The County intends to award up to three (3) Job Order Contracts under this solicitation. The Contract(s) will be awarded to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder(s). Thereafter, as projects are identified the Contractor will jointly scope the work with the County. The County will prepare a Detailed Scope of Work and issue a Request for Proposal to the Contractor. The Contractor will then prepare a Job Order Proposal for the Project including a Job Order Price Proposal, drawings and sketches, a list of subcontractors and suppliers, construction schedule, and other requested documentation. The Job Order Price shall equal the value of the approved Job Order Price Proposal. The value of the Job Order Price Proposal shall be calculated by summing the total of the calculation for each Pre-priced Task (Unit Price x quantity x Adjustment Factor) plus the value of all Non Pre-priced Tasks. If the Job Order Proposal is found to be complete and reasonable, a Job Order may be issued. A Job Order will reference the Detailed Scope of Work and set forth the Job Order Completion Time, and the Job Order Price. The Job Order Price shall be a lump sum, fixed price for the completion of the Detailed Scope of Work. A separate Job Order will be issued for each Project. Extra work, credits, and deletions will be contained in a Supplemental Job Order. This Contract is for construction work and related services to be performed within San Joaquin County.

It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 110164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded. The Federal minimum wage rates for this Federal Aid Job Orders as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the books issued for bidding purposes entitled "Bid and Contract," and in copies of this book that may be examined at the offices described above where Contract Documents, special provisions, and bid forms may be seen.

For Federal Aid Job Orders, attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage requirements in Section 7-1.02K(2) of this book. If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors will pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors will pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.
