Title
Resolution authorizing a contract with the Gordian Group, Maudlin, SC, in the estimated amount of $200,000 for Job Order Contracting (JOC) consulting services for a two-year period plus renewals.
Staff Summary
· JOC is a contract process that provides for competitive sealed bid pricing for general contractors based on a standard Construction Task Catalog that identifies pre-set unit prices for construction, renovation and building repair tasks specifically tailored for anticipated ongoing minor capital construction, renovation and building repair projects at County facilities.
· The Gordian Group has served as County’s JOC consultant since 2008 and has developed the County’s specific Construction Task Catalog, implemented proprietary eGordian JOC information management system, and provided ongoing training to County staff.
· The contract includes continuation of existing services, a set fee for construction management services, as needed, and joint purchasing language to extend the contract pricing to all governmental units in Lake County.
· A competitive bid for JOC general contractors will be issued separately following the completion of the updated Construction Task Catalog.
· The Gordian Group will be compensated at the rate of 2.95% of construction costs, estimated at $200,000 annually. This estimate is calculated by multiplying the Gordian fee by the projected amount of construction, renovation and building repair required; the actual expenditure may vary based on actual work contracted.
· The Purchasing Agent consulted an ad hoc review group and determined that this purchase is exempt from bidding on the basis of sole source.
· The contract authorizes a two-year agreement that will cost an estimated $200,000 annually.
