Set Aside Job Order Contracting Services in the State of Ohio

The Cooperative Council of Governments, on behalf of Equalis Group, is soliciting bids for a master cooperative purchasing agreement for Job Order Contracting (JOC) services in the state of Ohio. This indefinite quantity construction contract is designed to simplify the procurement of repair, alteration, modernization, and rehabilitation services for infrastructure and real property. To be eligible for this set-aside opportunity, bidders must hold a current, valid certification as an Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) business enterprise issued by the Ohio Department of Development. The contract features an initial two-year term with a bilateral option for one additional two-year term, for a maximum total duration of four years. The scope of work involves providing construction and maintenance services for member facilities across various regions in Ohio, with specific projects initiated through Joint Scope Meetings and detailed Purchase Orders. Pricing is determined by multiplying unit prices from the Construction Task Catalog by the contractor's specific Adjustment Factors. Bidders are evaluated based on a Combined Adjustment Factor, and failure to provide all five required factors will result in a non-responsive bid. The contract mandates strict compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act, 2 CFR Part 200 for federally funded orders, and Ohio Revised Code regarding subcontractor payments and non-discrimination. Additionally, bidders must meet specific safety and financial benchmarks, including having no more than one willful OSHA violation in three years and an Experience Modification Rating of 1.5 or less.
