RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution accepting the
City Manager's recommendation pertaining to the proposals received, pursuant to Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) 2023-096-KB, for job order contracting (JOC) services for horizontal,
vertical, seawall/coastal construction. The Resolution authorizes the Administration to establish a
pool of prequalified contractors, as set forth in Attachment A, for the categories of horizontal,
vertical, and seawall/coastal construction. The Resolution also authorizes the City Manager and
City Clerk to execute an agreement upon the conclusion of successful negotiations and requires
that any project task order with a value greater than $2 million be subject to prior approval by the
Mayor and City Commission. Any task order for a project with a value of up to $2 million will be
approved by the City Manager or designee and will continue to be reported monthly to the Mayor
and City Commission.
The solicitation is currently under the cone of silence.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
JOC is a project delivery method utilized by many public organizations to expedite construction
projects through competitively bid, fixed price, multi -year contracts. JOC contracts are based on
Page 39 of 1588
a construction task catalog, which includes unit pricing for over 300,000 tasks potentially needed
on a project, and an agreed -upon multiplier, which covers the contractor's overhead, insurance,
and profit. JOC has been used extensively for over 40 years by federal, state, and local
organizations. A white paper on the JOC process is attached hereto as Attachment B.
One of the most important considerations in a JOC process is a comprehensive and accurate
construction task catalog ("CTC"). To that end, the City has partnered with The Gordian Group,
the nation's leading provider of facility and construction cost data, software, and services for the
JOC process and all phases of the building lifecycle. The Gordian Group prepares a CTC that
is issued with the solicitation and is based on construction task pricing in the local area. The
CTC may be adjusted annually based on local market pricing fluctuations.
When a project is ready for construction, a contractor and the organization work together to
develop the task order for the construction phase of the project based on the CTC tasks
needed for the project. The multiplier, which is preset in the contract, is applied to the sum of all
CTC tasks that will be required for the project. The multiplier includes the contractor's overhead,
insurance, and profit. The steps of the task order development phase are outlined below.
Step 1 — Joint Scope Meeting: City and contractor review project and design details.
Step 22 — Price Proposal: Contractor prepares a detailed price proposal by selecting the tasks in
the CTC needed for the project. The contract multiplier is applied to the sum of all CTC tasks.
Step — Price Proposal Review: City reviews price proposal to ensure that the correct CTC
tasks, quantities, and multiplier have been applied.
Step 4 — Task Order Approval: Task orders with a value of up to $2 million will be approved by
the City Manager or designee. Task orders with a value greater than $2 million to be subject to
prior approval by the Mayor and City Commission.
Steps — The contractor provides the bonds (if applicable) and the work may commence.
Through JOG, projects can move from design to construction in a matter of weeks, not months
as is typical when a separate procurement must be processed for each project. The ability to
quickly assign competitively selected contractors to time -sensitive projects, including projects
for maintenance or repairs and projects funded through general obligation bonds, is critical to
expediting the City's capital program and maintenance needs.
On October 16, 2019, the Mayor and City Commission approved the award of contracts to 18
contractors pursuant to ITB 2019-257-KB for job order contracting services in various
categories of work. The Agreements for the categories of vertical (building), horizontal
(roadwork or civil), and seawall/coastal are scheduled to expire in November 2023. As a result,
the Administration prepared Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2023-096-KB seeking proposals
for a replacement contract.
ANALYSIS
On February 1, 2023, the Mayor and City Commission authorized the issuance of Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) 2023-096-KB for Job Order Contracting (JOC) services for horizontal,
vertical, seawall/coastal construction. On February 3, 2023, the RFQ was issued. A voluntary
pre -proposal conference was held on February 16, 2023, to provide information to proposers
submitting a response. The Procurement Department issued bid notices to 57,300 companies
through the e-procurement system, with 123 prospective bidders accessing the advertised
solicitation. RFQ responses were due and received on May 19, 2023. The City received
proposals from the following contractors in each category:

The -Administration will typically select a contractor for a project on a rotational- basis to maintain
equity among_ the awarded contractors. For unique projects requiring a specific competency, the
requesting department may review contractor qualifications and recommend a specific
contractor based on lunique skills or experience.
SUPPORTING SURVEY DATA
'Not Applicable.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Administration will enter intonegotiations with.the selected contractors to include but not be
limited :to applicable contract provisions and the adjustment factors that will be applicable to
each category of work. The City may equalize the adjustment factor amongst all contractors for
similar categories. Notwithstanding the preceding, the City is in no way obligated to enter -into a
contract with the selected Proposer(s) in the event the parties are unable to negotiate a contract.
During the term of the current agreement, the City has project task orders totaling approximately
sixteen million dollars, with an average project size of $400,000. However, the City anticipates
that the volume of work pursuant to the JOC program will increase due to recent bond programs
approved and -as more projects require expediting, including resiliency projects such as the city-
wide seawall initiative and deferred maintenance projects.
