SOLICITATION BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION

Through the JOC program, TPWD aims to make significant strides in addressing repair backlogs and
construction needs at parks and other facilities statewide including wildlife management areas, fish
hatcheries, regional offices, and the Game Warden Training Center. The backlog of repairs and
construction needs remains substantial and continues to grow as facilities deteriorate due to age, use and
weather impacts. Additionally, recent efforts to identify facility Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
compliance data agency wide point to the need forgreater investment of resources to make agency facilities
accessible to all Texans.

The primary goal of this program is to substantially extend the number of resources available to perform
essential trade-related work to address the Department's repair and construction needs. TPWD expects to
see significant reductions in transactional cost and significant reductions in delays between work
identification and work completion for projects suitable to JOC.

The services solicited may be funded through allocations from federal and/or state funding sources and
shall be performed in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.

It is TPWD's intent to identify qualified respondents and award multiple contracts for JOC services on an
IDIQ basis for general contractor services. TPWD will select the successful JOCC(s) that offers best value
based on the published evaluation criteria provided in the solicitation. After award, as TPWD develops
specifications and funding for specific projects, TPWD, at its sole discretion, will request a Job Order
proposal from an awarded JOCC that is determined to provide the best value to the agency for each project.
The number of awarded contracts will depend on the number of proposals received and the evaluation
results.

TPWD seeks proposers with the ability to quickly respond to project development and the start of
construction for each project. Having a history of completing projects within budget, meeting or exceeding
project schedules and consistently providing high quality materials and high job performance while
simultaneously working on multiple projects with a high level of safety is essential. Proposers must be able
to provide a wide variety of general construction services as projects will vary in size, scope, and complexity.
