Job Order Contracting requires contractors to submit bids on individual construction tasks based on pre-set unit pricing from a supplied Construction Task Catalog(R) (CTC), there is language in the Construction Task Catalog(R) (CTC) that refers to veritical construction, however this contract does not allow for vertical construction, therefore the language in the CTC, that refers to vertical construction, does not apply to this contract. All unit prices in the CTC are based on local labor rates, material, and equipment prices related to the direct cost of construction. Contractors selected for this program will attend joint scope meetings with the Tollway to look at proposed projects. The Tollway will then prepare a detailed scope of work and issue a request for pricing on the selected task based on the CTC. The General Contractor then prepares a job order price proposal, supplies, drawings and sketches as requested, provides a list of sub-contractors and construction schedule, and supplies other requested documentation. The value of the Job Order Price Proposal is calculated by summing the total of the calculation for each pre-priced task (unit price x quantity x adjustment factor plus the value of any non pre-priced task). If the job order is found to be complete and reasonable, a Job Order Notice To Proceed (NTP) is issued. There are four (4) zones for Roadway. Bidder(s) are not required to bid on all zones.
