The anticipated construction budget is $4,220,000. Respondents must hold a current Class A California Contractor's License, possess a minimum of five years of direct general contracting experience, and have successfully completed similar-sized projects for at least three public agencies. The successful respondent must furnish a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each equal to 100 percent of the construction contract value, subject to approval by the County Counsel and Risk Manager. The CMAR will execute a Pre-Construction Services Contract with a negotiated Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), followed by potential negotiation of a Construction Services Contract GMP. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with California Labor Code Section 1771.1(a) regarding contractor registration and prevailing wage requirements under Labor Code Section 1773. The CMAR must perform at least 51 percent of the work with its own forces and employ a licensed professional civil engineer in California with a minimum of ten years of experience. Evaluation criteria consist of three phases with a maximum 1,000 points: written responses (500 points), presentations or interviews (400 points), and cost proposals (100 points). The County of Orange Local Small Business (OCLSB) Preference provides a five percent cost score deduction for certified OCLSB businesses, with an additional eight percent deduction available for businesses certified as both OCLSB and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).
