What Is Job Order Contracting? 3 General contractors can perform all construction services. Division awards (mechanical, electrical, fence and bleachers) limit contractors to construction services listed in their awarded divisions.The general guide for allowable work will be the current RS MEANS Facilities Construction Cost Data (MEANS). Each division in MEANS lists a number of construction tasks, services and commodities. The contractor can provide any item listed in an awarded division. For the fencing contracts, the guide will be the fence Unit Price Book. Contractors may perform ancillary services outside of awarded divisions, if required to complete a covered project. If an electrical contractor installs outlets in a room, he may also perform the work necessary to patch or repair the wall around the new outlets. A mechanical contractor may run power to a new air handler. However, the mechanical contractor may not install new electrical outlets just because he is already on the job. The key to acceptable ancillary work is that the work be a minor part of completing a project. Contracting for convenience outside the scope of an award is not acceptable.

If they were offered in the proposal, a contractor may also provide professional services such as architects, engineers, etc.

What Can the Contractors Do?   General contractors can perform all construction services. Division awards (mechanical, electrical, fence and bleachers) limit contractors to construction services listed in their awarded divisions.The general guide for allowable work will be the current RS MEANS Facilities Construction Cost Data (MEANS). Each division in MEANS lists a number of construction tasks, services and commodities. The contractor can provide any item listed in an awarded division. For the fencing contracts, the guide will be the fence Unit Price Book. Contractors may perform ancillary services outside of awarded divisions, if required to complete a covered project.

If they were offered in the proposal, a contractor may also provide professional services such as architects, engineers, etc.
   


How Are Jobs Priced?   Each job is priced in accordance with costs in the Unit Price Book (UPB). The contractor and member determine the scope of the project. The contractor determines the UPB line items required for the project and the quantity of each line item. The quantity for each line item is multiplied by the applicable unit price. Finally, a coefficient (i.e., .82) is multiplied against the grand total of all individual line item costs. This is the project cost. Professional services, if requested, are charged in addition to project cost.Some required construction services might not be listed in UPB. The contract contains provisions for pricing and adding those services.
   


Are There Any Limits Under JOC?   No single JOC project may exceed $1 million. The Arizona Revised Statutes specify that no project shall be artificially divided to avoid the single project limit. Members should carefully consider the scope of each project to ensure it does not exceed the single project cost cap.
   


How Do Members Use JOC?   Contact the contractor and meet to determine the scope of the project.

Obtain a detailed quote from the contractor.
The quote should provide a list of UPB line items, line item quantities, line item unit prices, extended line item costs, total cost before coefficient, and total cost after application coefficient. Obtaining a detailed quote will help ensure the project was priced correctly.
Note: The Performance and Payment Bond requirements that are applicable to other construction purchasing also apply to JOC.
Prepare a purchase order made out to the contractor and attach the contractor’s detailed quote.
Mohave uses the quote to verify that the job was priced in accordance with the contract. Failure to attach the quote will delay the project.
Mohave forwards "MESC Reviewed" purchase order to the contractor. Contractor begins work on the project, after the contractor receives Mohave’s purchase order.
Starting the project before receipt of an "MESC Reviewed" purchase order is a violation of the contract and may result in termination of the contract.
Contractor invoices Mohave for completed work.
Larger projects may require progress payments. Decide on progress payments prior to issuing your purchase order to Mohave. Make a note on the purchase order if progress payments will be used.
Mohave confirms contractor’s invoice amount and invoices the member.
When progress payments are used, it will be the member’s responsibility to confirm that the work for each payment application is complete.
Member pays vendors’s invoice.
Pay promptly. Certain statutory timelines apply to payments made on construction projects.
