It will be the Contractor's sole responsibility to ensure that they receive responses, if any. The County will not be responsible for oral clarifications. The Contractor is advised to participate in this meeting to ensure they have a full and clear understanding of the Job Order Contracting process prior to bidding. This Job Order Contract is a competitively bid, firm fixed priced, indefinite quantity contract which the Contractor may perform an ongoing series of individual Projects at different locations throughout the County. The bid documents include a Construction Task Catalog(R) containing construction tasks with preset Unit Prices. All Unit Prices are based on local labor, material and equipment prices and are for the direct cost of construction. It is placed with the "Contractor" for the accomplishment of general engineering work, repair, maintenance, rehabilitation, demolition and construction of infrastructure, or other real property. The Contractor will bid two Adjustment Factors to be applied to the Unit Prices. One Adjustment Factor for performing work during Normal Working Hours and a second Adjustment Factor for performing work during Other Than Normal Working Hours. The same two Adjustment Factors shall apply to every Pre-priced Task in the Construction Task Catalog(R). Four (4) Contracts will be individually awarded to the four (4) lowest, responsive, responsible bidders. Thereafter, as projects are identified the Contractor will jointly scope the work with the Owner. 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 materialmen, 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. The work of this Contract will be set forth in the Detailed Scopes of Work referenced in the individual Job Orders. The Contractor is required to complete each Detailed Scope of Work for the Job Order Price within the Job Order Completion Time. This Contract is for construction work and related services to be performed within a designated area of the County. However, if the need arises, the County reserves the right to require the Contractor to work at any location or facility under the jurisdiction of the County. The Maximum Contract Value for each Job Order Contract 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 the Contractors will receive this volume of Work. There is no Minimum Contract Value. The County may award contracts to other contractors for the same or similar Work during the term of these Job Order Contracts. The term of the Job Order Contract will be either for one (1) year or when issued Job Orders totaling the Maximum Contract Value have been completed, whichever occurs first. All Job Orders must be issued but not necessarily completed within one (1) calendar year of the commencement date of the Contract. All Job Orders issued during the term of this Contract shall be valid and in effect notwithstanding that the Detailed Scope of Work may be performed, payments may be made, and the guarantee period may continue, after such period has expired. All terms and conditions of the Contract apply to each Job Order. There are two Adjustment Factors for this Contract. When preparing a Job Order Price Proposal, the Contractor shall select the appropriate Adjustment Factor for each task. The Normal Working Hours Adjustment Factor is for work performed between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Other than Normal Working Hours is for work performed outside of Normal Working Hours including all day Saturday, Sunday and County Holidays. The Other than Normal Working Hours Adjustment Factor must be equal to or greater than the Normal Working Hours Adjustment Factor. All Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog(R) are priced at a net value of 1.0000. The Adjustment Factors shall be an increase or decrease to all the Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog(R). For example, 1.1000 would be a 10% increase to the Unit Prices and 0.9500 would be a 5% decrease to the Unit Prices. Bidders who submit separate Adjustment Factors for separate Unit Prices will be considered nonresponsive and their bid will be rejected.
