Job Order Contracting Regions 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8

The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (“DASNY”) is soliciting bids for its Job Order Contracting Program. A Job Order Contract (“JOC”) is a competitive bid, indefinite quantity construction contract. The contract includes a catalog of detailed construction tasks with pre-set unit prices and related technical specifications. Unit prices are updated annually. Contractors bid adjustment factors which cover their overhead and profit to be multiplied by the pre-set unit prices.

DASNY will enter into JOC contracts with successful bidder(s). JOC contractors will perform individual projects as assigned in various regions (see below) for DASNY construction programs. JOC contractors provide all management, supervision, documentation and ancillary design work (as required), in facilities throughout New York State. The cost of individual projects performed under JOC contracts will be based on the pre-set unit prices for the project’s work scope, any non-pre-priced items as appropriate and the JOC contractor’s competitively bid adjustment factors.

Sealed bids for the above work located in the regions listed below will be received by DASNY at its office located at 515 Broadway, Albany, NY 12207. Each bid must be identified, on the outside of the envelope, with the name and address of the bidder and designated as a bid for the region and trade noted below. When a sealed bid is placed inside another delivery jacket, the bid delivery jacket must be clearly marked on the outside “BID ENCLOSED” and “ATTENTION: CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS UNIT. – LIANNE ALCANTARA” DASNY will not be responsible for receipt of bids which do not comply with these instructions.

Contract(s) to be bid:

Contract Term = Base Term: One (1) year from the issuance of a Notice of Contract Award. Option Period: Both the Owner and the Contractor must mutually agree to extend the Contract for an option period. The Contract includes three (3) Option Periods, and each term of the Option Period is one (1) year.

Notwithstanding this designation, DASNY reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to assign work to any contractor in any geographic area. 

For Region 1 (New York (Manhattan), Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), Richmond (Staten Island), and Queens), Region 2 (Nassau, and Suffolk counties) and Region 3 (Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam) only: DASNY has determined that its interest in obtaining the best work at the lowest possible price, preventing favoritism, fraud and corruption, and other considerations such as the impact of delay, the possibility of cost savings advantages and any local history of labor unrest are best met by use of a Project Labor Agreement (“PLA”). The successful low bidder, as a condition of being awarded a Contract, will be required to execute the PLA described in the Information for Bidders and included in the Contract Documents. See Section 18.0 of the Information for Bidders of the Contract Documents for additional information. All subcontractors of every tier will be required to agree to be bound by the PLA. The threshold for DASNY’s PLA is $3,000,000 in the five (5) boroughs of New York City, and $1,500,000 in Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties. However, notwithstanding the Estimated Annual Contract Volume, PLA Factors must be provided for any trade contract in Regions 1, 2, and 3.  DASNY’s PLA may be required on a per-project basis even if the contract value is less than the applicable threshold.

Contractors who currently hold an active JOC term contract with 12 months or more remaining on any contract term must carefully consider their ability to comply with all program requirements and to perform to DASNY’s standards and expectations for its JOC contractors, before bidding on an additional JOC term contract, especially for a contract of the same trade and in the region as their current contract.
