SUMMARY:

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

On June 29, 2010, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the establishment of a Job Order Contracting (JOC) Program to expedite completion of maintenance, repair, rehabilitation and remodel projects involving existing County of Orange (County) facilities. 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. These unit prices are listed in the JOC Construction Task Catalog and Technical Specifications established by the County’s consultant, The Gordian Group, Inc. (Gordian), as part of the bid documents. Gordian has developed the bid documents necessary to seek contractors for public works projects. These documents include the technical specifications and prices for each task; the general JOC requirements, conditions and details; the JOC Agreement; Notice to Contractors; and the Bid Proposal Form. The documents are all currently on file with the Clerk of the Board and have been in use with other County departments since 2010. 

 

Contractors were sought for General Contracting Services, with each contract allowing a capacity not to exceed $3 million, and for Electrical Services, with each contract allowing a capacity not to exceed $1 million. Contractors that submitted the lowest composite price adjustment factors are recommended to the Board for award.

 

The purpose of the JOC program is to expedite services as defined by the California Contractors State Licensing Board for maintenance and repair work involving health, safety and mandated projects. These projects include major and minor repairs, including replacements, as requested by John Wayne Airport’s (JWA) end-users. Following the transition of the Planning & Development and Maintenance Divisions from OC Public Works, JWA is establishing JOCs to support maintenance and capital projects.

 

Prequalification and bid documents were advertised in several industry publications and on the County’s online bid system. Contractors were required to submit and pass a pre-qualification for the bid, which took place in August 2025, and included reviews of past performance on County projects, references, and financial statements. Successful pre-qualified contractors were placed on the pre-qualified list (Attachment F) and deemed eligible to bid.


 

 

On August 6, 2025, a total of six bids were received for General Contracting Services and a total of six bids were received for Electrical Services (Attachment G). JWA has conducted its due diligence regarding the contractors. Reference checks completed included a review of performance on past projects and were found satisfactory. The license numbers of the recommended lowest responsive and responsible bidders were verified as current and active at the Time of Bid Opening through the California Contractors State License Board database on August 6, 2025. Copies of the verifications are on file. Contractors recommended for contract award were all prequalified to perform the services required (Attachment F).

 

JWA determined that it is in its best interest to award multiple contracts to ensure the maximum flexibility, while minimizing the potential for delays in delivering JOC-eligible projects.  JWA has some of the most stringent contractor requirements of County departments including each contract employee to pass a background screening to access its secured facilities. Having multiple contractors ensures availability of qualified and security-cleared workers when a project is identified.  

 

JWA is requesting Board approval to award Job Order Contracts to the above-mentioned firms. The cumulative maximum capacity for the three General Contracting Services contracts will not exceed a total of $9 million over their respective one-year terms. The cumulative maximum capacity for the two Electrical Services contracts will not exceed a total of $2 million over their respective one-year terms.

 

Subcontractors, if utilized, are not listed until the receipt of price quotations from the contractor with each issued JOC task order. See (Attachment H) for information on subcontractors and Contract Summary Forms.

 

Compliance with CEQA: This action is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 and is therefore not subject to CEQA since it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct or 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 approval of job order contracts for General Contracting Services and Electrical Services for the JWA for repair, remodel, 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 JWA FY 2025-26 Budget and will be included in the budgeting process for future years. The funding source of each project will vary depending on the nature of the project. Routine maintenance projects will be funded from John Wayne Airport Operating Fund 280. Construction and facilities development projects will be included in John Wayne Airport Construction Fund 281. Estimated utilization is 14 percent in Fund 280 and 86 percent in Fund 281.

 

The cumulative not-to-exceed value of the proposed three General Contracting Services and two Electrical Services contracts has been set to allow for maximum utilization. 


 

 

The contracts include a provision 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, these contracts may be terminated without penalty to the County.
