Job Order Contracting
Skip the Bid. Start the Building.
Skip the long timeline and high cost of running your own independent RFP. Public bodies can utilize a cooperative purchasing agreement with pre-approved contractors that already competitively bid on a master cooperative purchasing contract that complies with your competitive bid requirements.
