Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Capital Improvement Committee receive a report on Job Order Contracting from Natividad Medical Center (NMC) for the period of July 2025 through June 2026.
SUMMARY
Public Contract Code Section 20128.5 provides that counties may award annual contracts for repair, remodeling, or other repetitive work to be performed according to unit prices. This delivery method is commonly referred to as Job Order Contracting (JOC) and is typically implemented through the development of a construction task catalog that is competitively bid.
DISCUSSION:
The Board of Supervisors authorized Natividad Medical Center (NMC) to proceed with soliciting public bids for two new one-year JOC contracts, NMC 2025-01 and NMC 2025-02. The contracts were advertised in the Monterey County Weekly on June 12 and June 19, 2025. Bid opening took place at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at the Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. The apparent low bidders were Staples Construction for NMC 2025-01 and Newton Construction and Management for NMC 2025-02.
Exhibit A provides the status of JOC projects for the reporting period, as well as other required information, including the contractor, the number of contractor evaluations completed, and 50% local employment compliance for each project. Exhibit B contains the required contractor evaluations for completed JOC projects.
Projects implemented through the JOC Program include approved projects exceeding $100,000 that are identified in Natividad's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), as well as maintenance and repair projects under $100,000 that are not specifically identified in the CIP but are funded through Natividad's approved operating budget.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Natividad Medical Center coordinated the preparation of the JOC contracts with Contracts/Purchasing and the Auditor-Controller.
FINANCING:
Funding for these projects is included in the approved FY 2025-2026 Capital Budget or within NMC's approved operating expense budget. In addition, a five percent (5%) license fee for use of the JOC program is payable to The Gordian Group upon issuance of each Job Order.
