Every JOC program is unique in its own way, but all successful programs follow a few best practices that maximize the output of the procurement office, support the efforts of the facilities team and enhance the user experience. Work With The JOC Experts What is Job Order Contracting? Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction project delivery method that can help project owners reduce the time to construction and supplement their in-house staff. Instead of preparing bid documents and enduring the time-consuming process of putting every individual construction project out to bid, JOC empowers owners to complete many projects with one competitively-awarded contract that satisfies local procurement statutes. Perhaps best of all, JOC establishes prices for construction Tasks up front, ensuring owners maintain budget control. JOC has its own terminology. If you're unfamiliar with any of the language, check out our JOC glossary. Gordian is here to help put these JOC best practices into place for your program. Work With The JOC Experts JOB ORDER CONTRACTING BEST PRACTICE Use a Procurement-Specific Unit Price Book At the heart of every Job Order Contracting program lies a collection of verified construction costs known as the Unit Price Book (UPB). The UPB is what makes JOC work.

FHWA estimates that over the next decade, implementation of the IFR will save roughly one million man-hours and nearly $40 million in administrative costs. That means transportation agencies can get more work done with fewer resources. Speak with a JOC Professional {"@context":"https://schema. org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://www. gordian. com/solutions/industry/state-local/federal-highway-administration-fhwa/","mainEntity":} Who is eligible to use Federal-aid Highway funding to implement a JOC program? Any recipient of Federal-aid Highway funds is eligible to set up a program without requiring special approval through the Special Experimental Projects 14 (SEP-14) program. What are the benefits of Job Order Contracting for transportation projects? After more than a decade of study, FHWA determined that the benefits of JOC and other IDIQ contracting methods include, “expediting project delivery, increasing administrative efficiency, reducing project costs, and increasing flexibility. ” When did the IFR take effect?

The proprietor chooses a contractor, often the one with the lowest bid, and establishes a master contract that specifies the maximum time frame and financial limit. Key Points: Definition and Core Concept of Job Order Contracting (JOC): JOC is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction project delivery method. It allows organizations to complete multiple projects under a single, competitively-awarded contract, eliminating the need for separate bids for each job. This streamlines procurement and ensures compliance with local statutes while maintaining budget control through pre-established pricing. Key Benefits of JOC: JOC enhances efficiency, reduces administrative overhead and fosters collaborative relationships between owners and contractors. It provides cost transparency via a Unit Price Book (UPB), enabling predictable budgeting and fewer disputes. These features make JOC ideal for managing recurring or small-to-medium-sized construction projects. Ideal Use Cases and Process Overview: JOC is especially beneficial for public sector entities, educational institutions, healthcare facilities and transportation authorities. The process includes launching a bid, establishing a master agreement, identifying projects, developing task orders, procuring subcontractors and managing project execution — all under a unified, efficient framework. Learn what is Job Order Contracting from the Job Order Contracting (JOC) Basics Series, which will provide a thorough introduction to this project delivery method. Topics in this series include benefits of JOC for contractors, facilities leaders, procurement leaders and local communities. We'll also cover options for accessing a Job Order Contract, what makes an ideal JOC project and how to find a best-in-class Job Order Contracting provider.

Find out why Job Order Contracting (JOC) is considered an effective tool for project delivery in a crisis. Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an efficient and flexible construction procurement method that enables organizations to complete many projects with one competitively awarded contract. Responsible for tens of thousands of projects and $4 billion in construction volume every year, Gordian’s Job Order Contracting solutions are the go-to delivery method for various types of work. In this post, we’ll look at several examples of why JOC is an effective vehicle for emergency construction projects. County of Monterey Flood Debris Clean Up Rainstorms pummeled the County of Monterey, breaching levees outside the Pajaro community. Rampant flooding devastated the area, engulfing homes, businesses and vehicles. Before the flooding completely receded, county officials, law enforcement, members of the California Office of Emergency Services and Gordian representatives were on site to assess the damage. They quickly went to work collaborating on a course of action. Given that time was of the essence, county leaders opted to respond to the crisis with Gordian’s Job Order Contracting. This was a natural choice for two reasons. One reason is that the County of Monterey and Gordian have had a long, successful partnership dating back to 2013. The other is that JOC is predicated on preset, verified construction costs, eliminating the price spikes typically associated with emergency construction. As Monterey County Interim Chief of Facilities Florence Kabwasa-Green explained, the work in Pajaro, “Confirmed the benefits of having pre-existing competitively bid contractors and the means and methods in place to respond to emergency events. ” Teamwork was key to successful... --- - Published: 2025-06-30 - Modified: 2025-07-01 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/joc-program-mangement-software-benefits/ - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: A/E/C, Data, Trends & Insights, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, Procurement, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Discover how JOC program management software enhances security, efficiency and transparency in construction projects.

Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an efficient and flexible construction procurement method that enables organizations to complete many projects with a single, competitively awarded contract. Responsible for tens of thousands of projects and $4 billion in construction volume every year, Gordian’s Job Order Contracting solutions are the go-to delivery method for various types of work. In this post, we’ll look at how JOC has been used successfully for school renovation and construction, both on higher education campuses and in K-12 facilities. Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) Enhances Accessibility In late June of 2023, Hawaii Department of Education (HIDOE) officials were notified of a newly enrolled middle school student who uses a wheelchair. The department quickly conducted an accounting of all sidewalks and discovered that those surrounding Waialua High and Intermediate School were too narrow to accommodate a wheelchair when classroom doors were open. School leaders took immediate action to rectify the situation and provide the incoming student with every opportunity to succeed by accessing a Gordian JOC program to widen the sidewalks before the academic year began. Not only did the project wrap up on time, but it also came in $11,000 under budget. Los Lunas Schools Shores Up Campus Security Following the COVID-19 pandemic, New Mexico’s Los Lunas Schools completed a run of construction projects to secure campus access points, decrease the number of high-touch surfaces and improve air quality.

Key Points: Four Key Phases of Bidding: The construction bidding process includes Bid Solicitation, Bid Submission, Bid Selection and Contract Formation. Each phase requires precision — from reviewing project requirements and specs to submitting accurate cost estimates and ensuring legal protections like bid bonds. Project Delivery Methods Matter: Understanding various delivery methods like Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B), Design-Build (D-B), Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) and Job Order Contracting (JOC) is critical. Each method influences timelines, responsibilities and contractor involvement, affecting how bids are prepared and projects are executed. Strategy + Standards = Competitive Edge: With win rates typically between 4:1 and 6:1, mastering the bidding process involves strategic thinking, bid leveling and using accurate cost data. General contractors and subcontractors must become experts at the construction bidding process if their businesses are going to thrive. While a variety of industry sources place the average win rate somewhere between 4:1 and 6:1, there can always be room for improvement. Improving bid win rate requires a thorough understanding of each phase of a complex process, attention to detail and strategic thinking. This post dives deep into every aspect of construction bidding to help you put more projects in the pipeline. 4 Phases of the Construction Bidding Process 1. Bid Solicitation Project owners kickstart the construction bidding process by soliciting bids from contractors via an Invitation for Bid (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ) or a Request for Proposal (RFP).

Objective data and strategic planning can help secure financial resources despite federal budget cuts. Key Points: Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) Provides Objective Data for Funding Justification: An FCA is a comprehensive evaluation of a facility’s physical condition, identifying deterioration, repair needs and long-term investment requirements. This objective, third-party data is crucial for agencies and military installations to justify infrastructure funding amid budget scrutiny. Capital Plans Translate FCA Data into Strategic, Budget-Aligned Roadmaps: A capital plan prioritizes facility needs based on urgency, lifecycle and sustainability, aligning them with federal budget cycles. This structured approach demonstrates fiscal responsibility and ensures that critical infrastructure needs are addressed first, improving the likelihood of funding approval. FCA-Backed Plans Strengthen Advocacy With Leadership and Decision-Makers: Agencies can enhance their funding proposals by quantifying financial impacts, emphasizing mission readiness and safety, aligning with federal priorities and using visual data from FCA reports. Even in the face of budget cuts, these plans help determine which projects to preserve or defer based on objective criteria. It’s no secret that agencies and military installations are facing increasing pressure to justify their funding needs. Seemingly every line item in the budget is being scrutinized under the lens of reducing spending and maximizing efficiency. Those without solid, objective data backing their spending are at risk of losing financial support for critical infrastructure and facilities upgrades in the next budget cycle. This is where a Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) backed capital plan comes in. By providing clear, measurable data on where funding is needed and translating those needs into an actionable timeline, agencies can significantly improve their... --- - Published: 2025-06-09 - Modified: 2025-06-09 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/timely-execution-addressing-critical-construction-needs-in-schools/ - Resource Type: Interview - Resource Topic: Data, Trends & Insights, K-12, Maintenance & Operations - Resource Author: Gordian James FlanaganRegional Director, NortheastGordian Nate TillmanContract Administration Manager, Program Design & ContractsGordian What challenges do districts face when they need major renovations or repairs done immediately, but they aren't enough to constitute an emergency? James Flanagan: Emergency projects are those that pose a significant threat to life, health, property and the environment. Most schools already have Emergency Action Plans in place to address those needs. We’ve found that most schools typically struggle to complete work quickly when the project is not necessarily an emergency, but still requires an urgent response. We call these Immediate Response Projects – and they are time-sensitive, high priority projects where a rapid procurement process is essential for successful completion. Nate Tillman: A challenge we often see is school districts have limited in-house staff, which hinders the ability to complete projects on time. Another challenge facing district officials is having to comply with strict local procurement laws, which may require schools to go out and bid publicly or obtain a minimum of three independent quotes – lengthening the time to procure. Also, schools generally prefer to do construction when students are not in session, which obviously creates another layer of difficulties and pressure. Flanagan: I’d also add that there can be political pressure from the school or community to complete a project in a rigid timeframe. What types of situations require immediate responses? Flanagan: An Immediate Response Project can include installing AC units during summer break before classes start in September, athletic field upgrades before the... --- - Published: 2025-06-04 - Modified: 2025-06-12 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/navigating-healthcare-mergers/ - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: Data, Trends & Insights, Healthcare - Resource Author: Gordian Merging healthcare systems?

