Prequalification For Job Order Contract (JOC) For Electrical Services

The County of Orange is conducting a pre-qualification process for a Job Order Contract (JOC) to provide electrical services at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. This solicitation, identified as RFQ #280-3130501-TS, aims to identify eligible contractors for a contract with a not-to-exceed value of $1,000,000 and a term of one year. Only contractors who successfully complete this pre-qualification process will be eligible to bid on the project, which is tentatively scheduled for advertisement on September 18, 2026. Electronic submissions for pre-qualification are due by 2:00 pm on September 16, 2026. To qualify, contractors must provide a company profile, a signed pre-qualification questionnaire, a notarized statement from an admitted surety insurer, and evidence of a valid UEI and D-U-N-S number. Applicants must demonstrate their expertise by providing details on key personnel, such as project managers and superintendents, and listing six public projects completed within the last ten years under a current California State License. The evaluation process uses a scoring system that considers OSHA penalties and Davis-Bacon compliance, alongside reference checks for at least three similar projects. The contract requires strict adherence to federal and state regulations, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and California Labor Code sections 1735 and 1741 regarding nondiscrimination. Preference is given to certified County of Orange Local Small Businesses (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE). Certain failures in the pre-qualification questionnaire, specifically regarding questions .5 through .9, will result in immediate disqualification. All documents must be signed under penalty of perjury with a physical pen signature to be considered valid.
