Town of Gilbert, ArizonaTraffic Signal Construction Projects
Project Description: The Town of Gilbert has been using a JOC program for the construction of traffic signals for the past four years and has constructed between twelve and fifteen signals each fiscal year. The main challenge over the past three years has been maintaining stable unit prices between solicitations. The pre-purchase of materials and consistent volume of work available to the JOC contractor has helped to achieve good price control over the years.
Individual Task Orders include a mandatory performance schedule of between six to eight weeks per intersection. The Town generally pre-purchases the poles, mast arms, signal heads and LED’s for the purpose of accelerating construction.
The results have been very favorable as the Town has been able to deliver projects more rapidly than the traditional design-bid-build method. As Gilbert has been one of the most rapidly growing municipal areas in the country, there has been a great demand to keep up with the growth. The Town of Gilbert has been very pleased with utilizing Job Order Contracting.
Quotes from the user/customer “This JOC system helps the Town to maintain an aggressive schedule to keep up with the rapidly growing community…… Job Order Contracting continues to be an asset for the Town.”
