The contract term spans 36 months or $12 million per JOC, whichever occurs first, with an option to renew for an additional 24 months or the balance of the maximum contract amount, not to exceed $20 million total. Individual Job Order Agreements will not exceed $4 million in construction costs. No pricing is required at the SOQ stage; pricing will be submitted by finalists during the RFP phase.
