Summary: A Professional Services Agreement for Job Order Contracting (JOC) Consultant Services between Cook County Government Countywide and The Gordian Group, Inc., Contract No. 11-28-043 was approved by the Board of Cook County Commissioners on 5/14/2012.
The objective of the JOC program is to provide an alternate procurement method to enable the County to rapidly engage construction project simultaneously.
The request to increase in the amount of $2,500,000.00 is based on the available capacity of the JOC Contractors. The Gordian Group's fee for the services provided is assessed as a percentage of the value of construction procured by the County through the JOC program. The increase requested through this amendment was calculated by the applying The Gordian Group's percent fee against the total value of construction that is available to be purchased by the County through its JOC contracts. The County is under no obligation to expend the amount requested, and is only obligated to pay The Gordian Group's fee when the construction work is procured through the JOC program. This amendment will allow the County to utilize the remaining capacity on the JOC contracts during the contract term.
