Job Order Contracting (JOC) Services - Flooring

Dorchester County, South Carolina is seeking qualified firms to provide Job Order Contracting (JOC) Services for General Flooring Projects through an indefinite quantity construction contract. The procurement will support repair, rehabilitation, replacement-in-kind projects, and minor new construction work at various county locations. Contractors must submit two sets of Adjustment Factors for pricing (one for non-secure and one for secure areas), with rates for normal and other-than-normal working hours. The evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: Firm Qualifications, Safety & Experience (30%), Cost Proposal (30%), Capacity & Availability (20%), and References & Past Project Performance (20%). Key submission requirements include evidence of the firm's Experience Modification Rate for the past three calendar years, three client references (preferably from municipalities or counties), and up to ten comparable construction projects completed after January 1, 2022. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for December 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM via virtual webinar, with written questions due by January 7, 2026, and proposals due January 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM through the OpenGov Procurement Portal, by mail, or in-person delivery.

The county intends to award multiple Job Order Contracts and will require current contractors to respond to maintain their positions. There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must achieve 51 percent self-performance of labor hours at the project site and maintain current state and local licenses. The contract has a base term of one year with four optional one-year renewal terms, both requiring mutual agreement to extend. A 6.00 percent JOC Administrative Fee will be paid to The Gordian Group for contract administration. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the job order price when requested, with bond costs up to 2 percent of the job order price being reimbursable. Liquidated damages will range from $100 per day for job orders under $10,000 to $500 per day for orders exceeding $50,000. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the indefinite quantity nature of the contract suggests potential for multiple projects across various county facilities.
