JOC 2027 Bid Form Summary

This is a bid form document for General Construction Job Order Contracts (JOC 2701-2706) issued by the Department of Public Works in California, serving San Mateo County and San Bernardino City. The bid form establishes the framework for competitive selection of up to six qualified contractors to provide general construction services, including all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and appurtenances as directed by the Director of Public Works or designee. Work is anticipated within a designated county area, though the Owner reserves the right to direct contractors to any location or facility under its jurisdiction. The Department intends to select the apparent lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder for each JOC contract, with that bidder subsequently excluded from consideration for successive contracts. Responses were due December 10, 2026, and each contract carries an aggregate fiscal obligation not to exceed $6.0 million with a maximum individual term of one year. Separate Job Orders and Notices to Proceed are issued under each agreement as warranted, with target start dates and final contract terms subject to negotiation.

The bid form serves as the primary mechanism for contractors to submit pricing and qualification information for evaluation. The contract structure requires compliance with multiple regulatory requirements, including EEO certification and reporting, Equal Benefits Compliance Ordinance adherence, Contractor Employee Jury Service Ordinance compliance, construction and demolition recycling ordinance requirements, and prevailing wage obligations under a Project Labor Agreement. A bid bond is required as part of the submission package. The competitive selection process eliminates winning bidders from successive rounds, ensuring opportunities across multiple contractors. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged business enterprises, women-owned small businesses, or other protected categories are indicated in the bid form structure.