One way to build confidence in their planning processes and make smart long-term decisions is to conduct a facility condition assessment, or FCA. Facilities capital planning is one of the most important and one of the most complex exercises an organization engages in. Don’t take our word for it. A Gordian-sponsored survey of facilities leaders revealed just how daunting those tasked with facilities capital planning find the process. 70% of respondents told us they are challenged to balance day-to-day needs with long-term organizational goals. 48% struggle to achieve budget approval. 35% have difficulty prioritizing projects, 33% say that have difficulty communicating facilities needs to other stakeholders and 31% are challenged to gather the data to make informed decisions. A Gordian/Facility Executive survey of facilities leaders identified these challenges: If you zoom out from these survey results, it is plain to see that facilities leaders are not confident in their ability to create a multi-year facility capital plan. One way organizations can build confidence in their planning processes and make smart long-term decisions is to conduct a facility condition assessment, or FCA. What is a Facility Condition Assessment? Put simply, an FCA is a technical assessment that measures the condition and functionality of all the assets in an organization’s facilities portfolio. This assessment is largely concerned with major building systems – think HVAC, plumbing and electrical – but includes all physical components from the foundation to the roof and everything in between. This detailed inventory includes an assessment of an organization’s facilities infrastructure and any other physical assets that require funding to maintain.

Key Points: What is a Unit Price Book (UPB) in Job Order Contracting (JOC)? A Unit Price Book is a comprehensive catalog of pre-priced construction tasks, including labor, materials, equipment, and demolition. In JOC, contractors bid a single adjustment factor applied to this book, streamlining procurement and ensuring consistent, transparent pricing across projects. Why Use a Procurement-Specific UPB? A procurement-specific UPB is tailored for construction procurement, not just estimating. It includes all-in costs, detailed product specifications, and references to industry standards or model numbers. This ensures accuracy, fairness, and clarity for both project owners and contractors. Best Practices for Effective JOC ImplementationTo ensure success, the UPB should reflect localized pricing, be independently verified, and include modifiers for quantity and scope variations. This level of detail supports fair market pricing, improves contractor profitability, and enhances owner confidence in project budgeting. Gordian has been implementing and overseeing Job Order Contracting (JOC) programs for over thirty-five years. In that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a program successful. We’re sharing that knowledge with you in a series of blog posts to help you achieve as much as possible with JOC. The first best practice that warrants discussion, the one thing all top-tier JOC programs have in common, is using a unit price book built exclusively for construction procurement.  We'll dig into what that means after covering the basic facts of Job Order Contracting.

Gordian offers several types of Job Order Contracts for project owners to consider. Key Points: What is a Job Order Contract (JOC)? A Job Order Contract is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction procurement method that allows multiple projects to be completed under a single, competitively awarded contract. Instead of bidding each project separately, contractors bid an Adjustment Factor applied to a Construction Task Catalog® (CTC)—a detailed, locally priced Unit Price Book. Types of Gordian JOC SolutionsGordian offers three tailored JOC models: Managed JOC: Includes a custom CTC and a structured five-step delivery process. Cooperative JOC: Uses existing cooperative purchasing networks for faster implementation. Self-Managed JOC: Gives experienced owners the tools to manage their own programs with Gordian’s support.

Gordian offers a variety of Job Order Contracts that may or may not be appropriate for a given project, based on several factors about both the nature... --- - Published: 2025-05-22 - Modified: 2025-05-22 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/job-order-contracting-2025/ - Post Tag: Most Popular - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: A/E/C, Data, Trends & Insights, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, Procurement, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Job Order Contracting (JOC) is a streamlined construction procurement method that allows for efficient, flexible and cost-effective project management. Introduction to Job Order Contracting Job Order Contracting (JOC) is a highly efficient and flexible construction procurement method commonly used in the public sector. JOC enables organizations to complete many projects with a single, competitively awarded contract. This streamlined approach is particularly beneficial for operational projects like renovations, repairs and maintenance, and straightforward new construction that requires little, if any, design work. JOC is proven to save time and money, reduce administrative burdens and improve the quality and speed of project delivery. What is Job Order Contracting? Basic Principles of JOC Job Order Contracting is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction procurement method where contractors are selected to perform an undetermined number of projects at unknown times. Instead of bidding on each project individually, contractors bid on a set of pre-defined tasks listed in a Unit Price Book (UPB). Many UPBs use national average pricing for materials, equipment and labor. In contrast, Gordian’s Job Order Contracting programs use local pricing researched and confirmed by a team of cost engineers and construction experts. The difference in specificity is why Gordian’s UPB is known as the Construction Task Catalog® (or CTC) for short. In a Gordian JOC program, the contractor's bid includes Adjustment Factors or multipliers they apply to the prices listed in the CTC, which are then used to calculate the cost of individual job orders. Effectively a market adjustment, the Adjustment Factor covers the contractor’s overhead and profit. History and Evolution of JOC Gordian founder Harry H. Mellon created... --- - Published: 2025-05-20 - Modified: 2025-06-12 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/managing-healthcare-facilities-in-2025/ - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: Data, Trends & Insights, Healthcare, Maintenance & Operations, Planning, Procurement - Resource Author: Mark Kenneday, Director Market Strategy and Development, Healthcare Managing healthcare facilities: It’s time for facility managers to move to a new model for health facility management, where facilities data is important for more than just regulatory compliance. Key Points: The Challenge: Doing Less with LessIn 2025, healthcare facility managers face rising construction costs, tighter budgets, and increasing regulatory demands. The traditional “do more with less” mindset has shifted to “do less with less,” forcing teams to stretch limited resources while maintaining safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. The Solution: Data-Driven Facility ManagementThe blog emphasizes the need to move beyond using the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) solely for compliance. Instead, facilities data should be leveraged for strategic capital planning, enabling better decision-making, prioritization of investments, and alignment with institutional goals. The Opportunity: Uniting PDC and O&M TeamsA key takeaway is the importance of bridging the gap between Planning, Design, and Construction (PDC) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) teams. By aligning their efforts and using shared data tools, healthcare organizations can improve collaboration, reduce inefficiencies, and ensure long-term facility sustainability. So far in 2025, we’ve seen the price of eggs skyrocket, economic uncertainty, construction costs for health facilities continuing to climb by double digits, and if that wasn’t enough chaos, facilities budgets remain easy prey for budget cuts. The most confounding issue is that current funding hasn’t kept up with decline, creating decades-long reductions in net asset values of these critical components of municipal infrastructure, the nation’s health facilities. The message to do more with less (i. e. more productivity with less resources) has evolved to do less with less. Facilities professionals are working tirelessly to have less waste while expending less resources.

JOC streamlines project delivery, saving time, while maintaining high standards of quality. Take a look at the advantages of JOC via cooperative contracts. Key Points: What is Cooperative Job Order Contracting (JOC)? Cooperative JOC—also known as ezIQC®—is a construction procurement method that allows organizations to access pre-bid, competitively awarded contracts through purchasing cooperatives, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), or interlocal agreements. This model eliminates the need for individual bidding on each project, significantly reducing procurement time and administrative burden. Key Benefits for Owners and ContractorsCooperative JOC offers preset pricing, performance-based contracting, and faster project delivery—often cutting procurement time by up to 25%. It ensures fair pricing through a Construction Task Catalog® (CTC) and incentivizes high-quality work by linking future opportunities to contractor performance, fostering collaboration and accountability. Why It’s Valuable for CommunitiesBy streamlining procurement and enabling quicker starts, Cooperative JOC helps public agencies and institutions address routine and urgent construction needs efficiently. It supports local economies by engaging qualified local contractors and ensures compliance with public procurement laws while maintaining high standards of quality and transparency. Fast-Tracking Project Delivery Job Order Contracting (JOC) is a construction procurement method that expedites project delivery by allowing a multitude of work to be done using one competitively awarded contract. This innovative, single-solicitation approach saves significant time in the procurement process, up to 25% according to a report by NIGP and Gordian. This efficiency is the primary value of Job Order Contracting, and a major reason Gordian JOC was trusted with $4 billion of construction work in 2024 alone.

