A Job Order Contract (JOC) is the contractual instrument issued by ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY facilities management to the Contractor. The JOC will be, in part, the Contractor’s UPB or time and material estimate of tasks and quantities of labor, material, and equipment to do the work in accordance with the plans and specifications, and project timeline. The JOC is issued and approved upon agreement between the facilities management Representative and the Contractor on the scope of work, performance time, and the price for that work. The individual JOC becomes in effect, a fixed price lump sum Contract for UPB projects, or actual billed time and material (cost plus) not to exceed Contract when the Purchase Order is issued.
