RFP #R26014 Job Order Contracting for General Construction

This contract establishes a multi-year, indefinite quantity Job Order Contracting (JOC) program for general construction services with Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia. The agreement is designed to facilitate efficient execution of various projects, including repairs, renovations, maintenance, and new construction, with individual task orders typically valued up to $1 million. The initial term spans one year, with up to three optional renewal years, allowing the contract to extend for a maximum of four years. Contractors will provide services based on pre-established unit prices listed in the Simplebid® Unit Price Book, adjusted by a proposed multiplier (adjustment factor) that accounts for overhead, profit, taxes, and other costs. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the LCPS bidding portal by September 10, 2025, and should include detailed management, technical expertise, project methodology, and pricing information. The procurement emphasizes a best value award process, considering technical merit, management capability, and price, with the possibility of multiple awards. The contractual framework is governed primarily by Virginia state law and local regulations, notably the Virginia Public Procurement Act, rather than federal FAR clauses, which are not explicitly incorporated. The contract documents include general conditions based on AIA standards, specific technical specifications, and referenced attachments such as the unit price book, insurance and bonding instructions, and the owner-contractor agreement. Work inspection and acceptance procedures require the contractor to coordinate tests and inspections at project sites, with oversight by the Loudoun County Department of Building and Development and the project Architect. Payment procedures involve monthly invoicing, submission of notarized lien waivers, and certification by the Architect, with all task orders managed within the contractor’s bonding capacity. The contract also stipulates strict compliance with non-discrimination, drug-free workplace policies, and business registration requirements, though no specific FAR-based representations or socioeconomic set-asides are indicated. Overall, the contract aims to streamline construction project delivery for LCPS through a structured, competitive, and performance-oriented procurement process.
