Job order contracting is an alternative delivery method for facility renovation and remodel. It has been around since the 1990's but is gaining in popularity as owners seek integrated project delivery solutions. But the unit price structure of JOC can be confusing for owners and contractors alike, and establishing a long-term contract like this requires some preparatory work beyond what is necessary for a single project. This live audio conference demystifies the pricing and management of JOC. Necessary steps for establishing and bidding a JOC, from both the owner's and the contractor's perspective, will be addressed, as will personnel and management requirements once a JOC is in place. The JOC delivery order process will be described, with special emphasis on contractor and owner responsibilities. Owners should emerge from this live audio conference with a roadmap to procuring and managing a JOC. Contractors should emerge with an understanding of how to develop a coefficient, what skillsets are needed to scope, estimate and perform work under a JOC.
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to describe the competitive pricing component.
You will be able to discuss preparing for and managing a JOC.
You will be able to explain the JOC delivery order process.
You will be able to review JOC and other progressive delivery methods.
Who Should Attend
This live audio conference is designed for project managers, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, presidents, vice presidents, construction professionals, engineers, architects and attorneys.

As owners have searched for project delivery systems that reduce the overall duration from project conception to project completion without increasing their risks or their costs disproportionately, one of the most common approaches has included the use of guaranteed maximum price, or GMP, contracts. However, as the use of the various GMP contract formats has proliferated, so have disputes.
This live audio conference will address and resolve these dispute suggestions that parties to these disputes often lack full appreciation of the differences between GMP contracts and the contracts that the users are used to working under, how to manage the risks that are inherent to this delivery system, or the additional administrative burden that accompanies the use of this format.
This live audio conference is designed to highlight those differences and equip you with the knowledge needed to both understand and manage the differences and unique risks and administrative burdens of using this format. This program will be presented in a simple and straightforward manner by a professional with years of hands-on experience in the negotiation, drafting and administration of GMP contracts.
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to recognize how to use the various component of the GMP as tools for managing risk.
You will be able to explain and improve your understanding of the potential rewards and risks of inherent in GMP contracts.
You will be able to discuss what should change the GMP and what should not.
You will be able to identify how proper contract administration will help you manage risks as the work proceeds.
Who Should Attend
This live audio conference is designed for project managers, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, presidents, vice presidents, construction professionals, engineers, architects and attorneys.

Alleged violations of wage and hour laws have become a major source for the new wave of employment class actions, which often result in hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in many cases millions of dollars, of recoverable damages and attorneys' fees awarded to the successful litigants and their attorneys - in addition to the substantial amount of legal fees and administrative costs incurred by employers in defending these actions. The U.S. Department of Labor and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs have become increasingly vigilant in their investigation and enforcement of federal wage and hour laws. Recently enacted federal legislation and Executive Orders issued by the Obama Administration involving the use of federal stimulus monies impose additional prevailing wage and employment law compliance requirements and will result in increased enforcement by the federal government. Federal public works contractors often do not understand the requirements for complying with the Davis-Bacon Act when bidding on and performing federal public works contracts and the consequences of noncompliance.
This live audio conference will provide you with the information you need to understand the specific requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act, when it applies, and the process necessary to ensure compliance and avoid enforcement actions and potential penalties. Failure to comply with the Davis-Bacon Act can have dire consequences, including debarment and the loss of a major source of business, in addition to the exposure to substantial damages and attorneys' fees. This live audio conference will enable you to ensure you are satisfying the Davis-Bacon Act when competing for and performing federal public works contracts.
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to identify contract provisions that implicate the Davis-Bacon Act.
You will be able to recognize the potential consequences of noncompliance with the Davis-Bacon Act.
You will be able to define and apply the key aspects of the Davis-Bacon Act.
You will be able to describe the importance of complying with the Davis-Bacon Act.
Who Should Attend
This live audio conference is designed for attorneys, construction and project managers, owners, presidents, vice presidents, accountants, human resource managers, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, surveyors and payroll professionals.
