Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve the Surety Riders to the Performance and Payment Bonds executed and provided by SeaPac Engineering, Inc., Pueblo Construction, Inc., and GraniteRock Company, each in the amount of $4,550,000.
SUMMARY/DISCISSION:
On January 27, 2015, the Board of Supervisors awarded SeaPac Engineering, Inc., Pueblo Construction, Inc., and GraniteRock Company individual JOC agreements and approved Contractor’s Performance and Payment Bonds of $2 Million. At this time, accumulative Job Orders are approaching the approved $2 Million bond limit. In order to continue to issue additional Job Orders to SeaPac Engineering, Inc., Pueblo Construction, Inc., and GraniteRock Company, it is necessary to approve their Performance and Payment bond at the full contract amount of $4,550,000.
Public Contract Code Section 20128.5 provides that counties may award annual contracts for repair, remodeling, or other repetitive work to be done according to unit prices. This is commonly referred to as Job Order Contracting (JOC), and is typically done by developing a construction task catalog that is then competitively bid. JOC is an indefinite quantity contract pursuant to which the Contractor will perform a variety of projects, consisting of specific construction tasks, providing 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 deter-mined 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).
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel and Auditor-Controller Office has reviewed and approved the Surety Riders and JOC Agreements as to form and legality, and fiscal provisions, respectively. The Capital Improvement Committee will consider this action on August 21, 2015.
FINANCING:
There is no additional impact to the General Fund. Sufficient funds have been allocated in the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Adopted Budget. Funding for the three (3) JOC projects anticipated to exceed $1 Million is as follows:
1) East/West Wing Renovation - Fund 404 Facilities Master Plan Implementation, with funding source from the issuance of Certificates of Participation (COPs);
2) 1441 Schilling Renovation - Fund 404, with funding source from issuance of COPs; and
3) Fiscal Year 2015-16 Pavement Overlay/Rehabilitation Project-Overlay of three County roadways near the City of Carmel - Fund 002, Unit 8195, with funding source from the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Transient Occupancy Tax Allocation.
