RFQ Citywide Civil Construction JOC

The City of Phoenix, Office of the City Engineer, is requesting qualifications for a Citywide Civil Construction Job Order Contract to select up to three qualified contractors for on-call civil construction services, with Statements of Qualifications due October 23, 2026 and a mandatory pre-submittal meeting on October 8, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. at City Hall. A Small Business Enterprise subcontracting goal of 10.5% applies; contractors must meet or request a waiver for this goal on each Job Order Agreement and annually throughout the contract term.

The scope encompasses civil site improvements, earthwork, grading and drainage, storm drain systems, water and sewer utility work, concrete and asphalt paving, landscaping, fence installation, signage, ADA retrofit work, and traffic control. Contractors must hold appropriate Arizona contractor licenses prior to submission, provide current Experience Modification Rate information, and submit a bonding capacity statement from a Surety Company rated A- or better. Performance and payment bonds equal to each Job Order proposal amount will be required prior to execution.

The contract has an initial term of 36 months or $15 million per JOC, whichever occurs first, with an option to renew for an additional 24 months or the balance of the maximum contract amount, for a total not to exceed $25 million including all amendments. Individual Job Order Agreements will not exceed $4 million in construction costs. Selection uses a qualifications-based process with no formal interviews. Evaluation criteria are general information (150 points), experience and qualifications of the firm (250 points), experience of key personnel (250 points), approach to performing required services (350 points), and reference checks (21 points) for a total of 1,021 points. Statements of Qualifications are limited to 10 pages maximum in PDF format only. Selection notification is expected in mid-November 2026, with a JOC workshop scheduled for late November.
