounts, OC Public Works will bring the items back to the Board for approval. See Attachment H for the Contract Summary Form.

 

Compliance with CEQA: This action is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is therefore not subject to CEQA, since it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The approval of this agenda item does not commit the County to a definite course of action in regard to a project since it involves contracts for services associated with potential future County repair, rehabilitation and maintenance projects. This proposed activity is therefore not subject to CEQA. Any future action connected to this approval that constitutes a project will be reviewed for compliance with CEQA.

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

Appropriations for the JOC program are included in the FY 2020-21 Budget for OC Public Works, Budget Control 080, and will be included in the budgeting process for future years.

 

In an effort to consolidate the administration of various internal JOC programs under OC Public Works for Countywide utilization, the not to exceed amount has been set to maximize utilization of the JOCs by OC Public Works and other County departments. Individual job orders will be encumbered as needed by various departments, provided sufficient appropriations are available in the budget and future budget years.

 

The proposed contracts include provisions stating the contracts are subject to, and contingent upon, applicable budgetary appropriations being approved by the Board for each fiscal year during the term of the contracts. If such appropriations are not approved, the contracts may be immediately terminated without penalty to the County.
