Job Order Contracting Services

Description

Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an alternative public works process authorized and governed by RCW 39.10.  JOC is a competitively bid, firm-fixed-price, indefinite-quantity contract with a general contractor intended to complete various public works projects throughout the City. The City intends to utilize JOC as a project delivery method for projects of varying scope and size.  The City has the discretion to use JOC or another procurement method to contract for public works projects.  RCW 39.10.420 states:  “Public bodies may use a job order contract for public works projects when a determination is made that the use of job order contracts will benefit the public by providing an effective means of reducing the total lead-time and cost for the construction of public works projects for repair and renovation required at public facilities through the use of unit price books and work orders by eliminating time-consuming, costly aspects of the traditional public works process, which require separate contracting actions for each small project.”   The Work will be set forth in the Detailed Scope of Work for individual Job Orders. The Contractor is required to complete each Detailed Scope of Work for the Job Order Price within the Job Order Completion Time. The Contractor will be required to perform Work at any site or facility under the jurisdiction of the City.
