North Mechanical Streamlines Project Delivery with Gordian

North Mechanical is proud to be a part of Job Order Contracting (JOC). Invented in 1981 to tackle the demanding requirements, tight timeframes, and stringent, complicated competitive-bidding requirements, Job Order Contracting (JOC) is a unique, indefinite quantity procurement process that helps facility and infrastructure owners complete a large number of repair, maintenance, renovation, and straightforward new construction projects with a single, competitively-bid contract. Unlike traditional bidding where each project is identified, designed, and then put out to bid, Job Order Contracting establishes competitively-bid prices up front and eliminates the need to separately bid for each project. This method allows for streamlined project management and cost control, as well as a faster completion time.

Today, more than 1,000 Job Order Contracts are active and account for more than $1.4 billion in construction

Annually. Job Order Contracting is often considered a good approach to construction procurement because it allows for fast and efficient project delivery, cost savings through pre-negotiated pricing, and increased collaboration between the owner, contractor, and other stakeholders. Additionally, it can provide flexibility to accommodate small or emergency repair projects, and reduce the need for multiple rounds of bidding.

Two Special Projects Team members, Dustin Snyder, Project Operations Manager, and Mike Crouse, Director of Special Projects, secured the Job Order Contract with the state for North Mechanical. Any clients that have questions concerning JOC should contact Dustin Snyder dustins@northmechanical.com or Mike Crouse mikec@northmechanical.com.
