The County of San Diego (“the County”) is seeking bids from firms (“Offerors”) for a Job Order Contract, a competitively
bid, firm fixed priced indefinite quantity contract (“JOC”). It includes a collection of detailed repair and remodel tasks and
specifications that have established Unit Prices. It is placed with a contractor for the accomplishment of repair, remodeling
(including but not limited to alteration, modernization, maintenance or rehabilitation), or other repetitive work on buildings,
structures, or other real property at different locations throughout the County, as authorized by California Public Contract
Code § 20128.5. Ordering is accomplished by means of issuance of a Job Order against the Contract. If the need arises, the
County reserves the right to require the Successful Offeror to work at any location or facility under the jurisdiction of the
County.
The Successful Offeror, under the JOC contract, furnishes all management, labor, materials, and equipment needed to
perform the work, unless otherwise specified. The bid documents include a SimplebidTM Unit Price Book (“UPB”)
containing construction tasks with preset unit prices. All unit prices are based on local labor, material, and equipment prices
and are for the direct cost of construction.
The Catalog of Construction Tasks is priced at a net value of 1.0000. The bid shall be an increase (e.g., 1.1000) or decrease
(e.g., 0.9500) to the Unit Prices listed in the SimplebidTM Unit Price Book. Offerors that submit separate Adjustment Factors
for separate Unit Prices will be considered non-responsive, and their bids will be rejected.
The County selected Facility Optimization Solutions, LLC (“FOS”) Job Order Contracting Solution for its JOC program.
The FOS SimplebidTM Program includes FOS’s proprietary JOC Software and JOC Applications, construction cost data,
and the SimplebidTM Unit Price Book, which the Successful Offeror shall use solely to fulfill its obligations under this
Contract, including the preparation and submission of Job Order Proposals, Price Proposals, subcontractor lists, and other
requirements that the County specifies.

OPERATOR (ACO) CONTRACTOR
The work under this Contract will be set forth in the Detailed Scopes of Work set forth in the individual Job Orders. The
Successful Offeror must complete each Job Order Detailed Scope of Work for the Job Order Price within the Job Order
Completion Time.
The County anticipates awarding one (1) contract to the lowest responsive, responsible Offeror based upon the lowest
Composite Adjustment Factor for each bid package listed. A separate bid is required by each Offeror wishing to bid each
contract. In the event that an Offeror is the low Offeror for more than one County JOC contract, or otherwise holds or stands
to hold more than one County JOC contract simultaneously, the County reserves the right as part of its pre-award survey to
conduct detailed analysis specifically as to that Offeror’s responsibility to fulfill the demands inherent in holding multiple
JOC contracts, including requiring that Offeror submit detailed financial statements, provide staffing plans, submit all active
contracts with other public entities, and undergo interviews with relevant County staff. The JOC award under this solicitation
will have a Minimum Contract Value of $0 and a Maximum Contract Value of $1,500,000 (statutory maximum adjusted
for CPI as of January 1, 2015).
The County will issue Job Orders based on the Successful Offeror’s performance, ability to execute the workload, and
staffing, as well as the availability of funded and/or approved projects. The number, dollar value, and sequence of Job Order
issuance shall be decided solely at the discretion of the County. The County may issue, to the Successful Offeror, Job Orders
totaling the Maximum Contract Value during the term of the Contract; however, the Successful Offeror is not guaranteed
to receive this volume of Job Orders. All Job Orders issued during the term of this contract shall be valid and in effect
notwithstanding that the Job Order Detailed Scope of Work may be performed, payments may be made, and the guarantee
period may continue, after such period has expired. All terms and conditions of the contract apply to each Job Order.
Offerors shall, at the time of submitting a bid, be registered with DIR and possess an active California State Classification,
C-10 Electrical Contractor and C-28 Lock and Security Equipment Contractor with a Continental Access Installation
Certification and Alarm Company Operator (ACO), Contractor’s License.
The County is requiring that all Successful Offerors report to the County Operations Center, 5560 Overland Avenue, San
Diego, CA 92123 within one (1) hour of notification of award.
The Basis of Award will be the total of 80% of Normal Working Hours Adjustment Factor added to 20% of Other Than
Normal Working Hours Adjustment Factor (“Composite Adjustment Factor”). The County will award to the lowest
responsive and responsible Offeror based upon the lowest Composite Adjustment Factor.
The resulting Contract will be for a term of one (1) year or until expenditure of the maximum potential value of the Contract,
whichever occurs first.
