The University of Central Arkansas (UCA) is requesting Proposals from General Contractors interested in providing Job Order Contracting (JOC) services to the University. The selected Job Order Contractor must have an Arkansas Contractor's License, shall provide project administration, planning and the above services listed for all campus owned facilities including, but not limited to, new construction, repairs, alterations, replacements, maintenance, etc. The University has determined that the use of Job Order Contracting has been of benefit by providing an effective means of reducing the total lead-time and cost for small trade projects at UCA's facilities. The University reserves the right to award this contract to multiple vendors as in the best interest of the University. Arkansas Code 19-4-1416 outlines the requirements for JOC and authorizes the University to utilize this contracting procedure. The resulting contract will be considered an "On-call contract" meaning the University will have the ability to continue to call upon the successful bidder to conduct additional construction services as required by the University. Entering into this contract as a result of this Request for Proposal Invitation could be renewed for a total of FOUR (4) years, in one (1) year increments. If so what would be the maximum amount of Mark-up (percentage increase) in pricing would your company apply to the first year and the following years of renewal. The selected General Contractor must have an Arkansas Contractors license, and shall provide construction, project administration, and planning for all campus owned facilities including, but not limited to, new construction, repairs, alterations, replacements, maintenance, etc. The contractor shall be required to bid all subcontractor work, and the UCA Procurement Department will receive and open the bids with the Contractor present at the bid opening. The university may supply all materials for the work with no additional markup if the materials may be purchased off state contracts at a lesser price than the contractor would be able to procure. All Work Orders, including those with multiple parts, issued for the same project shall be treated as a single Work Order for purposes of the $1.2M, limit on Work Orders. Reasonable extensions may be granted at the beginning of each new fiscal year not to exceed a total of four (4) years if the price remains mutually agreeable to the university and the quality of work is satisfactory to the university.
