How to bid on Job Order Contracts 153-155 with LA County Development Authority

What the agency is buying and why it matters

The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is seeking bids for three Job Order Contracts (JOCs): Numbers 153, 154, and 155. These contracts are for construction services, specifically for indefinite quantities of repair, remodeling, alteration, and other construction tasks across Los Angeles County.

Each contract will have a term of one year or until the maximum contract value of $6,402,606.00 is expended, whichever comes first. There is no minimum contract value. This is a good opportunity for construction firms to secure ongoing work through a series of individual projects.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The deadline for submitting bids is August 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Bids must be submitted by this time. A mandatory virtual pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 27, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time via Microsoft Teams. To attend, you must email [email protected] to confirm attendance before July 24, 2026.

Bidders must submit separate bids for each JOC Contract number. Your bid must be guaranteed for a minimum of 270 days.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for construction firms holding a California CSLB B-General Building Contractor license. Firms should be prepared to perform a variety of repair, remodeling, refurbishment, and alteration tasks.

Vendors should be familiar with or willing to adopt The Gordian JOC Solution, which includes proprietary software, applications, construction cost data, and a Construction Task Catalog. This solution will be used for preparing and submitting job order bid price proposals and other contract requirements.

How to respond

To access the solicitation package, visit the LACDA’s Procurement System website. On the bid's card, click the solicitation number to view full details and download all necessary documents. All information is publicly available without needing an account.

You must submit your response as directed in the solicitation package before the August 17, 2026, deadline. Ensure you answer all questions in the solicitation package accurately and completely, as failure to do so may result in your bid being deemed non-responsible. You must submit separate bids for each JOC Contract number.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

Carefully review the Statement of Work (SOW) Attachment B and all contract documents to fully understand the scope of work and requirements. Pay close attention to the details regarding the use of The Gordian JOC Solution and the work ordering procedure.

Ensure your firm meets all contract requirements, including specific insurance values, a 5% bid bond, 100% performance and payment bonds, and current California Department of Industrial Relations registration. Be aware that federal labor standards, including Davis-Bacon and related acts, and State Prevailing Wage Requirements will be enforced, with the higher of the two wages prevailing.

Prepare to execute a standard LACDA contract if awarded, as a sample is provided in the bid package. Also, be ready to comply with various federal and county regulations, such as Section 3 of the Housing and Development Act, Build America, Buy America Act, and the County’s Child Support Compliance Program.
