About:
Job Order Contracting (JOC) is designed for maintenance, repair, alteration, renovation, remediation, and minor construction of facilities when work is of a recurring nature, but delivery times, type and quantities of work required are indefinite. Facility is defined as a building, the design and construction of which is governed by accepted building codes, or a structure or land, whether improved or unimproved, that is associated with a building. The price for each assignment is established by a Unit Price Book (UPB) with an adjustment factor referred to as a “coefficient”.
JOC Contracts are not allowed for:
- A highway, road, street, bridge, utility, water supply project, water plant, wastewater plant, water and wastewater distribution or conveyance facility, wharf, dock, airport runway or taxiway, drainage project, or related type of project associated with civil engineering construction; or
- A building or structure that is incidental to a project that is primarily a civil engineering construction project.
2020 JOC Contract Terms:
- Initial Term of 24 months, with option of three possible 12-month terms
- Eight Contractors
- Maximum aggregate contract price of $48,000,000 to be distributed among the eight contractors

Professional Support:
- Creation of a JOC Design Consultants Rotation List Five contracts with consultant teams for a total of $5,000,000 to be divided among the five consultants.
- These consultants will have a better understanding of JOC and provide more accurate construction cost estimates using R.S. Means cost data.
Pricing Methodology:
- Left-hand RSMeans (bare material, labor, equipment costs) + coefficient for self-performed work
- Right-hand RSMeans (bare costs including overhead & profit) + coefficient for subcontractor work
- Intent is to pass through the R.S. Means O&P to the subcontractors to address market pricing issues and drive increased MBE/WBE participation
Coefficient:
- All CSI Division 1 line items are excluded from the UPB and associated costs are to be considered as part of the Coefficients
- This will more clearly define general requirement items that are part of the coefficient
Assignment Cancellation/Withdrawal Retribution Fee:
- A standard flat-rate “line-item” fee of $500 for Scope of Work development and $1,000 for proposal development will be paid to contractor when an assignment is unilaterally canceled by the City after SOW/proposal development has been completed
