Summary:

ORDINANCE appropriating $300,000.00 out of General Government Consolidated Construction Fund, $528,000.00 out of Public Health Consolidated Construction Fund, $65,000.00 out of Parks Consolidated Construction Fund, $207,000.00 out of Parks & Recreation Dedication Fund and $65,000.00 out of Equipment Acquisition Consolidated Fund as an additional appropriation to the Task Order and Job Order Contracting Program for FY2016 (Approved by Ordinance Number 2013-1093)

Background:

SUBJECT:  Appropriate Additional Funds for the Task Order and Job Order (TOC/JOC) Contracting Program for FY2016

RECOMMENDATION:   Appropriate additional funds for the TOC/JOC Contracting Program for FY2016.

SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:  The General Services Department (GSD) utilizes task order and job order contracts to facilitate minor architectural and engineering design services, mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, roof consulting services, construction, repairs, rehabilitations, or alterations of facilities for its client departments.   Having these contracts in place allows the City to expedite smaller facility construction projects and can help the City respond quickly to emergency situations. Funds will be allocated to design task order contracts or construction job order contracts as work orders are issued.  Therefore, GSD recommends that City Council appropriate an additional $1,165,000.00 to the TOC/JOC Program for professional and construction services for  the General Government, Solid Waste Management, Parks and Recreation, and Health Departments for FY 2016. 

 

BACKGROUND:  The TOC/JOC Program is funded through supplemental allocations from various departmental budgets or appropriations from various bond funds, up to the maximum contract amount, as departments identify projects and specific funding for each project.  Fees for each TOC project are negotiated based upon the size and complexity of the tasks involved. JOC work orders are issued and approved in accordance with pre-described and pre-priced tasks as established by the R.S. Means Facilities Construction Cost Data book.
