Background: A Job Order Contract is an indefinite quantity , task-order based contract that enables the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to complete tasks quickly and efficiently on an as-needed basis under a single, competitively bid construction contract using published pre-set unit prices.

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 original duration of this c ontract was two years. Under San Francisco Administrative Code section 6.62, the Commission may extend the term to a maximum duration of five years. The SFPUC may not issue any new task orders under this c ontract 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, this 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.
