Invitation for Construction Bid: FY28 JOC Procurement

Project DescriptionA Job Order Contract (JOC) is an indefinite quantity contract pursuant to which the Contractor may perform an ongoing series of individual Projects at different locations and facilities under the jurisdiction of the University. The bid documents include a Construction Task Catalog 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. The Contractor will bid Adjustment Factors to be applied to the Unit Prices. The Adjustment Factors will be for work in Non-Patient Care Facilities and includes an Adjustment Factor for performing work during Normal Working Hours and another Adjustment Factor for performing work during Other than Normal Working Hours. The same Adjustment Factors shall apply to every Pre-priced Task in the Construction Task Catalog. The Contractor will also bid an Adjustment Factor for performing Non Pre-priced Tasks. It is the intention of the University to award one or more Contracts. Thereafter, as Projects are identified the Contractor will jointly scope the work with the Owner. The Owner will prepare a Detailed Scope of Work and issue a Request for Proposal to the Contractor. The Contractor will then prepare a Work Order Proposal for the Project including a Price Proposal, drawings and sketches, a list of subcontractors, material, workforce, construction schedule, and other requested documentation. The Work Order Price shall equal the value of the approved Work Order Price Proposal. The value of the Work 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 Work Order Proposal is found to be complete & reasonable, a notice to proceed is issued.
