SBE_JOC-Contractor's_Statement_of_Utilization_Form_.doc

The document is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Contractor's Statement of Proposed SBE Utilization form for a Job Order Contract (JOC) issued by the City of Phoenix, specifically for the Water Remote Facilities General Construction project (JOC239). The contract seeks to select up to three qualified contractors to provide on-call construction services for water remote facilities over a 36-month period, with the potential to reach $40,000,000 in services and an option to renew for an additional 24 months or up to $60,000,000. The project encompasses installations and replacements of mechanical and electrical equipment, well drilling, building modifications, emergency repairs, site maintenance, and engineering design services, with individual job orders not exceeding $4,000,000 in construction costs.

The contract includes a significant Small Business Enterprise component, with a mandated 5.5% SBE participation goal derived from certified small business enterprise firms in specific scopes of work such as excavation, painting, asphalt, concrete, and pipeline work. Only SBE subcontractors certified by the City of Phoenix under Chapter 18, Article VII of the Phoenix City Code are eligible to fulfill the participation goals, with their certification required to be current at the time of bid. Contractors must provide monthly audit reports and maintain comprehensive records of subcontractor participation, with potential penalties for non-compliance including withholding 10% of future payments, rejecting future bids, or contract cancellation. The City will provide construction administration, inspection, and material testing, and expects to create a final list of three to five firms for the project.
