This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Fresno, California. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Basis of Bid: The County intends to award a contract to each of the four (4) lowest responsible bidders. One proposal must be submitted by each bidder wishing to bid for one of the four (4) contracts in the Class B license category. Bids will be compared, for purposes of identifying the apparent low bidder for proposed award of the contract, on the basis of the Award Criteria Figure. The Award Criteria Figure is the sum of the weighted Adjustment Factors. Bidders will submit one bid that will be considered for four (4) potential contracts being offered. Bidders will bid two sets of Adjustment Factors to be applied to the Unit Prices. One set of Adjustment Factors will be for projects located in general facilities, and one set of Adjustment Factors for projects located in secure facilities. Each set of Adjustment Factors will include one Adjustment Factor for performing work during Normal Working Hours and a second Adjustment Factor for performing work during Other Than Normal Working Hours. All Adjustment Factors apply to every task in the Construction Task Catalog. A Job Order Contract is an indefinite quantity contract pursuant to which the Contractor will perform an ongoing series of individual projects at different locations throughout the County of Fresno. The bid documents include the General Conditions and a Construction Task Catalog, which contain construction tasks with preset Unit Prices. All Unit Prices are based on local labor prevailing wages, material and equipment prices and are for the direct cost of construction. Job Order Contracts: Upon award of the contract and as projects are identified, the Contractor will jointly scope the work with the County Project Manager. The County Project Manager 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, Schedule, Sketches or Drawings, a list of subcontractors, 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 Notice to Proceed with the Job Order may be issued. The Contractor is required to complete each Detailed Scope of Work for the Job Order Price within the Job Order Completion Time. 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 is determined by multiplying the preset Unit Prices by the appropriate quantities and by the appropriate Adjustment Factor. The Job Order Price shall be 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 Work Order. The Construction Task Catalog is priced at a net value of 1.0000. The bid shall be an increase to (e.g., 1.1000) or decrease to (e.g., 0.9500) the Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog. Bidders who submit separate Adjustment Factors for separate Unit Prices will be considered nonresponsive and their bid will be rejected.
