<P>The Military Engineer ? No. 66677 Respect, Collaboration and JOC By David C. Carrithers, M.SAME Job order contracting can help military facilities and engineers achieve their goals—from sustainable upgrades to small business requirements—on projects large and small. T he McGraw-Hill 2010 Construction Outlook Report predicts an 11 per- cent increase in the construction market this year. Speci?cally, it predicts that institutional buildings will stabilize, helped by the growing amount of energy- ef?cient system upgrades in federal build- ings and continued strength for military buildings. With this increase in work, mili- tary facilities owners, construction man- agers and engineers need the best tools to effectively reduce project backlogs. Simul- taneously, they need to get project funds into the local economies. One necessary tool is job order contracting (JOC). A pro- fessional JOC program can help military facilities managers and engineers achieve their goals on routine renovation projects as well as large, complicated construction efforts. A JOC program is based on a compet- itively-bid inde?nite delivery-inde?nite quantity (IDIQ) contract between an owner and a JOC construction contractor. The contract typically has a base year with two to four option years. The contract sets parameters such as the types of work that can be done, location of the work, design criteria and maximum amount of work to be awarded. It also has a unit price book that establishes a unit price to be paid for more than 40,000 construction line items. While JOC programs offer many ben- e?ts, its collaborative environment also fosters green solutions and directs funding to the local economy and small, minor- ity and disadvantaged businesses to help owners achieve success. Going Green Unlike new construction, where owners can control the design and construction speci?cations from the beginning, renova- tions often leave many unanswered ques- tions, especially in older buildings that have had multiple alterations and lack original plans. Unknown conditions often create change orders, which increase costs to the owner. Additionally, all federal facilities own- ers, including military facilities, have a clock ticking with the alarm set for 2015. Executive Order 13423 requires agencies to reduce greenhouse gases through a 30 percent reduction in energy intensity at federal facilities by the end of FY15. Fed- eral agencies must ensure that at least half of renewable energy comes from new renewable sources and reduce water con- sumption by two percent annually. JOC allows owners, contractors and subcontractors to collaborate from the beginning to develop plans, speci?cations and requirements for renovation, repair, or construction projects, on time and within budget. For green renovations, stakehold- ers can coordinate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certi- ?cation requirements, review current con- ditions, possible construction concerns A key element of developing a responsive local subcontracting base as part of a JOC program is safety training and safety fairs.
