SUMMARY
On November 4, 2014, Chula Vista voters approved modifications to City Charter Sections 1009, 1010, and 1011 (Measure A) that delegated authority to the City Council to make procurement rules for awarding City public works contracts and other types of City contracts, including exceptions to the standard approval and competitive bid process where determined to be in the best overall interest of the City by at least four affirmative votes of the City Council. These proposed amendments to the City's purchasing ordinance would add and clarify policies and procedures for certain construction projects. The amendments would add Job Order Contracting (JOC) as a permissible project procurement method. JOC is procurement method typically used for minor or recurring tasks, such as maintenance, repairs, and renovations, which involve minimal design requirements. JOC is utilized to maximize efficiencies for and expedite the award of small, repetitive construction contracts. Additionally, the proposed amendments would establish uniform policies and procedures for Developer-Performed Public Works, exempt the City's purchasing system from the provisions of the California Public Contract Code, and provide for automatic indexed adjustments to dollar thresholds within the ordinance.
