Beware of JOC Cooperatives that Require Low Bid Acceptance…. seek our BEST VALUE JOB ORDER CONTRACTING SOLUTIONS.
In today’s world, it’s more important than ever to research the facts.
If you are a public sector facilities manager look for a best-in-class Job Order Contract, and perhaps considering starting off with a JOC Cooperative, make certain that the program is based upon BEST VALUE procurement, as well as other core Job Order Contract principles. A JOC Program that requires acceptance of the lowest bidder is NOT a true JOC Program.
There are also so-called JOC Programs that don’t require a unit price book. These programs are also not true JOC Programs.
Job Order Contracting can be a win-win situation for real property owners and JOC contractors. It can delivery over 90% of renovation, repair, and minor new construction projects on-time, on-budget, and to everyone’s satisfaction, ONLY if the JOC Program is based upon LEAN JOC best management practices (BMPs).