It is anticipated that the majority of projects issued under this RFQ.will be valued below $2
million. Projects above $2 million will require prior approval by the Mayor and City Commission.
Any task order for a project with a value of up to $2 million will continue to be included in the
Procurement Report LTC issued monthly.
CONCLUSION
The JOC program will continue to provide a resource to expedite smaller, critical needs and GO
Bond projects through competitively selected contractors that can be quickly deployed. After
Page 43 of 1588
considering the submissions, the Evaluation Committee process, the lists of capital projects and
GO Bond projects for which the JOC program is appropriate, it is recommended that the
Administration be authorized to negotiate with following contractors in each category of work in
order to establish. a pool of prequalified J OC contractors for expediting future work.

Upon approval of this item, staff will negotiate with the recommended firms to establish the
terms and conditions and the multiplier (i.e., overhead, insurance, and profit) that will be applied
to the sum of all CTC tasks as a percent.
As has been stated, the JOC program provides a competitively awarded process -for expediting
many projects as the contractors are preselected and can be quickly assigned a project without
the need to issue a competitive solicitation every time a project is identified. For the contract that
may result from this RFQ, the Administration anticipates that many of the capital renewal and
replacement or priority projects will continue to -be expedited through the JOC program. JOC
was also helpful in completing a number of quick -win -projects from the 2018- GO Bond. I n
addition, J OC -is anticipated to be utilized on smaller projects (less than $2 million) that will need
to be expedited as part of the GO Bond —Arts and Culture, including portions or
repair/replacement projects at the Bass Museum, Miami City Ballet, The Colony Theater, the
Miami Beach Botanical'Garden, Art Deco Welcome Center, the North Beach Oceanfront
Center (UNI DAD), and others. Any project with a value :greater than $2 million will require
approval of the Mayor and City Commission. Also, the Public Works Department conducted a
seawall prioritization effort that identified 66 segments that require work, with approximately
15,000 linear feet of seawall construction planned. The Department is anticipating expediting
completion of these projects through the JOC program.
For the reasons stated herein, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Commissionapprove
the Resolution authorizing .the Administration to establish a pool.of prequalified contractors, as
set forth in Attachment A for the categories Hof horizontal, vertical, and seawall/coastal
construction; and further authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to execute agreements with
each of the foregoing proposers upon conclusion of successful negotiations providing that any
task order for a specific project which is greater than $2 million be subject to prior approval by
Page 44 of 1588
the Mayor and City Commission. Any task order for a project with a value of up to $2 million will
continue to be reported to the City Commission monthly.

Methods and Techniques of [OC Implementation
Presented by RSMeans Business Solutions
Robert Gair, Principal
Executive Summary
Job Order Contracting (JOC), is a general contracting method for the delivery of maintenance, upgrade and
refurbishment services for buildngs. JOC greatly reduces the amount of estimating and bidding activities
needed to precede the work, allows for quicker delivery, and helps foster long-term relationships between
the client and the general contractor which are based on the quality delivery of services.
JOC is philosophically similar -to the design -build methodology that is used for "ground up" (e.g., new
buildings) facility construction. Construction professionals who are familiar with design -build should be
comfortable with the use of JOC. JOC was developed in the early eighties by the U.S. Department of Defense
to expedite the routine repair and maintenance of worldwide military facilities in order to decrease the
inherent inefficiencies in traditional design -bid -build practices when applied to a large volume of small
projects.
From the experiences of those who have implemented it, the key to the successful application of JOC is to
understand the fundamental methodology arid its strengths and limitations. JOC is most successful when
applied to the general contracting situations for which it was designed — a large number of repair,
refurbishment and upgrade projects performed by a single contractor, or limited number of general
contractors, under a fixed -price bid. The contractors are constantly evaluated on the quality of the work
delivered. However, for either end of the contracting spectrum, ground up (new) or specialty (craft)
contracting, JOC is not an optimal solution.
Since JOC revolves around the use of a mutually accepted Unit Price Book (UPB) and estimating techniques,
accurate and timely location construction data is critical. To this end, it is fundamental to the success of JOC
that both,parties understand the components of the JOC line -item estimates, and the workup of JOC
estimates for any given scope of work.
In this RSMeans Technical White Paper, we present a discussion of the f ndings of our interviews with construction
executives who use JOC across a range of settings —from the general contractor's perspective, as well as that of the
client, to private and public construction markets. Our discussions have shown that construction innovators on both
sides of the table (client and contractor alike) are expanding the application of JOC — successfully modifying the
original methodology to suit their needs, which are always centered around the quality delivery of a large number of
simultaneous repair, refurbish and upgrade projects. Benefits in terns of quicker scheduling and completion, better
quality work, better value over traditional design -bid -build. methods, and higher end -user satisfaction are commnionplace.
