JOC for Zoo Specialty Construction

The City desires to select qualified contractors to provide turn-key installations or modifications of zoo exhibits involving sculpted shotcrete, animal containment, life safety and support (LSS) and general plumbing systems. Services may include design, engineering, fabrication, permitting and installation. Individual job orders should not exceed $1,000,000; however, it is anticipated a typical job will not exceed $800,000. The term of this contract will be One (1) year with four (4) one-year renewal options. However, services will be requested on an as-needed basis and the resultant contract is neither exclusive nor a commitment by COT that the Contractor's services will be required.

Job Order Contracting is an alternative delivery method for construction of public works projects. JOC's differ from the standard project-specific, low bid contracts in that they are indefinite-quantity contracts, which can be awarded on the basis of qualifications. Best value may be considered in awarding the JOC or in awarding job orders under the JOC contract.

Each individual job order contract will establish its own individual project limit. Mayor and Council have approved ordinance 12175 which states that individual projects may not exceed $5,000,000 unless the Mayor and Council approves a higher limit for that project.
