Body
BACKGROUND
On December 8, 2021, City Council authorized a two-year construction services contract with two one-year renewal options with Nouveau Technology Services, L.P., dba Nouveau Construction and Technology Services, L.P. (Nouveau) to provide job order contracting (JOC) services for City facilities.
JOC is an alternative contracting method that is used to address construction, repair, rehabilitation, and alterations at City owned buildings established by Texas Local Government Code Chapter 2269, Subchapter I, Section 2269.401. JOC provides a method for completing work that is typically faster than other types of construction delivery methods. No funds are encumbered, and no quantity or value of work is guaranteed to the contractor.
JOC services are provided at any City facility: fire stations, police stations, administration buildings, recreation centers, arts and cultural facilities, City Hall, etc. JOC Services of a Job Order may include one or more of the following systems or component categories: accessibility components, interior building envelopes, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, electrical systems, plumbing systems, interior finishes, exterior finishes, and roofing systems.
In addition to planned capital improvement projects, over the past year the City has purchased buildings that require significant renovations and various systems enhancements. The impact of several extreme weather events caused damage to city facilities, which increased the number of environmental abatement projects. Other departments have requested using the JOC to complete some of their required projects, such as the installation of electric vehicle charging stations managed by the Department of Equipment & Fleet Management. These events resulted in higher usage of JOC services than projected. This Change Order will enable the Building Services Department to optimize the JOC contract by increasing it 25 percent.
