The bill outlines the ongoing Job Order Contracting (JOC) pilot program managed by the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) in Massachusetts, which is set to continue through fiscal years 2024 and 2025. The program allows for the rapid execution of maintenance, repair, and alteration projects at state-controlled facilities, with a maximum cost of $150,000 per job order. The report highlights the effectiveness of the JOC program in addressing urgent maintenance needs while ensuring safety and operational continuity. The average cost of projects in FY24 was approximately $90,500, while in FY25 it was around $79,115, demonstrating cost efficiency and timely project completion.

The report also includes specific project details, showcasing various contractors and the tasks they completed under the JOC program. Notable insertions in the report include the addition of new projects for FY24 and FY25, such as facade repairs at the Pittsfield State Office Building and fire alarm panel repairs at the Hurley Building. The JOC program has been praised for reducing administrative burdens and fostering a collaborative environment between DCAMM and contractors, ultimately leading to improved efficiency and cost savings in managing state facilities.
