Sometimes the Town of Fountain Hills needs to get work done in a hurry, on an emergency basis leaving no time to go through a normal bidding or selection process.
Five or six years ago the town determined it needed to remedy the situation so it could act quickly if work needs to be done. The council established the use of Job Order Contracts (JOCs) for general contracting services covering all manner of needs.
At its meeting on June 18, the Town Council approved six job order services agreements. Public Works Director Justin Weldy told the council that this is an efficient and collaborative procurement tool.
