Summary: This amendment provides for the second and final of two (2), one (1) year renewal options and increases to the Countywide Job Order Contract (JOC) Program. JOC is a quantity based procurement process that allows facility owners to complete a multitude of repair/maintenance and construction project with a single, competitively bid contract. The JOC process involved first selecting a vendor pool of potential contractors through a competitive procurement process in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code, and identifying projects for such selected vendors. The vendors listed below were found to be the lowest, responsive and responsible bidders.

The County is under no obligation to expend the amount requested, and is only obligated to pay JOC contractors when the construction work is procured through the JOC Program. The amendment will allow the County to extend the utilization of JOC contracts to facilitate all departments’ upcoming projects.
