LAUSD JOC Program

LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (LAUSD filed a complaint against
an awarded JOC contractor for breach of contract concerning cafeteria renovations. LAUSD prevailed on its claims for breach of contract and was awarded $3,941,829 in damages. Download Case Filing

A well designed and well managed Job Order Contracting Program (JOC Program) should accelerate planning, procurement, and project delivery off repair, renovation, maintenance, and minor construction projects, as well as associated cost savings, quality improvements, and elimination of legal disputes.

While LAUSD prevailed in this dispute, it is arguable that the associated issues could have been detected at the proposal negotiation stages and other phases… prior to the JOC Program Audit that subsequently identified the issues.
