What is Job Order Contracting (JOC)?

JOC is an efficient way of getting numerous, commonly encountered renovation, repair , remodeling and smaller construction projects done easily and quickly under a single contract. With an emphasis on a collaborative process embracing partnering and teamwork between owners and contractors, JOC provides the methodology to execute a wide variety of indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, fixed price, multiple simultaneous orders for renovation, rehabilitation and repair work for large facilities and infrastructures.

This special session looks at the 2010 Alternative Project Delivery Method (APDM) legislation, SB 1406.  Hank Traeger, who has authored the majority of the APDM legislation for Arizona, leads the participants through the changes and new requirments of the SB 1406.

Topics to be covered:

• New Requirements for heavy rail and commuter rail facilities
• Addition to the definition of Horizontal construction

• Clarification on self-performed work
• New requirements for the "bundling" of CMAR and DB projects
• Strengthens the no "bid shopping" language
• New transparancy requirements
• Confirms authority for Title 48 entities to use Title 34 processes
• Requires compliance on effective date of bill

1.5 LEED BD+C Specific GBCI CE Hour

This course was designed to remove the intimidation factor for subcontractors and product professionals by demystifying the LEED process. We begin with an overview of LEED and the different construction plans and procedures required, present recommendations for selecting products, then conclude with examples of how to properly complete LEED documentation.

Material Strategies -

that Work for LEED

Made possible through a strategic partnership with:

Green Ideas - Environmental Education

2.0 GBCI CE Hours

Review the current LEED for New Construction Rating system, the key Materials & Resources Credit requirements and strategies to identify before and during the buyout of materials, and review an actual LEED Platinum case study. Participants will gain an understanding of the information required to successfully document material costs and contributing product data, with tips and strategies to reduce the documentation burden on their projects.

Owners are requiring the CMAR’s roles to change, by requiring the integration of architects, engineers and trade subcontractor to collaborate early in the life of a vertical project.   PreCon services are now being brought in early on of the design and construction programs by the CMAR, which can dramatically affect the eventual cost, quality and schedule of a project.

In the PreCon Phase, the CMAR becomes a part of the design team from the very beginning, which enables them to assess the project and review the conceptual and schematic designs, providing pricing information to the A/E and Owner, as well as evaluating construction methods and practices that would impact cost, such as unexpected structural or site-work, and installations of the HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems, which may be required for LEED.  This is helpful because the Owner can determine early on, before the design progresses too far, if the design  can be built with the available funds. 

Session 1:   Architect / Engineer

With A/E/C communities now using advanced integrated practices, such as collaboration, BIM, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and LEAN processes to address high performance design and construction programs, and owners requiring the Construction Manager at Risk’s (CMAR) to deliver complex projects, we see the need for highly specialized teams requiring unique personnel from the CMARs, Architect/Engineers and trade subcontractors to integrate early in the life of a vertical project and begin development of high performance teams, address Preconstruction Services.

The selected professionals in this segment are Dudley Campbell (Lead) and an architect, Patrick Scott and Arnold Canales. They will address the overall and underlying aspects of integrating the architectural design services with the CMAR’s PreCon program at the onset of the project to address the design elements of the project with all facets, including the development and use of the model to address sustainability, meeting the project goals and expectations of the owner, as well as how to manage the work in a collaborative environment with all the other team members on the project.

These processes will guide you through the design and construction program, allowing you to assess the PreCon Services needed to address your particular building program. This segment will highlight the details to ensure you can successfully plan the design functions within a preconstruction environment.

Session 2: Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)

How does the CMAR manage the Preconstruction Services and how does it integrate with the owner, design professionals and critical trade subcontractor? The construction professionals in this segment, which are Jeffrey May (Lead), Patrick Scott, Paul Schoeffler and Arnold Canales, look at the overall processes used by the CMAR to address scope of the project, communication between all parties, and the development of the prequalifications and selection of the trade subcontractors. In addition, this segment will look at the planning of the PreCon Services for a holistic view and how it is applied in a project. 

The CMAR is tasked to manage the process for the PreCon Services. The development of the plan to manage processes and scope, together with input and collaboration from other team members, allow the entire team to assess, discuss, decide and place into action the processes used to deliver highly complex projects to an owner. To accomplish this, the team must have trust and an open dialog to use BIM, LEAN and IPD within this performing team. The establishment of the team and use early in the project is critical at the start, using Preconstruction.

Session 4: CMAR - Development of Design-Assist, Value Analyses, and Constructability Reviews

So how does the CMAR manage the design-assist (D-A) processes, review of the project documents and the development of VA / VE process, along with the project constructability reviews? The construction professionals in this segment, which are Paul Schoeffler (Lead), Jeffrey May, Patrick Scott and Arnold Canales, look at the detailed aspects of the design-assist program and the relationship of design-assist to the both public nod private work, and how to use the process from the CMAR’s point of view. The process of document review will be looked at, together with several aspects of constructability, not only from the CMAR but the entire team. They will discuss the concepts of VA / VE and the purpose for the use. The team will also discuss the CMAR’s documentation program and highlight the new emerging IPD process.