Key Points: What is Utility Infrastructure and Why It Matters? Utility infrastructure includes essential systems like water, sewer, gas, electrical, and steam lines that support facility operations. These systems are often underground and aging, making them difficult to monitor and maintain. Failure to address them proactively can lead to costly disruptions, safety hazards, and regulatory non-compliance. Challenges in Managing Utility InfrastructureFacilities teams often lack accurate documentation, real-time condition data, and dedicated funding for utility systems. These challenges make it hard to prioritize repairs or justify investments. The blog emphasizes the need for asset-level data and condition assessments to support informed decision-making and long-term planning. Solutions for Proactive Utility ManagementGordian recommends using Facility Condition Assessments (FCAs) and GIS mapping tools to locate, evaluate, and plan for utility infrastructure needs. By integrating these tools with capital planning strategies, facilities teams can reduce risk, extend asset life, and ensure uninterrupted service delivery. 2025 ASCE Report Card: Utility Infrastructure Published every four years by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Report Card for America’s Infrastructure assigns letter grades to over a dozen categories of U.

Measuring facilities management practices involves looking at any number of Key Performance Indicators. Facilities Management KPIs Every Organization Should Measure Thorough facilities management resembles savvy financial management in the sense that it requires vigilant monitoring of performance. That’s where the comparison between facilities and financial management gets complicated. The performance of a stock portfolio is far easier to read: either the portfolio made money or not. Evaluating the performance of a facilities portfolio takes more nuance. There’s no one metric to point to, no bottom line. Smart facilities management requires organizations to consider a spectrum of Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs. At Gordian, we like to categorize these facilities management KPIs into space, spend and staff. Space KPIs One of the most common facilities management KPIs is the Facility Condition Index (FCI), a measurement of the “percent bad” within a facility or group of facilities. Because FCI demonstrates how much of an asset needs work, lower FCI indicates better space performance. Wondering about the Facility Condition Index for one of your assets? Estimate it easily with our FCI calculator. The FCI stands in contrast to Net Asset Value (NAV), a measurement of the “percent good” within a facility or group of facilities. Because NAV demonstrates how much of an asset is in good condition, a higher NAV indicates better space performance. Want to get an estimate of your Net Asset Value? Check out our NAV calculator. The best way to measure space KPIs is with a facility condition assessment.

Key Points: What is a Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA)? An FCA is a systematic, on-site evaluation of a facility’s physical condition, including architectural elements, building systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing), and code compliance. It identifies deficiencies, calculates the Facility Condition Index (FCI), and informs both short- and long-term capital planning—making it a proactive tool for asset management. Why FCAs Are Critical for Federal AgenciesWith aging infrastructure, limited budgets, and growing maintenance backlogs, federal agencies face mounting pressure to manage facilities efficiently. FCAs provide data-driven insights that replace guesswork with evidence-based planning, helping agencies prioritize investments, secure funding, and maintain mission-critical operations. Strategic Benefits of FCAsFCAs support risk management, budget forecasting, and regulatory compliance. They create a living database that enables agencies to make informed decisions, optimize limited resources, and align facility investments with long-term strategic goals—ensuring operational continuity and public accountability. Aging infrastructure, constrained federal budgets and mounting maintenance backlogs are putting federal agencies under immense pressure to manage their facilities portfolios with clarity, foresight and precision. These facilities are mission-critical assets that support everything from national defense to healthcare to scientific research. And yet, many agencies are operating with incomplete datasets on their building portfolio, unpredictable funding and limited workforce capacity. Amid these challenges, Facilities Condition Assessments (FCAs) have emerged as one of the most effective, strategic tools federal agencies can deploy to gain clarity, optimize limited resources and ensure mission continuity.

Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an efficient and flexible construction procurement method that enables organizations to complete many projects with a single, competitively awarded contract. Responsible for tens of thousands of projects and $4 billion in construction volume every year, Gordian’s Job Order Contracting solutions are the go-to delivery method for various types of work. In this post, we’ll look at JOC’s success in making the most of fixed or limited budgets. It's common for project owners to account for potential change orders and unforeseen circumstances in their budgets. But that’s not always possible, usually for one of two reasons. The first is simple: The money just isn’t there. Organizations don’t always have the financial margin for contingencies; sometimes, there isn’t a rainy-day fund to borrow from. The second reason construction must stay within given budget parameters is that the work is being funded by a grant or a gift that owners can’t exceed. JOC's Success With Fixed Budget Projects City of Victorville Builds State-of-the-Art Facility With Grant Funding Using a $28 million Homekey grant via the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the City of Victorville built a campus delivering wraparound services for the local unhoused population. Given that the funds had to be expended within eight months of being awarded, city officials needed to act urgently to put the grant into action.

Key Points: Travel Infrastructure Grades Remain Stagnant: According to the 2025 ASCE Report Card, key travel infrastructure sectors like aviation and bridges maintained their previous grades (D+ for aviation, C for bridges), indicating limited progress. Despite increased funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), systemic issues like aging assets and capacity constraints persist. Capacity and Funding Gaps Are Critical Challenges: Aviation infrastructure faces a projected $114 billion funding gap over the next decade, with 11 major airports expected to be capacity-constrained by 2028. Similarly, while bridge conditions have slightly improved, the average bridge is nearing the end of its 50-year lifespan, highlighting the need for sustained investment. Strategic Investment Is Essential for Resilience: The blog emphasizes the importance of proactive maintenance and smart capital planning to extend asset life and reduce long-term costs. Tools like Gordian’s data-driven solutions help prioritize infrastructure projects, ensuring that limited funds are used effectively to enhance safety, efficiency, and traveler experience. 2025 ASCE Report Card: Travel Infrastructure Published every four years by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Report Card for America’s Infrastructure assigns letter grades to over a dozen categories of U. S. infrastructure, from aviation to wastewater. The ASCE released its latest report card in March of 2025, along with new analysis and suggestions for improving infrastructure assets and, by extension, communities. We grouped the grades into related categories to recap the ASCE’s most recent findings, compare grades with the previous report card, and add our own insights and... --- - Published: 2025-04-10 - Modified: 2025-04-10 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/facilities-capital-planning-resources/ - Resource Type: Resource Hub - Resource Topic: Planning, A/E/C, Data, Trends & Insights, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Successful facilities capital planning enable organizations to optimize their physical assets for long-term success while maximizing resources.

Key Points: Understand and Optimize Your Adjustment Factor: In Job Order Contracting (JOC) — an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction procurement method — contractors bid using an Adjustment Factor, a cost multiplier applied to a preset Unit Price Book. This factor includes overhead, profit and risk considerations. Getting it right is crucial, as it determines competitiveness and profitability across all task orders under the contract. Think Long-Term and Build Strong Owner Relationships: Successful JOC contractors treat the contract as a program, not a one-off project. Prioritizing quality, collaboration and cost-effective solutions — especially during Joint Scope Meetings — helps build trust with owners. This leads to more project opportunities and long-term success through repeat work and stronger partnerships. Leverage Cooperative Contracts, Supplier Networks and Data Analytics: Contractors can expand opportunities by bidding through cooperative purchasing associations and maintaining strong supplier relationships to ensure efficient material procurement. Additionally, using data analytics from past projects helps improve forecasting, resource allocation and overall project performance. Over the years, Gordian’s Job Order Contracting (JOC) has emerged as a powerful project delivery method. Among project owners this efficient process is known for streamlining construction procurement and accelerating project timelines. Among construction contractors, JOC provides a way to stand out from the competition and put more projects in the pipeline. Whether you’re a current Gordian JOC contractor or plan to bid on a Job Order Contract soon, staying up to date with best practices is essential.

But these contracts can actually improve construction procurement and save money. Key Points: Cooperative JOC Is a Competitive, Compliant Procurement Method: Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction delivery method that accelerates project timelines by using a single competitively awarded contract. Cooperative JOC, also known as ezIQC®, is accessed through purchasing co-ops or group purchasing organizations and meets all competitive bidding requirements, with contractors bidding an Adjustment Factor based on a standardized Construction Task Catalog (CTC). Cooperative JOC Can Be Used with Federal and Grant Funding: Contrary to myths, Cooperative JOC is eligible for use with federal and grant-funded projects, provided procurement guidelines are followed. Local Contractors Can and Do Participate in Cooperative JOC: Another misconception is that Cooperative JOC excludes local contractors. In reality, local contractors are encouraged to bid, and Gordian actively supports their participation through educational sessions and outreach. This inclusive approach helps ensure that Cooperative JOC benefits both project owners and local construction communities. In 2024, more than 46,000 construction projects were completed using Gordian’s Job Order Contracting solutions. Just under 11,000 of those, approximately 24%, were completed using Cooperative JOC, also known as ezIQC®. Despite the success of organizations across North America, there are still misconceptions and misgivings about accessing construction contracts like Cooperative JOC via co-ops and group purchasing organizations. In this post, we’ll clear up the confusion and bust the myths associated with this construction procurement method. Let’s start by level-setting a few basic pieces of information.

