The City of Phoenix, located in Maricopa County, Arizona, is seeking qualifications for a Water Remote Facilities General Construction Job Order Contract (JOC239-B). The procurement aims to select up to three qualified contractors to provide on-call construction services for water remote facilities over a 36-month period or until $40,000,000 in services is reached, with an option to renew for an additional 24 months or up to $60,000,000. Specific services include installations and replacements of mechanical and electrical equipment, well drilling, building modifications, emergency repairs, site maintenance, and engineering design services. Contractors will be evaluated using a points-based system across five criteria: general information (150 points), firm experience and qualifications (250 points), key personnel experience (250 points), approach to performing services (350 points), and reference checks (21 points). A pre-submittal meeting is scheduled for July 10, 2025, with statements of qualifications due by July 25, 2025, through the City's eProcurement Portal. Each individual job order under the contract is intended to not exceed $4,000,000 in construction costs, and contractors must provide performance and payment bonds for each job order. The contract has a significant Small Business Enterprise (SBE) component, with an established 5.5% SBE participation goal derived from the current availability of certified small business enterprise firms in specific scopes of work including 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, and their certification must 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. Contractors will be required to use UNIFIER, a web-based project management database, and the SBE program aims to advance economic growth for small businesses by providing certification, procurement opportunities, and technical assistance.
