Summary of
Proposed

Approve Modification No. 1 to Job Order Contract No. JOC-90, General Engineering (A License) Construction, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda Counties with GSW Construction, Inc., to increase the contract duration by one year, for a total contract duration of three years, to allow additional time to complete ongoing facility and asset improvements.
Background: A Job Order Contract is an indefinite quantity, task order based contract that enables the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to quickly and efficiently complete tasks on an as-needed basis under a single, competitively bid construction contract using published pre-set unit prices.
The SFPUC has used Job Order Contracts for a wide range of construction activities including general building construction and general engineering construction, specialized electrical work in power turbines and switchyards, spot sewer repair, marine related services, lighting upgrades, repair of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and energy efficiency retrofits.
The not-to-exceed amount of this Contract is $5,000,000. Under San Francisco Administrative Code section 6.62, the Commission may increase the maximum contract value by up to 150% of the original contract value (an additional $2,500,000) for a total potential maximum contract amount of $7,500,000.
The duration of this Contract is two years. Under San Francisco Administrative Code section 6.62, the Commission may extend the term up to five years. The SFPUC may not issue any new task orders under this Contract after four years from the date the Controller certifies the availability of funds for this Contract.
On August 23, 2022, by Resolution No. 22-0138, the Commission awarded Job Order Contract No. JOC-90, General Engineering (A License) Construction, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda Counties to GSW Construction, Inc., with an original not-to-exceed contract amount of $5,000,000 and an original contract duration of two years.
