Title
Committee update regarding the use of Job Order Contracting (JOC) and proposed changes to the policies and procedures for the Project Guideline and Project Development Protocol.
Staff Summary
* JOC has been utilized by Lake County since 2009 to accomplish small to medium sized projects with a typical job order value within the range of $10,000 to $250,000.
* JOC is a competitively bid, fixed price, and indefinite quantity contract; work includes a collection of tasks and related specifications that have pre-established unit prices that are included in the Construction Task Catalog (CTC) developed for the County.
* Lake County established an internal policy for JOC Project Guideline and Project Development Protocol in 2009 that identified a threshold of $250,000 at which the County Board Chair should be advised of projects anticipated to exceed threshold.
* With the impending third renewal of the JOC Program, staff has re-evaluated the Project Guideline and Project Development Protocol and is recommending the following changes:
o provide a listing of proposed JOC projects for each fiscal year as part of the annual budget process; and
o establish a threshold of $350,000 at which the Financial and Administrative Committee will be advised of projects anticipated to exceed threshold; and
o implement standard operating procedures for monitoring compliance with the Illinois Prevailing Wage Law.
