Job creation and economic stimulus are THE hot topics today in the press and in government sessions due to the current economy. The economic stimulus package is now a reality, and the search is on to find shovel ready construction projects to put that money to good use quickly. When funds become available, two major concerns arise.

• How to rapidly allocate the funds so that local businesses can get their fair share and put people to work right away.
• How to ensure that the work is of high quality, cost effective, and completed with a fully auditable paper trail.

Allocating funds is a difficult process in and of itself, but tracking where it goes, making sure that funds are invested efficiently, tracking projects and providing a complete paper trail while maintaining efficiency is yet another challenge. JOC solutions solves these challenges by centralizing all the workflow in one place: our industry-leading management software, PROGEN. So, not only do you have a method to quickly and effectively allocate funds, but you also have complete, centralized, and documented accountability.

Gordian solutions consistently enhance the participation of local, minority, and women owned businesses. Because no commitment is made to the prime JOC contractor regarding specific projects or the exact types of work that will be required, the contractor cannot develop an in-house work force to do all the work and is forced to maximize the use of subcontractors, i.e., small local businesses. Over the past 5 years, 95% of all work completed through our system has been contracted to local firms, thereby helping to strengthen local economies.

In addition, local businesses strongly support JOC because they are able to receive large amounts of work through subcontracts without the official red tape normally associated with bidding. They also support JOC because it does not tie up their bonding capacity. Bidding, paperwork, and bonding are all handled at the prime contract level. The small local contractors get the work fast and get paid fast.
