OGDC uses a system called Job Order Contracting (JOC). With a client-focused approach and a large surge capacity, OGDC has earned a reputation as both a proven provider and a JOC leader.

JOC is a competitively bid, fixed-price, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, long-term contract. Rates are pre-established by an accepted price book of your choice. JOC provides you with an on-site contractor to deliver cost-effective, highly responsive solutions for your repair, renovation and construction projects. Through JOC, multiple construction projects can be delivered simultaneously or on an as-needed basis through individual on-call work orders.

Here is an example of the JOC process:

1. Determine realistic potential annual volume. First, establish how many job orders between $2,500 and $2M your facility will engage in for one year. The typical successful multi-year JOC contract is $5M per year.
2. Determine the contract duration. Typically, JOCs are one-year base contracts with two to four one-year options. This long-term relationship is what ensures cost savings and quality service.
3. Issue solicitation and evaluate proposals. Your Request for Proposal (RFP) should include value, length, service area, required staff, and price book. When evaluating proposed contractors, pay special attention to bonding ability, the management plan, and past performance with other JOC customers.
4. Award contract. Upon award, OGDC will, where reasonable, establish a local office and staff it with experienced personnel. Typically, this project team is able to begin job walks immediately.
5. Identify repair and renovation task orders. Work begins by simply identifying the project, whether it is repairing and replacing a roof, renovating and modernizing dated facilities, or moving temporary buildings into place.
6. Mutually agree on the scope. After performing a job walk of the proposed task, OGDC develops a complete scope as well as a detailed line estimate. This draft is presented to you for approval before work begins. Together, we review the estimate and scope, and then, where necessary, make adjustments in order to meet the available budget.
7. Issue a lump-sum, fixed-price job order. Once the scope and budget are agreed upon, work on the task order begins immediately. OGDC issues tasks to various, pre-qualified local subcontractors.

JOC offers many benefits:

• Increases emergency response capability
• Reduces overall project cost
• Shortens project schedule
• Supports local small business
• Provides incentives for quality performance
• Provides design/build capability
• Allows little or no disruption to your internal consumers
• Provides one contractor to manage rather than multiple contractors
• Fosters a long-term relationship that promotes partnership

Local Business Opportunities: OGDC is sensitive to the opportunities that JOC can bring to the local economy. We subcontract approximately 80 percent of all work through a pool of pre-qualified local subcontractors. OGDC is committed to hiring small and disadvantaged businesses and regularly exceed clients' small business goals by five to twenty percent on every project.

Financial stability: As one of the largest contractors in the country, OGDC can leverage our financial strength to help small local businesses participate in your projects. Our financial position also allows us to keep on-site offices running during periods of less activity, so we are always ready when you need us.
We have the expertise in multiple disciplines of the engineering and construction industry and can draw on those skills to help you achieve your facility's maintenance and construction goals.
