Job Order Contract (JOC) for Flood Control and Bridge Maintenance Services

OC Public Works of the County of Orange is soliciting qualified contractors to provide Job Order Contracting (JOC) services for maintenance and repair projects encompassing bridges, roadways, bike paths, parks, and flood control facilities across county and flood control district properties. This contract emphasizes the need for contractors with a strong safety culture, substantial infrastructure experience, and proven reliability. Contractors must be capable of rapid mobilization for emergency repairs, provide detailed and accurate pricing based on a unit price book, and ensure high-quality workmanship supported by effective communication with all stakeholders. The solicitation, identified as IFB-080-3020902-SV, is open through June 1, 2026, with OC Public Works serving as the contracting agency. The agreement requires contractors to provide surety bonds, including a Labor and Material Payment Bond guaranteeing payments to subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers, and a Faithful Performance Bond ensuring faithful contract execution in compliance with all terms. Both bonds obligate the contractor, surety, and County to uphold financial and contractual responsibilities, safeguarding the County's interests in timely payment and performance. These bonds also account for contract modifications without releasing surety obligations and include provisions for legal costs associated with enforcement. The solicitation is managed through the OC Public Works procurement office in Santa Ana, California, with Suchitra Vattyam as the primary procurement contact.
