This design build project is a great example of what can be done through Job Order Contracting. These training facilities give fire fighters a chance to train in a structure that is every bit as complicated as your house or office that you work in without actually destroying the building. These buildings are typically complete with stairs, so that fire fighters can practice search and rescue operations across the span of the building and on multiple floors. Brought to you by: Mike Shiplet-The Gordian Group LC Structural has had a contract with CES since 2010 and has plenty of Job Order Contracting experience. The County asked them first to provide a price for design and topographical surveying. Once the design was complete the contractor was then tasked with providing a price for the construction. The County chose to access LC Structural through the JOC program because it gave them a choice as to which contractor they could work directly with. Dona Ana County chose LC Structural due to their rich history with metal buildings. This project also requires a considerable amount of site work, concrete formwork, and concrete placement. This type of work is nothing new to LC Structural and they are well equipped to handle projects of this size and complexity. Their selection was an easy one for Dona Ana County and they are looking forward to a completed project so their fire fighters can continue to hone their firefighting skills. 2 Congratulations!