Let Author John Timmerman know! As the inventor and leading practitioner of Job Order Contracting (JOC), Gordian has quite literally spent decades espousing the virtues of this alternative procurement method to facility owners and operators. With JOC, owners benefit not only from the time savings of getting work done sooner but also from significant reductions in administrative effort afforded by our assistance with Scope of Work (SOW) creation, contractor recruitment/solicitation and proposal review. Our solution provides a portal for owners to directly engage with their contractors to track work being performed. The value of this portal is immense to owners trying to manage multiple contracts and contractors at the same time. However, the potential value of a portal for contractors is even more impressive. As part of a broader market research project, in the past 12 months, Gordian product teams have interviewed over 200 contractors to discuss pain points in the procurement process and the value of a portal to facilitate communication between owners and contractors. Here is what these contractors are telling us they want and need from a construction procurement portal: “Help me generate competitive/profitable leads” – I want to know who has projects going out to bid, who is spending and on what. If I know which projects are being planned, I can align my specialties to get profitable leads in my pipeline that also strategically optimizes the availability of bench of employees and subcontractors. “Help me manage payments” – I want a simple way to manage payments for multiple contracts with... --- > The Job Order Contracting 101 video playlist covers everything you need to know about Gordian's Construction Procurement Solutions.

These tariffs create ripple effects throughout the supply chain, leading to unpredictable price increases and sourcing challenges. Labor Shortages and Regulatory Shifts Add Pressure: Persistent labor shortages and evolving regulations continue to challenge the construction industry. Firms must adapt to these constraints while managing rising costs and maintaining project timelines, making workforce planning and compliance more critical than ever. Strategic Cost Management Is Crucial in 2025: With fluctuating interest rates and shifting demand, construction firms are urged to adopt data-driven strategies to manage costs. Gordian’s RSMeans™ Data and expert insights help stakeholders forecast trends, optimize procurement, and navigate the complex economic landscape. Every quarter, Gordian lends its expertise to the Construction Cost Insights Report.

Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an efficient and flexible construction procurement method that enables organizations to complete many projects with a single, competitively awarded contract. Responsible for tens of thousands of projects and $4 billion in construction volume every year, Gordian’s Job Order Contracting solutions are the go-to delivery method for various types of work. In this post, we’ll look at JOC’s success with horizontal construction. Horizontal construction refers to work done on or near the ground, where the end result of a project spreads out across a large, low area instead of building skyward. The term is often shorthand for work on roads, bridges, rail and other forms of infrastructure where length is paramount. It may be helpful to think of horizontal construction as building out instead of up. Job Order Contracting Success With Horizontal Construction Emergency Road Repairs Organizations often turn to Gordian’s Job Order Contracting (JOC) for emergency work because it establishes local prices upfront, eliminating the premiums often associated with unexpected construction. This allows them to control costs in their time of need while ensuring a speedy emergency response and high-quality recovery efforts. Here are two prime examples of what makes JOC a unique solution for emergency horizontal construction work. “I believe the JOC contract really was that huge advantage in getting that road open as soon as possible and as safe as possible. ” - Kurt Harris, Environmental Maintenance Engineer, Arizona Department of Transportation When a 200-year monsoon devastated and damaged 24 miles of Route... --- - Published: 2025-03-03 - Modified: 2025-03-03 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/gordian-solutions-building-lifecycle/ - Resource Type: eBook - Resource Topic: Procurement, A/E/C, Design & Estimating, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, Maintenance & Operations, Planning, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Gordian’s accurate insights, robust technology and comprehensive expertise empower organizations to effectively manage the entire building lifecycle.

Learn more about what an FCA entails. - Published: 2025-02-19 - Modified: 2025-06-30 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/why-you-need-a-facilities-condition-assessment/ - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: Healthcare, Maintenance & Operations, Planning - Resource Author: Gordian Learn more about what an FCA entails, why it’s especially important for healthcare settings and how you can convince your organization’s leadership that an FCA is a must-have. Key Points: What Is a Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA)? An FCA is a comprehensive evaluation of a building’s physical condition, including systems like HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural components. It identifies deficiencies, estimates repair or replacement costs, and assesses whether the facility can meet its intended purpose. This data-driven approach supports strategic planning and compliance, especially in complex environments like healthcare. Why Are FCAs Critical for Healthcare Facilities? Healthcare facilities face unique challenges such as aging infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and patient safety. An FCA provides a clear picture of facility needs, enabling proactive maintenance and minimizing costly disruptions. It helps prioritize investments that directly impact patient care and operational efficiency. How Do FCAs Support Financial and Strategic Planning? FCAs help organizations avoid expensive emergency repairs by catching issues early. They also guide budget allocation and capital planning, ensuring funds are used effectively. By offering objective, actionable insights, FCAs remove guesswork and emotion from decision-making, making them essential tools for long-term facility management. When it comes to managing healthcare facilities, the importance of maintaining a safe, functional and efficient environment cannot be overstated. However, ensuring that your facility is up to standard — both in terms of infrastructure and compliance with regulations — requires more than just routine maintenance. It demands a comprehensive understanding of the current condition of your facility (or facilities), which is where a Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) comes in.

Typically associated with finance and company valuations, NAV is also useful for facility management. Key Points: What Is Net Asset Value (NAV) in Facility Management? In this context, NAV measures the “percent good” of a facility or portfolio, reflecting how well assets are maintained. It is calculated as: NAV = (Total Replacement Value − Current Capital Needs ) / Total Replacement Value. A higher NAV indicates a healthier facility. NAV is the counterpart to the Facility Condition Index (FCI), which measures the “percent bad. ” NAV as a Strategic Planning ToolNAV acts as a financial North Star, helping organizations assess risk and prioritize capital investments. For example: 90–100% NAV: “Keep Up” stage – low risk, focus on upkeep. 70–89% NAV: Balanced profile – aging but manageable. 50–69% NAV: “Catch Up” stage – growing risk, more urgent needs. Below 50% NAV: Transitional stage – high risk, reactive spending. Why NAV Matters for Facility ManagersNAV enables data-driven decision-making, helping leaders allocate resources efficiently, reduce emergency repairs, and plan long-term investments. It supports transparency and accountability in facility stewardship, especially in large or aging portfolios. Those who come from the world of investment and finance are probably familiar with Net Asset Value, or NAV. Used to determine the value of a company or an investment fund, NAV is calculated by subtracting liabilities from assets. A version of Net Asset Value also exists in the realm of facility management. While the math is more complex than the NAV of the investment world, the facilities NAV serves as a financial North Star by offering a standardized measure of a... --- > With the immense success of the kitchen renovation project, 27J Schools decided to use Job Order Contracting for new projects. - Published: 2025-02-18 - Modified: 2025-06-24 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/27j-schools-renovates-with-joc/ - Resource Type: Customer Story - Resource Topic: K-12, Maintenance & Operations, Procurement - Resource Author: Gordian With the immense success of the kitchen renovation project, 27J Schools decided to use Job Order Contracting for new projects. Challenge: Colorado School District Has a Full Slate of Summer Construction Projects This experience came in handy in the waning days of 2023, when school leaders identified several projects they wanted to tackle during the following summer break. Work included renovating kitchens at four schools one of which, Northeast Elementary School, provided breakfast and lunch for the children at a neighboring Boys and Girls Club during the summer. Additionally, several classrooms needed complete renovations, the gymnasium required several long-overdue enhancements and the band room could no longer accommodate the 140+ students enrolled in one of the largest programs in Colorado. District leaders had a lot of facility improvements on their plate, including a kitchen renovation that demanded a fast turnaround. They needed a way to hit the ground running once summer began, to start work as soon as possible and complete it without disrupting regular activities.

