PROPOSED RECONSIDERATION OF PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ITEM AND REQUEST TO APPROVE AS AMENDED
Department: The Office of Capital Planning and Policy, the Department of Facilities Management, the Department of Transportation and Highways and the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer.
Request: Amend the authorization amount for various contracts awarded for the Countywide Job Order Contract (JOC) Program. JOC is a quantity based procurement process that allows facility owners to complete a multitude of repair/maintenance and construction project with a single, competitively bid contract. The JOC process involved first selecting a vendor pool of potential contractors through a competitive procurement process, and identifying projects for such selected vendors. The contractors were found to be the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder through a competitive bid process in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code.
On 3/20/2013, The Board of Commissioners approved contracts with the selected contractors listed below for the Countywide Job Order Contracting (JOC) Program. The contractors selected under this contract replaced those contractors providing services under the prior City of Chicago contract, which was a comparable government procurement in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. The contracts are a two (2) year base term with two (2) one-year renewal options from the date of execution; 3/20/2013 to 3/19/2015.
The Office of Capital Planning and Policy, the Department of Facilities Management, the Department of Transportation and Highways, and the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer request authorization to increase the previously approved contract of $24,000,000.00, by $24,000,000.00 to accommodate two (2) year base contract period. The increase will allow the JOC program to facilitate all departments' upcoming projects through the base contract period.
