JOB ORDER CONTRACT
Department: Office of Capital Planning and Policy
Summary: The Office of Capital Planning and Policy, as authorized by the Cook County Chief Procurement Officer, plans to participate in the Cook County's Job Order Contract (JOC) program to complete the three (3) capital projects listed below. JOC is a quantity based procurement process that allows facility owners to complete a multitude of repair/maintenance and construction projects with a single, competitively bid contract. The JOC process generally involves first selecting a pool of potential contractors through a competitive procurement process, and then identifying projects for such selected contractors.
The County has already completed a JOC competitive procurement process, and it has created the pool of generated contractors to perform certain projects generally associated with Maintenance, repairs, replacement and routine work.
The JOC program has an administrative component managed by the Gordian Group. The Gordian Group maintains an area price book, which captures the prices for specific construction work items within this region. JOC contractors bid against the prices included in the price book. The cost, therefore, of any work performed by the contractor is a contractor markup form the price book. The Gordian Group would receive 5% administrative fee from Cook County based on the total project cost of the work. The Gordian Group will manage the JOC process and will verify that all proposals and work are compliant with the terms and conditions outlined in the JOC contract within the County.
The Office of Capital Planning and Policy, proposes to assign the projects listed below to the Gordian Group to share with participating JOC contractors.
Project Descriptions:
1. 7th Floor North MIS Server Farm Renovation - This project creates a secure, and energy efficient data center to be shared by multiple agencies by reconfiguring the computer room and surrounding print and mail areas. This will eliminate the high cost of supporting user agencies "mini" data rooms located in many County buildings.
2. Morgue Sinks and Scales Replacements - This project will provide updated sinks and scales, eliminating delays in the intake & autopsy process, so the morgue can function efficiently. Also the existing decomp cooler requires HVAC upgrades to maintain temperature as well as the option to provide freezing temperatures.
3. Oak Forest Hospital (Homeland Security Building) Roof & Tuck Pointing - This project will provide tuck pointing to the roof, creating a stable mounting surface for radio communication antennas. This will prevent water infiltration.
