Overview

Why JOC?
SACRAMENTO COUNTY
• Job Order Contracting (JOC) is all about efficiency and
value. Sacramento County struggled with the need to
procure quality construction, in a timely fashion, and at
a competitive price for the small to medium size repair,
remodel renovation work.
• What JOC did was enabled Sacramento County to focus
on completing projects instead of getting bogged down
in the procurement process.

Job Order Contracting Overview
Job Order Contracting (JOC) Is A Firm Fixed Priced,
Competitively Bid, Indefinite Quantity Procurement Process
For Small To Medium Sized Construction and Repair Projects.
JOC Creates a Fundamentally Different Construction
Procurement Relationship
Contractors Are Subjected To Different
Motivations And Behaviors
Fosters a Non-Adversarial Relationship Between
Public Agency & Contractor

Job Order Contracting Overview
JOC Structure & Bidding Guidance
• County establishes a fixed initial term
•
Typically one year
•
May include options to extend
• County establishes a guaranteed minimum dollar value
•
Some nominal amount - typically $25,000 or $50,000
• County establishes a pre-established maximum value
•
Represents the expected amount of work to be accomplished
•
Based on owner’s budget
• Prior to bidding the County does not:
•
Identify or commit to any specific project or location
•
Identify or commit to any specific quantities or tasks in the catalog of
construction tasks
10
Job Order Contracting Overview
A JOC is Competitively Procured!
• Each bidder must bid two adjustment factors to the prices
published in the unit price book
•
Normal time & other than normal time
•
Same two adjustment factors apply to all tasks in the unit price book
•
Adjustment factors must include all indirect costs & profit & are fixed for one
year
• Lowest adjustment factors (i.e. lowest bid) is the basis of
award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder
•
A typical adjustment factor might be 1.10 or 1.20
•
The same adjustment factor applies to every task in the unit price book and
cannot be changed
11
Job Order Contracting Overview
How Does JOC Work?
• Joint Scope - County & contractor jointly develop scope of
work as a team
• Contractor develops price using tasks & prices from the
unit price book
•
•
•
Each total task price = price book unit price x quantity x adjustment factor
Prices are fixed, only scope is negotiated
Also develops schedule, shop drawings, material samples
• Contractor’s price & other information is reviewed &
approved
• County issues a lump sum job order
•
Risk of performance remains with contractor - no adjustment of quantities
after issuance of job order
• Average duration from joint scope to issuance of job order
is ~ 28 days
12
Job Order Contracting Overview
JOC - Why It Works
• The job order contract is a series of individual projects or
job orders
•
Contractor is guaranteed only a minimum amount of work
•
If minimum value is met, no further work has to
be given to a failing contractor
• Contractor has a continuing financial incentive to provide:
•
Responsive services
•
Quality work
•
Lower cost
• Future job orders tied to contractor performance
•
No obligation to give a specific project to JOC contractor
•
Additional JOCs may be bid and awarded
•
Key point - profit for prime JOC is a function of volume
• JOC is truly a performance-based contract
• JOC does not replace traditional methods for
accomplishing work
