Consultant for JOC Construction Services

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is seeking professional consultants under solicitation SB26-12 to manage and oversee the Job Order Contracting (JOC) Construction Service Program. This state cooperative contract aims to establish a pool of qualified consultants to provide integrated JOC solutions for small-to-medium construction, time-sensitive repairs, and maintenance projects for eligible users, including government departments, political subdivisions, and nonprofit organizations. The selected consultants will be responsible for the entire project lifecycle, including program management, sourcing and onboarding a qualified subcontractor roster, and providing proprietary JOC software with a 99.9 percent uptime requirement. Key deliverables include the creation of client-specific Construction Task Catalogs based on local Utah prevailing wages, which must be updated annually. The contract spans a five-year period, with vendors required to guarantee pricing for one-year intervals. The award process may result in multiple selections based on a scoring system where vendors must meet mandatory minimums, score at least 487 points in the technical evaluation, and achieve a total of 650 points across technical and cost evaluations. Pricing is structured via a percentage-based management fee per job and fixed hourly rates for additional services. The program must be fully implemented within 60 calendar days of contract execution. Compliance requirements include maintaining specific commercial general liability and contractor controlled insurance policies, adhering to federal and state non-discrimination laws, and certifying against economic boycotts of Israel and the use of forced labor products. Performance and payment bonds are required for individual job orders exceeding 50,000 dollars.
