Bids shall be submitted using forms furnished and bound in the Project Manual(s) and in
accordance with Instructions to Bidders and shall be accompanied by a Certified or Cashier's
Check or Bid Bond for $25,000 per bid. Only one bid per Contractor shall be submitted for all
contracts.
The apparent lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder shall be selected for consideration for
award of each JOC contract but will be excluded from consideration for each successive
contract. The County reserves the right to award up to three (3) individual contracts for
Mechanical Works: JOC 2406, JOC 2407, and JOC 2408. One (1) contract will be awarded to the
successful lowest bidder, one (1) to the second lowest bidder, and one (1) to the third lowest
bidder. This Contract is for Mechanical Works work and related services to be performed within a
designated area of the County. However, if the need arises, the Owner reserves the right to
require the Contractor to work at any location or facility under the jurisdiction of the Owner.
The work to be done consists, in general, of providing all labor, materials, tools, appurtenances,
and equipment required as well as any other items and details not mentioned above but
required by the Contract Documents and as directed by the Director of Public Works.
There is no Minimum Contract Value for each JOC. The Maximum Contract Value for each JOC is
$5,000,000. The Contractors will not be issued Job Orders which in total exceed the Maximum
Contract Value. The County does not guarantee Contractors will receive this volume of work.
The County may award contracts to other contractors for the same or similar work during the
term of these Job Order Contracts.
No bidder may withdraw their bid for a period of ninety (90) days after the date set for the
opening thereof. A bond of $1,000,000 will be required for the faithful performance of each contract, and a
separate bond in the amount of $1,000,000 will be required to guarantee the payment of
wages for services, engaged and for materials used in the performance of each contract. If the
collective total of Job Orders issued exceeds $1,000,000, an increase in the payment and
performance bond will be required in an amount of no less than one hundred percent (100%) of
the Maximum Contract Value. At no time may the sum of issued Job Orders exceed the amount
of the Payment Bond and Performance Bond. Application of Liquidated Damages and the value of liquidated damages will be determined by
the County on a Job Order by Job Order basis. Each Request for Proposal will state whether
Liquidated Damages will be applied to an individual Job Order. A typical range for Liquidated
Damages is, but not limited to, $300-$1,000 per day.
