The County seeks to award one (1) or more, with a maximum of three (3), Job Order Contracts (JOC) to qualified licensed general contractors to provide for general construction on an as‐needed basis at various Lake County facilities. JOC is a competitively bid, firm fixed priced, indefinite quantity contract. The Work includes a collection of tasks and related specifications that have preestablished unit prices. These tasks and related specifications are included in the Construction Task Catalog®. This Construction Task Catalog® was developed by the County and is based on the use of experienced labor and high‐quality materials. All of the unit prices incorporate prevailing Lake County cost data. The labor prices are based on prevailing wages in the Lake County area, as determined by the Illinois Department of Labor. The CTC® also incorporates local activity, climate and geographic features.

The JOC concept also includes a provision for the establishment of prices for Work requirements which are within the general scope of Work but were not included in the Construction Task Catalog® at the time of Contract award. These
tasks are referred to as "Non‐Pre‐priced Tasks". Non‐Pre‐priced (NPP) Tasks may require the establishment of specifications and drawings and may subsequently be incorporated into the Construction Task Catalog®.

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 $350,000. However, Job Orders in the $500,000 to 900,000 range have also
occurred. Since the implementation of the County’s Job Order Contracting Program, the County has completed over 340 Job Orders.