Page 47 of 1588
Methods and Techniques of JOC Implementation
JOC Utilization Aniong Various Industries
In the school and municipal sectors, there appears to be growing adoption of the JOC methodology.
The critical factor always seems to be the amount of experience and familiarity with JOC procedures.
In some cases, state legislation can pose obstacles (having been written in an era of multiple bid, lowest
price contracting, and without the awareness of the single -award, multiple -project nature of JOC), butin
many states, the legislation is simply silent on the issue. Certain states (most notably, Texas, Arizona and
Washington, to name a few) have embraced JOC as a contracting tool for state contracts: In certain cases,
facilities engineering and construction managers who are ex -military have been hired and can bring
the JOC methodologies into the organization.
Another issue that is driving the adoption of JOC is reduced budgets. The budgets require owners to obtain
more value for the construction dollar, and often, owners attempt to utilize in-house maintenance staffs for
repair, renovation and refurbishment projects. In-house staffs may not be well -suited for these projects, and
other maintenance duties are detracted from. All of these factors together tend to push organizations toward
the adoption of JOC.
The JOC approach dramatically cuts engineering, design, and contract procurement time by awarding long-term
contracts for a wide variety of renovation, repair and minor construction jobs. JOCs typically are awarded with
durations of 3 to 6 years. Annual volumes on specific JOCs can range from $1 million to $100 million. Typical average
values are in the range of $50,000 to $5,000,000. The method. of pricing, under the terms of a fOC contract is a Unit
Price Book (UPB) which has 40,000 to 60;000 line items organized in the Construction Specifications Institute's CSI
Divisions.
JOCs are usually awarded on the basis of a combination of, the contractor's technical/management proposal
and coefficient, with strong consideration given to the contractor's past performance on similar work. Many
JOCs are awarded to contractors who do not submit the lowest coefficient, but rather -have a superior
technical/management proposal and demonstrate strong.past performance. Using contract coefficients and
the RSMeans UPB minimizes the potential for differences of opinion between the owner and contractor over
pricing of the individual delivery orders. The owner's review of the contractor's proposal usually focuses on
three basic issues:
• Is the line item selected appropriate for the scope of the work?
• Does the line item in the proposal reflect the correct quantity of work involved?
• Is the proposal within the owner's budget?
Current JOC Practices
The implementation of JOC has expanded beyond its original methodology, and diverse practices that
enhance the benefits of JOC (e.g., substantial reductions in project bid -to -completion time, better value
for the construction dollar, better contractor/client relationships, and high levels of end -user satisfaction with
construction services for the owner) are noted.
Size of Contractor — Orientation Toward JOC and Owner View
Several construction services clients observed that JOC seems to be favored by medium-sized contractors (ranging from
$20 million to $50 million'in annual billings) who would typically have about 20% to 25% of their annual revenue in JOC
awards. The contractors use this relatively predictable work to smooth out cash flow during the year.
The contractor has to be of sufficient size and have a field supervisor on site, sometimes as a
"working" supervisor. Typically, this would be a contracting firm with at least four or. five field supervisors on staff.
Conversely, this tends to limit the participation of the larger contractors, whom, the client respondents believe, tend not
to assign the proper level of field supervision to the JOC contracts since they expect their field supervisors to oversee a
larger size and scope of work for each project.

Advantages of JOC Contracting
Successful implementation of JOC is dependent on knoudedge, by both the contractor and the client, of the
strengths and limitations of JOC and a keen understanding of the common language of estimating as expressed
in the Unit Price Book — the key document that provides the mutually accepted basis for the JOC awards. The
benefits of a well -administrated JOC program OnMlving both experienced clients and contractors) are well
documented: increased construction dollar value, steady and profitable work for qualified contractors, and
satisfied clients and end users. The procurement and contract process for each delivery order is greatly
simplified because the owner does not need a complete engineering and design package and does not have to
spend the time and money to advertise for public bids for each project. Also, the work is generally started
more quickly. Few construction methodologies can match this menu of benefits for all parties involved.
The owner has the benefit of using a contractor who is well qualified. Usually the contractor is
required to submit a technical/management proposal that is evaluated to confirm capability and past
performance. References on similar contracts are also carefully checked. These two factors, combined
with the price proposal, are usually the basis for award of a JOC. In this way, long-term partnering
relationships are fostered. Emergency and urgent projects can also be responsively accomplished.
For facilities that have strict security requirements, the contractor will have a staff with security
clearances that can perform the work without delay. JOC contracting is an effective means for
government and institutional owners to accomplish construction work on existing facilities. When
properly managed by both the owner and contractor, JOC provides responsive work at a fair price.
