RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Change Order No. 1 with Aztec Consultants, Inc., for Job Order Contract 018, to increase the payment limit by $1,500,000 to a new payment limit of $4,500,000, as allowed by Public Contract Code 20128.5 (WW1006), Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Various Capital Project funds. Projects under Aztec Consultant's JOC 018 are only issued when there is an approved project and funding.

BACKGROUND:

To date, the Job Order Contracts (JOC) Program has been a valuable construction project delivery tool since its inception back on November 10, 2015. Central to the JOC Program is that JOC contracts are performance-based, and as contractors perform well, they will be the more likely candidates for consideration for future JOC job orders. On November 2, 2021, job order construction contracts were awarded to the four lowest and responsive bidders, namely Mark Scott Construction (JOC 017), Aztec Consultants (JOC 018), MIK Construction (JOC 019), and MVP Construction (JOC 020) for job orders under the JOCs in amounts to total not less than $25,000 nor more than $3,000,000. The payment limit for Aztec Consultants needs to be increased because the amount paid under JOC 018 is nearing the contract payment limit; therefore, the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Change Order No. 1 with Aztec Consultants, to increase the payment limit under their JOC contract from $3,000,000 to a new payment limit of $4,500,000, as allowed by Public Contract Code 20128.5.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the change order is not approved, the County will be limited in its ability to select the best suited JOC contractor for appropriate County construction projects involving repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work.
