DATE: MARCH 21, 2006 COUNTY
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE BID DOCUMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR JOB ORDER CONTRACT
006 (WW0555) C 5
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. APPROVE the bid documents including the contract General Conditions, Technical
Specifications, and the Construction Task Catalog for Job Order Contract ("JOC") 006.
2. AUTHORIZE the General Services Director, or designee, to advertise for bids to be received on
April 25, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. and to issue bid Addenda, as needed, forlclarification of the contract
bid documents, provided the involved changes do not significantly Increase the cost estimate for
the initial construction contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
JOC work orders will only be issued when there is an approved project an,d funding. The maximum
contract value of $2 million is a limit (not actual appropriated dollars), and it is possible that the limit
may not be reached. Having this limit allows for efficiency and flexibility in accomplishing work up to
the limit.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND
The JOC program has proven to be a successful one. The General Services Department has utilized
its JOC contracts to provide quality work, competitive costs, and improved responsiveness in
completing building construction projects, while also complying with the County's Outreach Program
and the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program. General Services currently has two JOC
contracts, one of which has less than ten percent of its contract limit left. In order to maintain
capacity and flexibility in delivering projects, General Services recommends bidding out another JOC
at this time. JOC contracts are authorized under Public Contract Code Section 20128.5.

3. WORK CONTRACT, CHANGES. (a) By their signatures in Section 2, effective on the above date, these parties promise and agree as set
forth in this contract,incorporating by these references the material("special terms")in Section 1.
(b) The Work of this Contract consists of all Job Orders issued by the Public Agency to the Contractor, as further described in the Detaile�
Scope of Work for each individual Job Order.
(c) Contractor shall in a workmanlike manner,fully and faithfully perform and complete the work,and will furnish all materials,labor,services
and transportation necessary, convenient and proper in order fairly to perform the requirements of this contract, all strictly in accordance with.the
Public Agency's Contract Documents,including the Construction Task Catalog and Technical Specifications.
(d) The work can be changed only with Public Agency's prior written order specifying such change and its cost agreed to by the parties;and the
Public Agency shall never have to pay more than specified in Section 7 without such an order.
4. TIME: NOTICE TO PROCEED. The term of the contract commences on the effective date of the Notice to Proceed issued for the first job
order.
TERM: The term of the Job Order.Contract will be either for one year or when issued Job Orders totaling the Maximum Contract Value
including any options have been completed, whichever occurs first. All.Job Orders,to be valid,must be issued but not necessarily completed
within one calendar year of the commencement date of the Contract. Supplemental Job Orders used to reconcile existing Job Orders may be
issued after the one calendar year term.
JOB ORDER NOTICE TO PROCEED. Contractor shall start the work as directed in the Notice to Proceed issued to Contractor for each
individual Job Order,and shall complete it within the time specified in the Notice to Proceed or the Detailed Scope of Work for the Job Order.
5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.-If the Contractor fails to complete the work on any individual Job Order within the time fixed therefor,allowance
being made for contingencies as provided herein, the Contractor becomes liable to the Public Agency for all its loss and damage therefrom; and
because, from the nature of the case, it is and will be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain and fix the Public Agency's actual damage
from any delay in performance hereof,it is agreed that Contractor will pay as liquidated damages to the Public Agency the reasonable sum specified
below, the result of the parties' reasonable endeavor to estimate fair average compensation therefor, for each calendar day's delay in finishing said
work; and if the same be not paid, Public Agency may, in addition to its other remedies,deduct the same from any money due or to become due
Contractor under the Job Order(s). If the Public Agency for any cause authorizes or contributes to a delay,suspension of work or extension of time,
its duration shall be added to the time allowed for completion,but it shall not be deemed a waiver nor be used to defeat any right of the Agency to
damages for non-completion or delay hereunder. Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, the Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated
damages for delay in completion of the work,when such delay was caused by the failure of the Public Agency or the owner of a utility to provide for
removal or relocation of existing utility facilities.
SCHEDULE FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES(if liquidated damages are applicable on a Job Order)
Job Order Amount Per Calendar Day
$1.00 to$25,000.00 $235.00

views.on products to other Contractors, the Board of Supervisors,County officers,or others who may be authorized by the Board of Supervisors or

unit price by the quantity required. The price offered in the proposal will be determined by
multiplying the total extended price by an adjustment factor of 1.000.
4. After a Non-Prepriced Task is used on three separate Job Orders, the unit price for such task
will be established, following approval by the County, and fixed as a permanent prepriced
task which will no longer require price justification.

Task shall be final, binding and conclusive as to the Contractor.
