Public works reports Job Order Contract performance and lists completed key capital projects
Summary
Public Works reported the Job Order Contract program initiated 143 projects with $22.51 million in construction contract value and achieved the program’s 50% local‑contractor threshold; staff also presented recently completed key capital projects including Elkhorn Road rehabilitation, San Ardo drainage improvements and a $5 million generator replacement.
Public Works, Facilities and Parks updated the committee on two operational items: the Job Order Contract (JOC) program status and a semiannual completed‑projects slideshow covering key capital projects.
Assistant Director Lindsay told the committee the department initiated 143 job‑order projects during the reporting period. She reported total construction contract value of $22,510,000 and that the guardian license fee (5% of construction contract value) was "a little bit north of $1,100,000." Lindsay said the department achieved 100% of projects meeting the program’s 50% local‑contractor threshold.
On completed key capital projects (threshold: projects over $100,000), staff highlighted several recent finishes: Elkhorn Road rehabilitation ($4,600,000 funded by SB1 and MeasureX) including resurfacing and pavement repairs; San Ardo drainage improvements (just under $1,000,000; SB1 funded); a Rancho Tio Grande pavement overlay (~$3,400,000; TOT/local road rehabilitation funding); Viejos Road slope repair (~$1,600,000 funded by FEMA, Cal OES and MeasureX); and a generator replacement project (about $5,000,000, described as replacing noncompliant generators and buying a temporary unit for interim use).
Staff also described completed facility projects: an HVAC replacement at the Salinas animal services facility (about $1,000,000; Fund 4‑78), a Sheriff’s reentry modular resource hub (~$1,800,000; grant‑funded), a Greenfield Library reroof (~$425,000; library funds) and security glazing installations at elections and public‑defender offices (project costs quoted in the packet).
Committee members asked pragmatic follow‑up questions. On the temporary generators, staff said two units are stored at the county yard in Laurel and agreed to follow up with capacity details and compatibility with other local government facilities so the county could offer generator assistance during PSPS or other emergencies.
What happens next: staff will provide additional procurement and capacity details for the temporary generators and continue reporting bond/grant/fund allocations as projects move through construction and closeout.