Musick Facility in unincorporated Orange County, California, realizes a new legacy with the construction of a 330,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, designed to meet the evolving, modern day needs of jail facilities and populations. With a greater emphasis on treatment and rehabilitation, the $350 million project is the result of a partnership amongst various public and private entities. Fast forward to actual construction. As with all building projects, challenges can arise at any stage. While most of the construction had gone as planned, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) began to encounter a variety of issues at the tail end of construction during the “punch” period. During this period, OCSD is allowed to occupy the new facility while the contractor addresses minor fixes – punch items. Large projects can have several thousand punch list items that can take months to complete. As the contractor began downsizing its workforce and subcontractors moved on to other projects, the punch list items began taking longer than anticipated to complete. This slowdown is attributed to multiple factors, including inefficiencies created when subcontractors need to be scheduled to return. Additionally, once a Certificate of Occupancy (COO) is received from the Building Department, change orders can no longer be issued. This is because insurers typically do not provide construction insurance coverage for new work or changes after... --- - Published: 2025-02-05 - Modified: 2025-06-30 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/job-order-contracting-routine-projects/ - Resource Type: Customer Story - Resource Topic: A/E/C, Contractor, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, Procurement, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Job Order Contracting (JOC) is ideal for routine construction projects.

Key Points: Frame and Prioritize Assessment Data for Decision-MakersTraditional Facilities Condition Assessments (FCAs) often produce highly detailed, technical reports that can overwhelm stakeholders. Instead, framing the data at a macro level—focusing on how facility needs align with institutional goals—makes it easier to prioritize investments and secure funding. This strategic framing transforms the FCA into a planning tool, not just a technical document. Balance Technical Detail with Strategic InsightWhile granular data (e. g. , component-level deficiencies) is essential for engineers and contractors, effective FCAs should also highlight big-picture issues like system-wide inefficiencies or aging infrastructure. This dual-level approach helps facility managers advocate for resources by showing how targeted upgrades (e. g. , electrical systems or building envelopes) can yield cost savings and operational improvements. Engage Stakeholders Throughout the ProcessSuccessful FCAs require collaboration with institutional leaders to ensure the findings are understood, actionable, and aligned with strategic priorities. Avoiding overly technical language and involving decision-makers early helps build consensus and ensures that the assessment leads to meaningful improvements. Facilities condition assessments are a critical tool to understand how each element in a building portfolio is performing — and to determine where investments are most needed. While traditional educational facilities assessments provide valuable insights, these technical engineering documents typically have two downfalls. They are either overly complex and become overwhelming lists of problems or they do not consider a district's unique challenges What if we told you that you can deliver a planning tool that institution stakeholders can quickly grasp and act on... --- - Published: 2025-01-09 - Modified: 2025-01-09 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/when-to-use-job-order-contracting/ - Resource Type: Infographic - Resource Topic: Procurement, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, Maintenance & Operations, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Explore the various common types of construction projects completed through Job Order Contracting (JOC).

Challenge: Managing Infrastructure Needs With Maintenance Gaps Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) is a prominent institution that provides critical healthcare services, conducts extensive research and educates healthcare professionals. The university cares for over three million patients annually across its hospitals and clinics — showcasing its significant influence on community health. OHSU excels not only in healthcare services but also in research. The institution's commitment to research is exemplified by its numerous programs and successful acquisition of $600 million dollars in research funding. However, years ago, the university encountered challenges in managing its facilities. A lack of data, constrained budgets and a growing backlog of maintenance issues hindered its ability to address essential repairs. As a result, urgent problems frequently arose, forcing the facilities team to respond reactively rather than strategically plan for long-term needs. This approach not only jeopardized infrastructure integrity but also posed risks to vital operations. “Before Gordian, we didn’t have a great handle on the overall backlog. It was a very short-term battle without a lot of data or vision. ” Chad Sorber, Director of Facilities Services, OHSU Solution: Implementing a Data-Driven Capital Planning Approach Gordian empowered OHSU with comprehensive insights into their facilities through a detailed Facility Condition Assessment (FCA). By leveraging insights from the data, OHSU was able to allocate resources more effectively for critical infrastructures like HVAC, electrical distribution and water systems. Even though the Facilities Condition Index (FCI) that was produced provided a valuable metric, executives were more responsive to hard-dollar figures,... --- - Published: 2024-12-11 - Modified: 2025-06-30 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/construction-costs-q4-2024/ - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: A/E/C, Data, Trends & Insights, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, Planning, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Read this blog post for a recap of the Q4 Construction Cost Insights report, including material and labor market shifts and trends impacting the broader construction industry. Key Points: Material Prices Stabilize, but Risks RemainThe construction materials market reached a temporary equilibrium in Q4 2024, with prices for structural steel and framing lumber declining from previous highs. However, copper and conduit prices are rising due to global demand and supply chain pressures, especially from stimulus-driven construction in China and geopolitical instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Labor Shortages and Natural Disasters Disrupt Regional CostsPersistent labor shortages continue to drive up wages and extend project timelines. Additionally, Hurricanes Helene and Milton disrupted transportation and manufacturing in the southeastern U. S. , particularly North Carolina, causing regional spikes in material and equipment costs. Strategic Forecasting Is Essential for 2025As the industry heads into 2025, construction leaders must prepare for economic policy shifts, volatile global markets, and climate-related disruptions.

Key Points: What Is an Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA)? An IGSA is a formal partnership between government entities that allows one agency to provide services to another on a cost-reimbursable basis. In this case, military installations use IGSAs with Sourcewell to access construction, maintenance, and logistical services through a cooperative purchasing model, bypassing traditional procurement hurdles. Streamlined Procurement for Military ReadinessThe IGSA with Sourcewell enables military bases to skip lengthy procurement steps—like sourcing vendors, soliciting bids, and negotiating contracts—by tapping into a pre-vetted pool of contractors. This dramatically reduces project lead times, helping installations maintain mission readiness and avoid costly delays. Efficiency, Compliance, and Cost SavingsBy leveraging Sourcewell’s contracting infrastructure instead of the traditional Mission Installation Contracting Command (MICC), military facilities benefit from faster project starts, reduced administrative burden, and continued compliance with federal acquisition regulations. This model supports both operational efficiency and fiscal responsibility. Military installations play a crucial role in maintaining national security, and ensuring these facilities are properly constructed, maintained and supported is vital to the success of any mission. In an effort to streamline procurement processes and improve efficiency, the U. S. Army (and more recently, the U. S. Navy) has turned to Sourcewell’s Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA) to enhance construction and maintenance support at installations nationwide. The IGSA with Sourcewell provides personnel at Installation Management Command (IMCOM) facilities with a more effective way to procure construction services, supplies and equipment. By tapping into this cooperative agreement, Army and Navy installations gain access to a pre-vetted... --- - Published: 2024-11-25 - Modified: 2025-06-30 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/construction-procurement/ - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: A/E/C, Federal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12, Procurement, State & Local Government - Resource Author: Gordian Construction procurement is a multi-step process for delivering projects. Beginning with an initial design and ending with a final inspection, the process requires efficient workflows and keen attention to detail. Key Points: What Is Construction Procurement? Construction procurement is the multi-step process of acquiring goods and services for construction projects, including new builds, renovations, and repairs. It goes beyond simple purchasing by encompassing planning, bidding, contracting, and delivery. Unlike “purchasing,” which refers only to the act of buying, procurement involves strategic decision-making to ensure quality, cost-efficiency, and timely delivery. Private vs. Public Sector ProcurementIn the private sector, effective procurement maximizes budgets and timelines, contributing to profitability and growth. In the public sector, procurement is governed by strict regulations to ensure transparency and proper use of taxpayer funds. This oversight can slow down projects but is essential for accountability, especially when building critical infrastructure like schools, roads, and emergency services. Who Manages Procurement and How? Typically, the general contractor (GC) oversees procurement, often delegating tasks to subcontractors with supplier relationships. On large public projects, a dedicated procurement office may handle the process, while smaller projects might rely on a single individual wearing multiple hats. Regardless of scale, successful procurement requires coordination, compliance, and clear communication. Construction procurement is a multi-step process for delivering construction projects, whether they be new builds, gut renovations, simple rehabs, cosmetic upgrades or repairs. People often use the words “procurement” and “purchasing” interchangeably, but they are not the same. Purchasing refers only to paying for goods and services and it is just one step in the construction procurement process. The construction procurement process is complex and important. There are many moving parts and factors influencing project success.... --- - Published: 2024-11-22 - Modified: 2025-06-30 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/idiq-contracts/ - Resource Type: Blog - Resource Topic: Data, Trends & Insights, Federal, Procurement - Resource Author: Gordian Learn the benefits and types of IDIQ contracts to enhance your business opportunities in the competitive government contracting landscape. Key Points: What Are IDIQ Contracts and How Do They Work? : Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts are flexible government procurement tools used when exact quantities and delivery schedules are unknown at the time of award. They allow agencies to issue task orders (for services) or delivery orders (for supplies) as needs arise, within a defined minimum and maximum contract value. This structure supports efficient, on-demand procurement across sectors like IT, construction and research. Types and Benefits of IDIQ Contracts: IDIQ contracts come in single-award (one contractor) and multiple-award (several contractors) formats. Single-award contracts offer consistency, while multiple-award contracts foster competition and innovation. Key benefits include faster procurement, cost savings, reduced administrative burden and support for long-term planning — making them ideal for dynamic or recurring needs. Keys to Success and Common Challenges: To succeed with IDIQ contracts, contractors must understand contract requirements, build strong agency relationships and demonstrate consistent value. Challenges include demand uncertainty, intense competition (especially in multiple-award setups) and strict compliance and reporting obligations. Flexibility in resource management and a proactive approach are essential for thriving in this contracting environment. Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts play a pivotal role in the realm of government contracting. These contracts are designed to provide an efficient and flexible method for the government to procure supplies and services, including construction services. Let’s examine IDIQ contracts, their nuances, their benefits and their application for businesses seeking to navigate the complex terrain of government contracting. What are IDIQ Contracts?

