This is a Job Order Contracts (JOC) solicitation document issued by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) for FY2026-2027 traditional job order contracting services. The solicitation establishes a multiple-award, indefinite-quantity contract vehicle designed to provide on-call construction and related services to support the district's capital improvement and maintenance projects. The contract encompasses a broad range of construction work categories and trade services, with contractors competing based on a percentage markup applied to labor, material, and equipment costs established through the national JOC database. The contract term is three years with two one-year renewal options, allowing for flexibility in extending services based on performance and district needs. Specific response deadlines, site visit requirements, and pre-bid conference details are outlined within the document to facilitate contractor participation and ensure a fair, transparent bidding process.

The pricing structure for this JOC solicitation utilizes a percentage-based markup methodology rather than fixed unit prices, enabling cost efficiency and adaptability to varying project scopes. The solicitation is open to qualified contractors meeting LAUSD's experience, bonding, and insurance requirements, with potential considerations for small business set-asides or local vendor preferences consistent with California public contracting law. Funding for awarded contracts derives from LAUSD's capital improvement budgets and operational maintenance allocations, with specific project funding determined on an individual basis as work orders are issued throughout the contract term. The JOC approach allows the district to leverage pre-negotiated rates and pre-qualified contractors to expedite project execution while maintaining competitive pricing and contractor performance standards.
