Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors:
Authorize the Deputy Purchasing Agent for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) or his designee to execute amendment No. 1 to the Addendum with The Gordian Group to the Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Contract 071415 for administrative services of the Job Order Contracting (JOC) program, to increase the total amount an additional $175,000 for a revised total spending limit not to exceed $275,000 for NMC JOC projects initiated during the term of the Sourcewell Contract September 15, 2015 through September 15, 2020.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
In April 9, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved an agreement between the County of Monterey and The Gordian Group, Inc. to provide administrative services for the Job Order Contracting (JOC) System. That agreement expired in April 2018 at which time the County’s Contracts/Purchasing Officer recommended to County departments which utilize the JOC program to explore piggybacking off of another public agency contract for JOC administrative services.
Sourcewell (formerly the National Joint Powers Alliance, aka “NJPA”) is a public agency operating under the enabling authority outlined in Minnesota Statute 123A.21, which allows participating nationwide government and education agencies (“Members”) to reduce the cost of purchasing by leveraging their combined national purchasing power through cooperative efforts. On July 15, 2015 NJPA released RFP 071415 for Indefinite Quantity Construction Contracting Systems and Related Services and The Gordian Group (Gordian) responded and was awarded a service contract. Services offered and accepted within Gordian’s proposal in response to the NJPA RFP include Job Order Contracting (JOC) administrative services.
The County of Monterey is a member of Sourcewell and per the terms of the RFP 071415 which allow all public agencies within the U.S. to procure off of the contract awarded from RFP 071415, Natividad is procuring administrative services rendered for Job Order Contracting (JOC) projects from Gordian by piggybacking off the Sourcewell Contract during its current Contract term of September 15, 2015 through September 15, 2020. Other Monterey County departments also currently utilize Gordian’s services for JOC projects by piggybacking off the Sourcewell contract as well.
To incorporate the County’s standard risk provisions and other relevant terms and conditions into the service obligations, Natividad and Gordian agreed to execute an Addendum to the Sourcewell Contract and did so on April 25, 2018 which included a total spending amount not to exceed $100,000. Since that time Gordian’s administrative costs have nearly exceeded the $100,000, therefore, this amendment to that Addendum includes an increase of an additional $175,000 to the total amount to cover projected JOC administrative services for Natividad through September 15, 2020.
Some of the more significant NMC JOC projects currently underway at Natividad include Natividad Medical Group Tenant Improvement, Wireless Upgrade, and Central Plant Repairs.