Over the years, Director of Purchasing Gary Kerbow has been tasked with daunting construction projects when helping Hurst Euless Bedford ISD expand. Once, the board of trustees needed a recently acquired building up and running as quickly as possible, but copper thieves had looted the entire infrastructure, requiring extensive rewiring. Another time, Gary had to determine the full scope of repairs when creating offices for new management staff in an existing warehouse space. Most construction veterans would consider these requests near impossible, and they would be if Gary didn’t have certain procedures and tools in place. In this podcast, Gary will speak about the lessons he’s learned from these and other projects at a number of school districts in North Texas. Key Takeaways: What superintendents need to know when assigning similar time-sensitive tasks Best practices for vetting vendors to ensure difficult projects are completed on time When procurement directors need to reconsider where and how they procure critical parts How staffing levels and needs impact renovation/construction projects Ways to innovate the scope of work for all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers  --- - Published: 2024-11-20 - Modified: 2024-12-02 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/resources/program-insight-review-procurement/ - Resource Type: Video - Resource Topic: Data, Trends & Insights, Procurement At Gordian, our dedication to putting customers first drives every innovation and service we offer.

Located on the northern shores of Lake Ontario, the City of Pickering shines as an idyllic place to live, work and play. This sentiment is shared by the many who’ve decided to relocate to the area, which is poised to experience high population growth over the next decade. One of the main advantages of living in Pickering is the city’s exceptional approach to facilities and infrastructure management. Pickering’s journey began with a vision to transform the standard approach of municipal facility operations from a baseline service to one that deals with full lifecycle costing and robust capital planning. This ambitious goal, and its successful development, started with the need to choose a facilities planning solution that fit the city’s current and future needs. Challenge: Navigating the Complexities of Municipal Facility Management for a Growing Community With an expanding population, increasing demands and a diverse portfolio of municipal facilities, Pickering’s leaders identified the need for a comprehensive planning solution. The standard “basic maintenance” approach was insufficient for the city’s growth, adding further pressure to find the right solution in a timely manner. Boasting a population of approximately 100,000, Pickering had a substantial portfolio of facilities that required comprehensive management, including lifecycle costing, full cost of ownership and rigorous capital planning.

Gordian released the 9th edition of the State of Facilities in Higher Education report, which confirms a growing backlog of capital needs and reveals a downturn in operating budgets. Preliminary fiscal year 2021 data shows a year-over-year investment reduction of 19%, as major capital projects were slowed or halted, and recurring stewardship expenditures dipped further. “Across higher education, focused facilities stewardship and capital planning is more critical than ever. The findings from this year’s report further invigorate our mission to help institutions prioritize investments and drive meaningful outcomes within their communities,” says Mark Schiff, President of Gordian. Throughout the report, Gordian’s database research and its expert insights affirm the following trends that are shifting the higher education landscape: Preliminary data warns that the facilities investment shortfall to anticipated demands is approaching 40%, accelerating the deferral of projects necessary to steward the campus. Gordian’s database shows an average need of $105/GSF at the end of FY20. 30% of buildings in the Gordian database are in the 10-25-year age group, and the major systems of many of them will soon reach the end of their lives.

The report indicates that construction project delivery via Job Order Contracting (JOC) requires fewer people and less time compared to other delivery methods. Further, the research confirmed that JOC significantly improves the relationship between project owners and contractors. Gordian, the leading provider of facility and construction cost data, software and expertise, announces the outcome of a partnership with NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement to conduct market research on construction project delivery method challenges and opportunities. The report indicates that construction project delivery via Job Order Contracting (JOC) requires fewer people and less time compared to other delivery methods. Further, the research confirmed that JOC significantly improves the relationship between project owners and contractors. “Gordian’s founder created JOC to simplify the process of completing construction projects, and the outcomes of this research report validate JOC’s clear benefits as a project delivery method,” says Mark Schiff, President of Gordian. “While thousands of projects have been successfully completed through JOC for decades, there is still low awareness within the industry, especially among those who stand to benefit the most from it. We partnered with NIGP on this research to help educate procurement and construction professionals on when and where they should consider JOC as an alternative project delivery method. ” The scope of the research was to better understand construction procurement trends, solicitation activities, and the differences between project delivery methods—with the primary objective of providing preliminary evidence of how JOC performs versus other construction delivery methods. The research also concludes: When using JOC, the transaction costs (i. e. , human, material and capital resources invested) related to issuing the contract are comparable to those in more traditional project delivery methods like Design-Bid-Build, Design Build and Construction Manager at Risk;... --- - Published: 2021-11-02 - Modified: 2021-11-01 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/gordian-releases-2022-rsmeans-data-construction-costs/ Gordian’s 2022 RSMeans data reveals more than 93% of all material, equipment and labor costs have significantly changed over the last 12 months. Gordian, a leader in facility and construction cost data, software and expertise, announces the immediate availability of 2022 RSMeans data. In the past 12 months, more than 93% of all material costs, equipment prices and labor wage rates have experienced a change. Increases have occurred in 71% of equipment prices and 98% of labor wages. 71% of construction material costs have increased, some specific prices rising greater than 50% over 2021 prices and continuing to fluctuate dramatically from quarter to quarter. Gordian has made substantial resource investments to optimize the research process, leading to a 20% year over year increase in price points collected, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the cost data. These ongoing investments and optimized research methodology include: An adjustment to how the database reflects drastic cost increases or decreases from quarter to quarter, more closely mirroring the high inflation or market volatility in some construction material costs. Improvements in the collection of local costs, resulting in enhanced localization. The creation of a new, proprietary algorithm that informs and prioritizes research efforts on the highest value materials, labor and equipment prices. This algorithm enables Gordian to closely examine and prioritize research efforts on the materials that are most frequently used in construction estimates and have historically exhibited the highest price volatility. “Gordian leverages a strong data governance model, ensuring the highest quality product... --- > Gordian accelerates focus in Federal space with addition of Bryan Walter as Vice President and General Manager, Federal Solutions. - Published: 2021-08-30 - Modified: 2021-08-31 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/gordian-accelerates-focus-in-federal-space-with-addition-of-bryan-walter-as-vice-president-and-general-manager-federal-solutions/ Gordian announced today that Bryan Walter joined Gordian’s Executive Team as Vice President and General Manager, Federal Solutions.

Despite these growing challenges, the pandemic has revealed opportunities for colleges and universities to reimagine the kinds of campuses needed for higher education going forward. Gordian partnered with APPA to release the 8th edition of the State of Facilities in Higher Education report, which confirms a growing backlog of capital needs, funding shortfalls and enrollment challenges. Despite these growing challenges, the pandemic has revealed opportunities for colleges and universities to reimagine the kinds of campuses needed for higher education going forward. Throughout the report, the database research and expert insights affirm the following trends that are shifting the higher education landscape: Backlogs of asset renewal need grew several more percentage points through 2019 and are now up to $106/GSF, a 35% increase since 2007. The facilities investment shortfall is approaching 25%. This troubling trend shows no sign of slowing down in years to come as funding is reduced while capital renewal need continues to rise. The percentage of existing buildings in need of renovation — especially those that haven’t been renovated in 10-25 years or more than 50 years — continues to grow even while many institutions have been investing in new facilities. Since 2007, campus space across Gordian’s higher education database has increased 16%, even though enrollment was only up 2% before the sharp decline in the fall of 2020. Gordian’s annual State of Facilities in Higher Education report includes data from 325 higher education institutions in the U.

