Executing a Job Order Contract and achievement of the best possible outcomes require a focus upon change management, owner leadership, collaboration, independent, objective, and actionable cost data and information, and continuous learning.
A typical workflow associated with an individual JOC task order/project is described below.
Planning, collaboration, and transparency are key elements of a Job Order Contract.
The joint site visit best demonstrates these characteristics in practice. Participants and stakeholders (owner technical team, building user, and JOC contractor) perform joint site visit to validate current site conditions, discuss the scope of work, and review any additional requirements. The owner “team” can not only communicate their needs, but also gain a better appreciation of any issues that the contractor may raise. The contractor is better positioned to create an accurate proposal that reflects owner needs. This process is fundamental to JOC and serves to mitigate confusion, errors, omissions, and change orders that are prevalent using traditional construction delivery methods.
