For the general contractors, the guide for allowable work will be the current RS MEANS Facilities Construction Cost Data (MEANS). Each division in MEANS lists a number of construction tasks, services and commodities. The contractor can provide any item listed in an awarded division.

For the fencing contractors, the guide will be the Unit Price Book developed by Mohave.

Contractors may perform ancillary services outside of awarded divisions, if required to complete a covered project. The key to acceptable ancillary work is that the work be a minor part of completing a project. Contracting for convenience outside the scope of an award is not acceptable.

The contractor and member determine the scope of the project. The contractor determines the UPB line items required for the project and the quantity of each line item. The quantity for each line item is multiplied by the applicable unit price. The applicable city cost index, and then the pricing coefficient (i.e., .82) is multiplied against the grand total of all individual line item costs. This is the project cost.

Professional services, if requested, are charged in addition to project cost.

The law permits the governing bodies of some entities to formally raise the job order limit above $1M.

Obtain a detailed quote from the contractor.

The quote should provide a list of UPB line items, line item quantities, line item unit prices, extended line item costs, total cost before coefficient, and total cost after application coefficient. Obtaining a detailed quote will help ensure the project was priced correctly.
Note: The Performance and Payment Bond requirements that are applicable to other construction purchasing also apply to JOC.

Mohave uses the quote to verify that the job was priced in accordance with the contract. Failure to attach the quote will delay the project.

Contractor performs the work after the "MESC Reviewed" purchase order is received. The member also receives a copy of that purchase order.

Starting the project before receipt of an "MESC Reviewed" purchase order is a violation of the contract and may result in termination of the contract.

Larger projects may require progress payments. Decide on progress payments prior to issuing your purchase order. Make a note on the purchase order if progress payments will be used.

Pay promptly. Certain statutory timelines apply to payments made on construction projects. Mohave’s admin fee is included in the invoiced amount. The vendor will remit the admin fee to Mohave.