Gordian’s innovative solution represents a reimagined approach to capital planning that offers more flexibility, is less expensive and delivers value faster than a traditional FCA. Gordian, a leader in facility and construction cost data, software and expertise, announced today the launch of Sightlines Strategic Capital Planning, a reinvented capital planning approach that allows campus leaders to meet strategic needs in less than half the time of a traditional Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA). Sightlines Strategic Capital Planning elevates the traditional FCA beyond a list of deficiencies to create an investment strategy adapted to meet the individual needs of each institution. Gordian’s innovative solution represents a reimagined approach to capital planning that offers more flexibility, is less expensive and delivers value faster than a traditional FCA, helping higher education institutions survive the financial pressures of today. “As 2020 has shown us, the future is inherently uncertain. Plans need to be flexible enough to accommodate various possibilities without breaking down,” explains William L. Pollak, President at Gordian. “By prioritizing and developing the plan around the critical assets first and then assessing buildings as they become relevant to the plan, each dollar gets stretched further. This also empowers the institution to pivot and adjust course as needed. ” Gordian’s solution streamlines the data gathering process by creating an accurate, baseline of institutional facilities needs using a system-level assessment. This assessment is powered by Gordian’s industry-standard RSMeans data and cutting-edge technology, allowing Gordian to perform assessments remotely if needed and at a fraction of the time it takes to complete a traditional on-campus assessment. Gordian then integrates first-hand perspective by gathering knowledge from on-campus trades workers who live in the... --- > Gordian announces two new general management positions to meet the changing needs of our customers in higher education and healthcare. - Published: 2020-06-25 - Modified: 2020-06-25 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/6034/ Gordian, the leading provider of facility and construction cost data, software and expertise, announced today two new general management positions to meet the changing needs of our customers in higher education and healthcare, industries facing unprecedented challenges and changes amplified by COVID-19.

Gordian’s research and compilation of the 7th Edition of the State of Facilities in Higher Education report confirms the continuation of troubling trends. Greenville, SC - Gordian released the 7th edition of the State of Facilities in Higher Education report, which confirms a deepening disconnect between space growth and enrollment trends. Over the last decade campuses have continued to expand at a rate of 8. 5% to 19%, depending on institution type, despite demographic declines in traditional-aged students that are projected to accelerate in 2026 and extend far into the future. The combination of swollen campus footprints and declining tuition revenues has been aggravated even further by the COVID-19 pandemic, putting many institutions at risk for the foreseeable future. Facilities strategies are at the forefront of the industry’s race to confront its greatest challenge in generations. “Current events and trends highlighted in this year’s State of Facilities report will be a catalyst for forward-thinking actions in the rapidly changing higher education environment,” said Pete Zuraw, Vice President of Market Strategy and Development for Gordian. “There has never been a clearer set of signals that now is the time for leaders to reevaluate the future of their institutions. “ Each year, Gordian compiles an extensive amount of information on higher ed campus facilities from its Sightlines database, then releases the findings in the State of Facilities in Higher Education report. The study includes data from 325 higher education institutions in the U.

The City of White Plains will be implementing and supporting its own Gordian Job Order Contracting (JOC) program to provide readily available contractors that can perform quality construction projects at competitive prices. The city has entered into a five-year agreement with Gordian to implement a customized JOC program, allowing a large number of projects to be completed through a single, competitively-awarded contract. Job Order Contracting was created by Gordian’s Founder, Harry H. Mellon. Gordian’s experts develop, implement and support JOC programs that complete more than $2 billion worth of construction work each year. "Gordian is excited to partner with the City of White Plains, New York, to develop a JOC program that both maximizes taxpayer dollars and generates funds for the City. We’re proud to provide comprehensive data, robust software and unmatched industry expertise that helps public servants maximize their resources and complete projects faster for their communities," said William Pollak, President at Gordian.

Guilford, Conn. – The amount of capital investment dedicated to existing campus facilities by North American colleges and universities reached an 11-year high in 2017, according to a new report from Sightlines, a Gordian company and leader in facilities planning and benchmarking analytics. The sixth annual “State of Facilities in Higher Education” report found that total capital investment into existing properties on college campuses reached nearly $5 per gross square foot in 2017. This caps a steady climb that began in 2011 and is the highest figure recorded since 2007. The report is based on comprehensive data collected and analyzed by Sightlines from more than 360 college and university campuses annually, which collectively operate more than 52,000 buildings that serve 3. 5 million students. “Capital investment in existing properties has finally returned to — and even eclipsed — pre-recession levels,” said Mark Schiff, President of Sightlines. “In addition, a larger share of this funding is coming from recurring capital sources, as annual stewardship funds have increased by more than 50 percent from 2007 to 2017. These funds represent a long-term commitment to addressing building renovation needs. Still, the positive trends in capital investment levels and mix of funding are not keeping pace with growing project lists. ” The report also identified a potentially challenging trend for college facilities managers. A deep dive into the ages of existing buildings on hundreds of campuses indicated the coming need for major capital investments. “Higher education has seen two major waves of building construction,... --- > Gordian announces partnership with CERL that its RSMeans Data can now be integrated into the BUILDER™ Sustainment Management System (SMS) catalog. - Published: 2018-08-02 - Modified: 2018-08-31 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/cerl-and-gordian-partner-to-bring-rsmeans-data-to-builder/ Gordian announces that its RSMeans data can now be integrated into the BUILDER™ Sustainment Management System (SMS) catalog. This capability was developed in partnership with the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). Greenville, S. C. – Gordian, the leading provider of facility and construction cost data, software and expertise, announced today that its RSMeans data can now be integrated into the BUILDER™ Sustainment Management System (SMS) catalog. This capability was developed in partnership with the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). BUILDER™ SMS supports the collection and synthesis of information about facility assets to understand their condition and performance and plan for repair, restoration and renovation activities. Department of Defense components are mandated to use the BUILDER™ SMS software application for facility condition assessment, planning and budgeting activities. Multiple civilian federal government agencies, as well as municipal governments and private industries, are also adopting the technology. “The IDA Science and Technology Institute, in a recent report, identified the need for accurate and up-to-date reference costs as a primary ingredient for successful implementation of BUILDER™ SMS,” said William Pollak, President of Gordian. “RSMeans data is already the cost basis for much of the pre-construction work among BUILDER™ SMS users, so integrating our data with this emerging asset management tool is a huge advantage. ” The CRADA enabled Gordian to partner with CERL, part of the U. S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, to contribute their own research and development efforts consistent with the Federal agency's mission. Gordian Cost Engineers invested more than six months and thousands of labor hours into mapping RSMeans data to the BUILDER™ SMS task catalog.

The advanced predictive technology delivers accurate, location-specific costs for more than 100 different types of construction projects up to three years into the future. The foundation of Predictive Cost Data is more than 10 billion data points from 15 years of historical RSMeans data. Gordian’s Data Scientists applied advanced analytics with more than one thousand indexes, including government indexes and information from data aggregator, Moody’s. Through a rigorous statistical program, a unique algorithm was produced for each material and labor segment, such as steel, wood and concrete. Thorough back testing from the last 10 years resulted in an unparalleled accuracy of three percent to actual cost indexes. “Most of the tools available today make it difficult to plan and budget for future construction, especially more than one year out,” said Noam Reininger, Gordian’s Chief Data Officer. “Going forward, you no longer have to plan tomorrow’s project with yesterday’s data because our Predictive Cost Data has accuracy these previous methods lack. It is a game changer. ” For more than 75 years, RSMeans data from Gordian has been the leader for construction cost data, and the predictive technology provides the capability to effectively plan and estimate future construction projects. Until this point, owners and construction executives had few options outside of relying on current and historical costs, their own experience and studying... --- > Fortive has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Gordian, a leading provider of construction cost data, software and service. - Published: 2018-07-02 - Modified: 2018-08-31 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/fortive-enters-into-an-agreement-to-acquire-gordian/ Fortive has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Gordian.

C. – Gordian, the leading provider of facility and construction cost data, software and expertise, announced today Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) received the 2017 Harry H. Mellon Award of Excellence in Job Order Contracting for repairs to the Rockville Road Bridge over I-465. The honor for exemplary use of Job Order Contracting included recognition of both INDOT and local contractor Rieth-Riley Construction Co. due to the special circumstances surrounding the $1. 3 million project. On Jan. 10, 2017, a mobile car crusher crashed into the Rockville Road Bridge, destroying four of the 14 load-bearing girders. The bridge carried a main artery into town from the west side of Indianapolis – specifically into the portion of town where the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is located. With the added pressure of the rapidly approaching Indianapolis 500, urgent repairs were a necessity. INDOT realized this was an opportunity to utilize their Job Order Contracting (JOC) program designed specifically for high-priority bridge repairs beyond what can typically be performed by in-house maintenance staff. The awarded JOC contractor, Rieth Riley Construction Co. , responded that same day to begin demolition and re-route traffic over the undamaged section of the bridge. The replacement beams were ready within two months, and deck reconstruction, bridge wall replacement and traffic striping were completed ahead of schedule. Due to JOC’s streamlined process, the repairs were completed in less than half the time of INDOT’s standard project sequence. Additionally, JOC’s pre-established pricing removed the risk of paying a premium... --- > Sightlines adds Integrated Facilities Program to support small colleges and universities with comprehensive facilities intelligence. - Published: 2018-04-17 - Modified: 2020-05-14 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/sightlines-introduces-integrated-facilities-program-for-small-campuses/ Sightlines, a Gordian company and leader in facilities planning, benchmarking and analysis for higher education institutions, announced today its addition of the Integrated Facilities Program to support small colleges and universities with comprehensive facilities intelligence. Guilford, Conn. – Sightlines, a Gordian company and leader in facilities planning, benchmarking and analysis for higher education institutions, announced today its addition of the Integrated Facilities Program to support small colleges and universities with comprehensive facilities intelligence. While most higher education institutions have similar challenges around aging facilities and/or limited funding, research shows small campuses are also facing stagnant enrollments, falling capital investments and increasing operating costs. For smaller colleges and universities with fewer available resources, the effects of these challenges can be much greater. Designed specifically for campuses under one million gross square feet (GSF), Sightlines’ Integrated Facilities Program unites discussions around space, capital and operations needs with dynamic data, analytical tools, benchmarking context and ongoing strategic support. This approach helps campuses identify tactical opportunities to better align facilities investments with institutional mission. “We partner with institutions of all sizes across the nation, and while they all face challenges around space management, deferred maintenance and funding, those with fewer resources have a much smaller margin of error,” said Mark Schiff, president of Sightlines, a Gordian company. “We’ve developed our Integrated Facilities Program to specifically help campuses under one million GSF better align facilities initiatives with strategic priorities. ” The Integrated Facilities Program helps small campuses maximize resources with a 360 degree view of facilities needs and opportunities by delivering: an integrated, objective view of campus facilities performance and conditions optimization of campus space coupled with an understanding of how the space profile impacts capital and operations strategic prioritization... --- > Gordian executives, Thomas DiGangi, Jr. and Scott Smith, have been elected to leadership positions within key industry councils. - Published: 2017-11-02 - Modified: 2018-08-31 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/gordian-executives-elected-to-leadership-roles-in/ Gordian executives, Thomas DiGangi, Jr. and Scott Smith, have been elected to leadership positions within key industry councils.  Gordian, the leading provider of facility and construction cost data, software and expertise, announced today two executives, Thomas DiGangi, Jr. and Scott Smith, have been elected to leadership positions within key industry councils.

