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.
The contract solicits construction services for the ALWO Watershed Trail Exhibit in California under the management of OC Public Works. The project involves creating an educational outdoor exhibit centered around a Desmostylus skeleton embedded in rock, along with complementary features such as a concrete watershed viewing platform with a 3D map and a sand dig pit designed to simulate fossil excavation. The scope of work requires site grading and compaction, installation of concrete footings for a fossil wall and seating areas, drainage improvements for the sand dig pit, reconstruction of an ADA-compliant path, installation of stabilized decomposed granite pathways, and construction of architectural stonework and seating walls. Additionally, the contractor must implement erosion and sediment control measures to protect existing natural site conditions outside the construction areas.
To ensure project reliability and compliance, the contract incorporates both a Labor and Material Payment Bond and a Performance Bond issued by the County of Orange, guaranteeing payment for labor and materials and securing faithful contract performance. These surety bonds protect the County by holding the contractor and the surety jointly liable for obligations under the contract, including indemnification and defense provisions. Strict adherence to the contract documents and timely response by the solicitation deadline, March 30, 2026, are required, with the primary contact being the Procurement Buyer at OC Public Works. The comprehensive nature of the contract emphasizes quality construction practices, regulatory compliance, site protection, and accessibility to deliver an engaging, educational, and environmentally responsible exhibit.
