Job Order Contracting
Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an on-call construction services contract where construction work and performance is determined by issuing Work Orders with the contractor during a fixed period of time. In the Invitation for Bid (IFB), contractors competitively bid based on their Adjustment Factors on each item listed in the Fixed Unit Price List; this Stipulated Unit Price will be used to price all Work Orders. The Department awards the JOC Master Agreement to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A JOC Master Agreement is 12-months with the option of extending for up to two 12-month periods. Work Orders are then issued as an individual construction contract, which identify specific location(s) and items of work.
You may find various documents and information developed by Caltrans to implement JOC on this webpage. These documents and information are subject to modification.
