RFQ Citywide Landscape Construction JOC

The City of Phoenix is requesting qualifications from contractors to provide on-call Citywide Landscape Construction Job Order Contracting (JOC) services, with statements due October 23, 2026, and a pre-submittal meeting on October 13 at City Hall. An 8.5% Small Business Enterprise subcontracting goal applies, with certified SBE firms required to achieve this percentage on each Job Order Agreement and demonstrate good faith efforts to meet annual goals throughout the contract term.

The City intends to select up to three contractors for an initial 36-month term or $20 million per JOC, whichever occurs first, with an option to renew for an additional 24 months or the remaining balance, not to exceed $15 million total. Individual Job Order Agreements will not exceed $4 million in construction costs. Scope includes park structures, multi-use trails, sports fields, concrete and asphalt work, masonry, streetscape installation, stormwater management, fencing, signage, landscape removal and installation, irrigation systems, grading, and soil preparation. All work is performed in Arizona.

Awardees must maintain valid Arizona contractor licenses, provide performance and payment bonds for each Job Order proposal with surety rated A- or better, and utilize UNIFIER, a web-based project management database, maintaining all project records electronically with broadband internet connectivity.

Evaluation weights 1,021 total points across general information and firm organization (150 points), firm experience and qualifications (250 points), key personnel experience (250 points), approach to performing services (350 points), and reference checks (21 points). Statements of Qualifications are limited to 10 pages, due electronically by noon on October 23. Selection notification is expected in mid-November, with a JOC workshop in late November. Remote participation in the pre-submittal meeting is available via Microsoft Teams.
