JOB ORDER CONTRACT (JOC) FOR DEMOLITION SERVICES

The County of Orange, through its OC Public Works department, is soliciting bids for a Job Order Contract (JOC) specifically for demolition services with an estimated contract value of $1,000,000. This contract utilizes a Unit Price Book (UPB) with preset unit prices facilitated by The Gordian Group's JOC Solution, including their proprietary JOC Information Management System (JOC IMS), applications, construction cost data, and the Construction Task Catalog®. Contractors awarded this contract are required to use these tools solely for fulfilling contract obligations such as preparing and submitting Job Order Proposals and price breakdowns. Access to the Gordian JOC solution requires execution of Gordian’s General Terms of Use and payment of a JOC System License Fee, which is a percentage of the Job Order Price and must be included in the contractor’s Adjustment Factors. Only contractors who passed the County’s two-step prequalification process were allowed to submit bids, and award decisions will be made based on best value evaluations using typical work plans and specifications established by the County. The solicitation, identified as RFP-080-2998505-EL, specifies important procedural elements including a mandatory pre-bid conference call, compliance with California prevailing wage laws, contractor licensing requirements, and bid security and bonding prerequisites. Electronic submissions are due by March 10, 2026. The County maintains discretion to reject bids or waive minor irregularities. The JOC framework sets forth contractual terms governing the responsibilities of both parties, term of the contract, and scope of demolition services. Additionally, the contract and related documents emphasize compliance with California labor codes, including certified payroll requirements and enforcement managed partly by the Orange County District Attorney’s Public Works Unit, which monitors fair bidding practices and worker protections on public projects. Contact personnel are available to address procurement inquiries, ensuring a clear communication channel for potential contractors.
