Advertisement for Request for Qualification - Best Value JOC -Healthcare General Building

The contract solicitation ANE223-ANE2C-6162 issued by the San Bernardino Capital Improvement Program seeks qualified contractors for a Best Value Job Order Contracting (JOC) opportunity focused on healthcare general building projects in California. This procurement requires contractors to prequalify by submitting detailed information regarding licensing, bonding, insurance, organizational structure, safety records, and prior project performance specifically in healthcare-related renovation work. The contract targets projects involving mission-critical renovations compliant with OSHPD 1 standards, including work in sensitive hospital environments such as NICU/PICU units, sterile processing departments, surgical suites, medical gas systems, and infrastructure upgrades under infection control protocols. The contract term is one year with two optional one-year extensions, and the maximum annual contract value is capped at $3,000,000. A mandatory prequalification conference is scheduled for December 3, 2025, at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, with responses due by January 7, 2026. Contractor evaluation is based on a comprehensive prequalification questionnaire and a scoring system assessing criteria such as personnel qualifications, supervision, equipment adequacy, timeliness, quality of work, claims history, and overall performance. The evaluation follows a trade-off best value approach, emphasizing both technical competence and past performance rather than lowest price alone. Contractors must hold a valid California Class B license and maintain proper registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations, adhering to prevailing wage determinations covering various crafts and shifts applicable in Alameda County and broader California regions. Insurance requirements include a minimum of $5 million in general liability coverage and sufficient bonding capacity. Safety, ethics, and regulatory compliance are critical with mandatory disclosures on criminal records, OSHA violations, bankruptcy, and bond history. Submission instructions require four sets of documents including a USB flash drive and original paper copies, with strict adherence to form completion and deadlines. The contract pricing section reflects detailed labor classifications with specified hourly rates and option periods, providing a baseline contract value estimate ranging from approximately $1 million to over $1.6 million depending on workload and options exercised.
