Summer Construction: Getting the Job Done Before the First Day of School
JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019 / COLLEGE PLANNING & MANAGEMENT 31
THE SUMMER MONTHS ARE A MARATHON networks across the nation. Avoid the red bidding requirements with ezIQC. Maximize
of construction, repairs, and mainte-
nance. Dealing with so many projects that must be completed within budget and under a limited timeframe is a formidable juggling act. Proper planning, tools, and part- nerships are essential to ensure your summer projects get done on schedule.
From larger projects such as bathroom updates and library upgrades to smaller main- tenance and replacement jobs, work is always on the horizon. Getting qualified contrac- tors on-site can be stressful, as traditional competitive bidding for projects is extremely time-consuming and costly.
The high-stakes juggling act doesn’t stop once projects are procured. Colleges and universities are all on the same schedule,
so access to qualified contractors who are familiar with working in a school environment is challenging in peak construction seasons. But the work must get done before students return to campus. To meet these demands, colleges and universities are choosing Job Order Contracting (JOC), a fast, flexible way to buy construction services.
JOC helps colleges and universities of all sizes control costs, save time and begin work faster. JOC solutions, such as ezIQC, are also available through cooperative purchasing
tape of traditional procurement, issue POs in days, and still satisfy your local competitive
summer construction months with JOC and
ezIQC. Learn more at www.gordian.com.
