Overview of the JOC Program
What is Job Order Contracting (JOC)?
It is a contract delivery used to accomplish a large number of individual projects under a single master
contract awarded to the most qualified and prequalified bidder who is licensed, bonded and
general liability insured.

JOC is performance-based.

JOC Contractors are experienced in handling multiple public works construction contracts, able to
effectively handle and manage projects simultaneously at different stages District-Wide.

Bidder agrees to a fixed period, fixed unit price (Bid Adjustment Factor), and indefinite quantity contract
that provides for the use of job orders for public works or maintenance projects.

PSA applies regardless of the value of the project. JOC Contractors are required, under the PSA, to
notify the unions within 7 days prior to the commencement of work.

JOC uses The Gordian Group’s Construction Task Catalog (CTC) which contains more than 180,000
construction line items from material, equipment, and labor to demolition to installation. It is priced for
the area of work and customized for each program such as the WLAN Program as an example. It comes
complete with technical specifications.

Bidder bids an Adjustment Bid Factor (ABF) which is used as a multiplier against CTC (i.e. 1.000 ABF
x quantity x unit cost)

Overview of the JOC Program

The guaranteed minimum amount is $25,000 per Master Contract. The District awards JOC master
contracts based on contractor performance and ability to increase bond capacity per the District’s work
volume.

The initial contract term is 1 year with two 1-year options for a maximum contract period of 3 years.

The initial value of the contract may be adjusted, according to contractor’s performance, at any time up to a
potential value of $5M covering the first term of the contract and up to a potential maximum value of
$10M thereafter, as long as the prime contractor can bond for the additional contract amount.
Benefits of JOC
To the Owner: Benefits include the accelerated completion of projects, cost savings, and reduction of
construction contracting complexity
To the Contractor: Benefits include having the ability to receive projects based on performance and
increase bond capacity through successful completion of projects.

SELECTION PROCESS
SELECTION PROCESS
1. The selection and award is based on and evaluated in accordance with the minimum qualification
requirements and criteria set forth per specific JOC RFP.
2. The District determines the most qualified prequalified proposer as follows:
The Composite Adjustment Factor is the resultant factor derived from dividing the Adjustment Bid Factor by
the Contractor Performance Score and SBE Points as shown below.
Calculation of the Composite Adjustment Factor
The Adjustment Bid Factor is divided by the total Contractor Performance Score and SBE Points
calculated in percent format (i.e. 80 + 5 points = 85 or 85%) for evaluation, ranking, and selection purposes:
Contractor Adjustment Bid Factor /(Performance Eval Score + SBE Points)
