The bill outlines the ongoing Job Order Contracting (JOC) pilot program managed by the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) in Massachusetts, as mandated by Section 63 of Chapter 42 of the Acts of 2022. This program allows for efficient procurement of maintenance, repair, and alteration projects at state facilities, with contracts limited to job orders estimated at no more than $150,000 each. The report highlights the completion of 19 tasks in FY24 and 13 tasks in FY25, with average project costs of approximately $90,500 and $79,115 respectively. The JOC program aims to streamline project delivery, reduce administrative costs, and ensure safety and operational continuity at occupied facilities.

The report also details specific projects completed under the JOC program, including various repairs and upgrades at state buildings. Notable insertions in the report include the addition of specific project names and contractors for both FY24 and FY25, such as D.A. Sullivan and Sons, Inc. for facade repairs at the Pittsfield State Office Building and Excell Construction Corp. for fire alarm panel repairs at the Hurley Building. The JOC program has proven effective in addressing urgent maintenance needs while minimizing bureaucratic hurdles, allowing DCAMM to focus on critical repairs without compromising safety or fiscal responsibility.
