SUMMARY:

 

Approval of the Job Order Contracts for General Contracting Services will expedite the completion of County of Orange repair, rehabilitation and maintenance projects and improve public safety and customer service.

 

 

 

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. Contractors bid on a price adjustment factor that is multiplied by pre-determined unit prices for materials, equipment and labor.

 

The purpose of the JOC program is to expedite services 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. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20128.5 the JOC program is not allowed to be used for design or contract drawing services and may not be used for new construction.

 

The JOC program functions as an extension of the available workforce to maintain and repair County assets without incurring the full-time burden of employing individual companies and personnel. JOC contractors are not guaranteed or assured work but respond to the needs of the County on an on-call basis. Depending on their current workload, these contractors have limited crews that may or may not be available to respond to the County’s needs. Therefore, it is prudent to have more than one on-call contractor available should other contractors on the list lack the capacity to respond. Task Orders for the physical work for JOC contracts are generated as a result of various events and/or circumstances.

 

The current JOCs for General Contracting Services (Services) were approved by the Board on October 31, 2023, and will expire on December 11, 2024. In an effort to maintain the Services, a new slate of JOCs is necessary.

 

On July 10, 2024, the Director of OC Public Works approved bid documents for use with the JOC program for Services and authorized the advertisement for bids. 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 Summary is included as Attachment N.

 

OC Public Works is procuring these services in accordance with the 2024 Construction Policy Manual (CPM), Section 3.5-113. The Orange County Preference Policy is not applicable to the award of JOCs.

 

OC Public Works is recommending Board approval of the JOCs for Services, effective December 12, 2024, through December 11, 2025. The aggregate total for the twelve contracts will not exceed $72 million over the one-year term.

These contracts, due to the nature of the services, could require the addition of subcontractors. In order to add subcontractors to the contracts, the contractors 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 M for the Contract Summary Forms.

 

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 the action pertains to 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 Budget Control 080, OC Public Works, FY 2024-25 Budget, 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.
