JOC provides an alternative procurement method for completing public works projects which improves economy and efficiency in completing many public works projects, including urgent and time sensitive projects. The price of an individual project will be determined by multiplying the preset unit prices and the appropriate quantities by the appropriate adjustment factor. The adjustment factor will vary depending upon the location of the work and the time at which the work will be performed (normal working hours versus other than normal working hours). Representatives from County Counsel and Contracts Purchasing are present, review bid packages submitted to verify completeness and announce the award criteria for each bid. The award of all 2022, and 2023 JOC Facilities and Roads were awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder in accordance with Public Contract Section 20128.5 as outlined in the JOC Project Specifications. The current JOC Policy does not provide for selection based on Local Preference. However, as part of the Bid package all prospective bidders are required to submit a Certification of Good Faith Effort to Employ Monterey Bay Area Residents including Monterey County, Santa Cruz County and San Benito County in compliance with Section 5.08.120 of the Monterey County Code.
Projects implemented through the JOC Program include projects listed in the adopted Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); smaller maintenance and repair projects that are not specifically listed in the CIP but funded through an established Unscheduled Maintenance Project budget or funded with outside Department funding; emergency projects that have secured funding; and new projects with secured funding for which Departments have sought Board approval to implement.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Public Works and Facilities staff coordinates the preparation of Job Orders with PWFP Finance and the Auditor-Controller's Office.
FINANCING:
Funding for JOC projects is contained either within the approved budget allocations of: Fund 404 - Facilities Master Plan Projects; Fund 002 - Road Fund; and the respective funds established for individual County Service Areas or County Sanitation Districts, or the individual department authorizing the project. Funding Sources for each JOC project are listed in Attachments A.
The Gordian Group (TGG) fee is a 5% License Fee for utilization of the JOC program. This fee is based on each JOC project total value and is payable by the County upon issuance of a Job Order to the JOC Contractor. TGG also offers project management services for job orders as requested by the County for a set fee of 5.95% of the job order total value.
