(2 year contract that can be extended 2 additional years) • 1 contract per contractor, covering all districts they choose to work. • Multiple JOC contracts to be awarded, which will create a pool of contractors that VTrans may place Job Orders against, in the best interest of the State.
What is JOC? • Contractors will submit equipment and labor rates for the districts in which they wish to work. • Contractors have the ability to add or delete equipment throughout the life of the contract. • Each job order has a maximum limit of $50,000. • All projects are state funds only. • All VTrans Bureaus may place orders against JOCs.

JOC ON-RAMP: • VTrans may issue a RFP to expand the pool of Contractors with Primary Contracts. OFF-RAMP: • Contractors will be evaluated after completion of each Job Order. • Poor performance or chronic lack of availability can lead to contract termination.
JOC Order Bid Form • JOC Order Bid Forms will be sent to the contractor by email. • VTrans may place Job Orders with contractors based upon hourly rates orrequest lump sum pricing. • Hourly Rates Only: VTrans will review JOCs, identify contractors with the equipment type sought, and select the contractor that represents the best value to the State for that Job Order. • Lump Sum Pricing or Materials: VTrans will request at least 3 quotes from JOC holders prior to placing the order with the contractor that represents the best value to the State.
