required to enter into a contract in the form of UNTS (Owner) standard Job Order
Contract.
The contract will consist of a collection of proposed institutional facilities-type projects, as
they become approved, each subtracting its individual cost from the original total
contract sum. Each project will include detailed task specifications encompassing
alterations, renovation, remodeling, and major repairs to UNTS (Owner) structures and
properties.
Much of the work may be performed during normal operating hours; however, it may be
necessary to schedule work outside normal hours. It is expected that during University
break times that total project loads may be significantly higher; contractor staffing
should anticipate these needs.
For each project task, a unit of measure and corresponding unit price are to be the basis
for Contractor reimbursement. The contract will include RSMeans Data from Gordian
containing construction task(s) with preset unit price(s). All unit prices are based on
local labor, material, and equipment price and are for the direct cost of construction.
This resource book may also be referred to as the Unit Price Book (UPB). Contractors
bidding on the JOC are required to submit three (3) coefficients or multipliers:
1) coefficient for standard working hours,
2) coefficient for other than non-standard working hours, and
3) coefficient for non-pre-priced (NPP) task(s).
Coefficient numbers 1 and 2 apply to every task in the RSMeans Data from Gordian
construction catalog, and the coefficient number 3 is utilized only if no line item exists in
the RSMeans catalog. The three (3) coefficients will be weighed based on the Owner's
anticipated percentage of applicability.
Upon award of the Job Order Contract, each job order included in the contract is broken
down into individual tasks of work. As projects are identified, the Contractor will jointly
scope the work with the Owner's Project Manager. The Project Manager will prepare a
detailed Scope of Work (SOW) and issue a Request for a Job Order Price Proposal
(RFJOP) to the Contractor. The Contractor will prepare a proposal for the project based
upon the RSMeans Data (current) rate and the Contractor's coefficient. As part of the
proposal, the Contractor will include, at a minimum, a Job Order Proposal package
inclusive of proposal letter on company letter head with approved scope and appliable
coefficients along with costs (Reference Exhibit E, Sample Job Order Price Proposal
Package), RSMeans cost data breakdown, schedule, sketches or shop drawings, a list
of subcontractors with subcontractor's management fee if applicable, if non-pre-priced
items apply then submission of quote(s) for verification of costs, a VetHUB Sub-
Contracting Plan for approval, and any other requested documentation. After Owner's
Facilities Departmental review and acceptance by Owner's Construction Contract
Services team, a Job Order (JO) will be fully executed with the distribution of the Notice
to Proceed for performance of the work.
* The Quarterly Update of the RSMeans Data from Gordian
The current RSMeans Data from Gordian issued with the JOC Agreement will be in effect
for the entire term of the JOC Agreement.
The Unit Price Book, RSMeans Data from Gordian Construction Cost Data, latest
quarterly edition in effect at the time a Job (Work) is issued, which uses the CSI
numbering structure and pricing customized and localized for the area applicable to
Owner and or component campuses will be utilized.
2.7 Subcontracts
* Contractors may use the services of subcontractors, and will be responsible for their
reimbursement. Owner may require Contractor to submit payment affidavit(s) for
subcontractors before release of final payment. The use of subcontractors does not alter
UPB unit costs or Contractor's coefficient, and subcontractor pricing is not a basis of
reimbursement.
* As soon as practical, and before execution of contract, the Contractor shall notify Owner, in
writing, the names and phone numbers of all subcontractors proposed for the principal parts
of work, as well as for any other as directed by the Owner. The Contractor may not employ
any subcontractor, to which Owner objects for any reason, such as incompetent, unfit,
irresponsible, or unsafe.

* Contractor shall be solely and fully responsible to the Owner for any acts and/or omissions of
a subcontractor or persons directly employed thereby.
* Neither the JOC nor the contract documents shall create any contract or agreement between
any subcontractor and the Owner. Additionally, there is no intent to designate a
subcontractor as a beneficiary of the contract between the Owner and the Contractor.