C. , July 10, 2015 - Cook County, Ill. , received a 2015 Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties (NACo) for innovative use of a construction-procurement system to ensure prompt, efficient and cost-effective repairs, maintenance and construction of county facilities and infrastructure. As the second most populous county in America, Cook County facility owners must be prepared to complete planned and unplanned construction, maintenance and repairs of buildings and infrastructure. In 2013, rather than using traditional design-bid-build construction procurement methods, the county established four programs that have on-call contractors available to complete projects as needed and when needed. Cook County implemented The Gordian Group’s Job Order Contracting (JOC) construction procurement method to streamline the procurement process. “The shift to Gordian’s Job Order Contracting process demonstrates Cook County’s desire to quickly and responsibly address facility and infrastructure needs in order to maintain services for residents,” said William Pollak, CEO of The Gordian Group. “We congratulate the county on its award and for its success serving residents’ needs. ” Using Gordian JOC Solutions®, Cook County established four general, two electrical, two mechanical, two highway-site work and two residential contracts. The 12 contracts are available to all Cook County departments. Since implementing the program, departments have completed projects that include hospital condensing-unit installation, correctional facility plumbing repairs, window replacements, Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades, office renovations, emergency repairs and roof replacements.

Mellon Award of Excellence in Job Order Contracting for 2014 for emergency repairs to the roof of its District 4 headquarters building in Akron, OH. ODOT and Price Builders & Developers, Inc., the general contractor on the project, were honored for innovative use of Gordian ezIQC®, a leading indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity construction procurement system. Greenville, S. C. , May 5, 2015 - The Ohio Department of Transportation received The Harry H. Mellon Award of Excellence in Job Order Contracting for 2014 for emergency repairs to the roof of its District 4 headquarters building in Akron, OH. ODOT and Price Builders & Developers, Inc. , the general contractor on the project, were honored for innovative use of Gordian ezIQC®, a leading indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity construction procurement system. Within two hours of being notified of the roof structure’s failure, the contractor assembled a team of licensed engineers and contractors and began analyzing the problem. The bottom chord, or lowest lateral support in the structure of the roof trusses, had failed. The failure meant the roof could collapse onto floors below if it was not stabilized immediately and then replaced. As ODOT workers were evacuated from the building’s second floor, engineers and contractors determined how to temporarily shore up the bottom of the trusses. That work in part required removal of office furniture and the ceiling grid. Shoring posts and scaffolding were installed to transfer the weight of the roof trusses to the building’s structure. Once Price Builders & Developers secured the building for use, the contractor worked with engineers to determine how to replace the entire roof truss system. Work on the $1. 4 million project to replace the roof truss system in sections began in the winter of 2014. The ezIQC system allowed ODOT to secure qualified, local contractors in a fast-paced manner, while following state... --- > Gordian announces acquisition of RSMeans from Reed Construction Data, a division of Reed Business Information. - Published: 2014-07-21 - Modified: 2018-08-31 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/the-gordian-group-acquires-rsmeans-combines-two-i/ The Gordian Group, a leading provider of pricing data, procurement software and services for the construction industry and facility owners, announced today the acquisition of RSMeans from Reed Construction Data, a division of Reed Business Information.

Mellon Award of Excellence in Job Order Contracting for 2013 was awarded to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and Power Engineering Construction Company (Power Engineering) for replacement of an underwater end gate on the City’s Southwest Ocean Outfall (SWOO). The discharge line for Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant (OSP) and wet weather decanted flows from the Westside Transport/Storage Box. Replacing the SWOO end gate required extensive planning, precise crew scheduling, marine-construction equipment and underwater construction methods. Work to install an 8-ft. -diameter end gate took place 87 ft. below the surface of the Pacific Ocean and 4. 5 miles west of San Francisco. Power Engineering worked with SFPUC engineers, planning and completing the initial phase of work between July and December 2007. This phase included removal of the existing end gate and installation of a temporary one. The second phase of work started in September 2013, allowing ample time for the end gate to be retrofitted with an access door for remote-operated vehicles and divers. Removal of the temporary end gate and installation of the newly modified 6,110-lbs end gate took just four days. Crews worked in shifts, 12-hours on and 12-hours off, to allow OSP to continue operating. The custom nature of the project required Power Engineering to design, build and test a mechanism to align a deep-water coring machine to drill holes for additional anchor bolts. The holes could only be drilled when the end gate was in place... --- > Gordian introduces Change Order Management System™, a solution that enables owners to establish pricing up front for changes incurred during construction. - Published: 2013-04-08 - Modified: 2018-08-31 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/the-gordian-groups-coms-saves-time-money/ MAULDIN, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Gordian Group, a leading provider of pricing data, procurement software and services for the construction industry and facility owners, introduced today its Change Order Management System™ (COMS), a solution that enables facility owners to establish pricing up front for changes incurred during construction.

C. --(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Gordian Group, a leading provider of pricing data, procurement software and services for the construction industry and facility owners, introduced today its Change Order Management System™ (COMS), a solution that enables facility owners to establish pricing up front for changes incurred during construction. COMS helps facility owners and contractors avoid disputes and project delays by utilizing the precise and detailed data for which Gordian is known. Change orders often arise from variations to a project’s original scope of work, design errors and omissions, and unforeseen conditions. These situations frequently leave a facility owner with limited options to avoid delays and higher costs once a project has begun. By requiring contractors when a project is awarded to abide by defined prices published in Gordian’s Construction Task Catalog® for all change orders, the cost of each change becomes a simple function of the preset unit price, multiplied by the adjustment factor, multiplied by the quantity of the task. COMS relies on Gordian’s localized and customizable Construction Task Catalog, which includes fixed-unit pricing based on prevailing wage rates and material and equipment costs for hundreds of U. S. metropolitan areas. Gordian’s highly detailed Construction Task Catalog compiles pricing from a construction cost database of over 260,000 tasks—the largest in existence. With COMS, these preset unit prices apply to virtually every imaginable construction task and are established at the beginning of a project to simplify the entire change order pricing process, reduce administrative effort, and avoid delays by eliminating... --- - Published: 2013-01-09 - Modified: 2018-08-31 - URL: https://www.gordian.com/press/regional-winners-announced-for-construction-indust/ MAULDIN, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nine regional winners in the construction industry’s program to recognize excellence are one step closer to being named the national winner of the Harry H.

A new, permanent space was completed five months later, and residents hailed the swift, extensive renovation. Today, industry experts recognized the rapid renovation as winner of the 2011 Harry H.

The exception occurs when a facility owner, like the United States Postal Service, routinely uses the Job Order Contracting construction-procurement system to complete repair and alteration projects. Postal Service officials in Healdsburg needed to move quickly to restore services that included mail delivery, post office box rentals and sales of stamps. The renovation included the outfitting of a nearby postal delivery unit with a temporary space to provide these services in 48 hours. Within five short months, it also became the town's permanent post office. Working from notebook paper sketches drawn by administrators and contractors, the Postal Service was able to begin consulting with renovation and repair contractors the day after the fire due to the Job Order Contracting agreements in place to provide construction services and materials at specific prices.
