Delivery Methods
JOC
Allows organizations to get numerous construction projects done quickly and easily through multi-year contracts. JOC reduces unnecessary levels of engineering, design, procurement time and costs by awarding long-term contracts for a wide variety of renovation, repair and construction projects.
Contractors are selected on qualifications and performance at a best value or low bid depending on local, state or federal statutes.
JOC is about performance, reliability, dependability and quality. At the same time, JOC is about results and working within budget and time constraints. The JOC contractor provides “on call” construction services from concept to close-out.
CMAR
Projects which entail commitment by the construction manager to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
The construction manager acts as consultant to the owner in the development and design phases, but as the equivalent of a general contractor during the construction phase. The construction manager must manage and control construction costs to not exceed the GMP.
The Construction management at-risk (CMAR) delivery method is an alternative procurement process similar to long-standing private sector construction contracting.
CM at-risk is a cost effective and time conscious alternative to the traditional design-bid-build process.
Design-Build
Method used to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design–builder or design–build contractor.
Design–build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.
DB with its single point of responsibility carries the clearest contractual remedies for the clients in an attempt to reduce risks and overall costs.
P3 (Public Private Partnership)
A Public-Private Partnership (P3), is a contractual arrangement between a Public Agency (Federal, State or Local) and a Private Sector entity. P3’s are generally structured as design-build-finance-operate-maintain (DBFOM), with concession periods of 15 to 30 years, and sometimes even longer.
This procurement process shifts a great deal of the responsibility for developing and operating transportation infrastructure to private sector partners.
This P3 Partnership allows for improved operational efficiency. The Public Sector provides incentives for the Private Sector to deliver projects on time and within budget.