Contractor agrees to bind each subcontractor. Furthermore, Contractor shall ensure each
subcontractor agrees to be bound by the terms of the JOC and related contract documents,
including JOC Program Specifications; the University of North Texas System Uniform
General Conditions 2022 Amended March 2026; and any other applicable guidelines (UNT

statutes, court decisions, and opinions of the Texas Attorney General with respect to disclosure
of information.
2.10 Definitions:
* Job Order: A contractual instrument issued by Owner to the Contractor. The Job Order
represents the Owner's representative estimate of task(s) and quantities of labor, materials,
and equipment required to perform the work; plans and specifications; and project timeline.
Issued upon agreement between Owner and Contractor regarding scope of work,
performance time, and price. The individual Job Order is a fixed-price lump sum contract
once the purchase order (PO) is issued. Contractor is authorized to begin work only once the
Notice to Proceed and official PO is signed and issued by UNTS Procurement Department.
* Coefficient: A competitively bid numerical factor referred to as the multiplier applied to a pre-
established unit price book (RSMeans Data from Gordian) to arrive at the contractor's final
price. The coefficient represents the contractor's indirect costs, overhead, and profit that are
not included in the bare unit costs of materials, labor, and equipment. Reference Attachment
F for factors to include with determining Contractor's proposed coefficient. Furthermore, the
coefficient is the Contractor's specific markup (in the form of discount applied or markup)
after the adjustment of costs based on a specific local area which may be referred to as CCI
within the construction cost book for the city / zip code that is relevant to the project location.
The price multiplier is bid and or proposed by the Contractor to the Owner. After contract
award, the contracted parties (Owner and Contractor) utilize this agreed upon (contracted
and non-negotiable) multiplier to determine the final cost of work within the requested
proposal/estimate from the Contractor. This coefficient is multiplied by the RSMeans Data
from Gordian rates listed in the Job Order. Proposed coefficient shall be a net decrease from
or increase to the price in the RSMeans Data from Gordian.
* Scope of Work (SOW): A statement or document outlining, in detail, the work the Contractor
is obligated to complete or perform for a particular Job Order.
* Job Order Price: The dollar amount to be paid to Contractor upon completion of a Job Order.
* Job Order completion time: Also known as Completion Time is the timeframe or duration of
time within which the Contractor must complete the SOW. The anticipated construction
duration from the Notice to Proceed in Calendar Days agreed upon in writing between the
Owner and Contractor identified within the Job Order Price Proposal package (Reference
Exhibit E, Sample Job Order Price Proposal Package).
* Joint scope meeting: A meeting held on site prior to finalizing the SOW to discuss the work
to be performed.
* Proposal: A set of documents that, at a minimum, include
1) Job Order price proposal
2) Proposed schedule
3) List of proposed subcontractors
4) VetHUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) required regardless of value or scope of the project.
5) Sketches, drawings, or layouts
6) Technical data or information regarding proposed materials and/or equipment.
* Non-pre-priced task: Work (such as material, equipment, and subcontracting services) that
is required by the SOW, but is not included in the unit price book, RSMeans Data from
Gordian.
* Standard Work Hours: Occupied building Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
CST or CDT (whichever timeframe is applicable for the time of year for the state of Texas).
Unless alternate standard work hours are agreed to for an individual Job Order.
Unoccupied Building Work hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
* Non-Standard Work Hours: Sometimes referred to as After-hours for hours worked Monday
through Friday 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. CST or CDT (whichever timeframe is applicable for the
time of year for the state of Texas). Including all hours worked on Saturdays, Sundays and
UNTS observed holidays will be considered non-standard hours. The Contractor will be
required to notify the Owner's representative in writing, a minimum of 24 hours in advance
when planning to work non-standard work hours, which must be approved in advance by
Owner's representative. Any work necessary during non-standard hours to maintain project
schedules, due to Contractor delay, shall be performed without additional cost to Owner.
Other work to be performed during non-standard hours that is directed by the Owner's
representative shall be at the Coefficient for non-standard working hours.
