EZIQC® is an Indefinite Quantity Construction Contract that is competitively bid
to accomplish maintenance, repair and minor new construction.
These contracts are based on a catalog of pre-priced construction tasks for all
divisions of construction. EZIQC® will save time and money on your construction
projects while delivering the highest quality.
Proven Success
EZIQC® is a proven system that has been in use for over twenty years. This is the
same system being utilized by the United States Postal Service, New York, Chicago
and San Francisco, and many other large and small public and private facility owners
across the country including state governments, counties, towns, universities and
school systems. EZIQC® is ideal for interior, exterior, vertical, horizontal, and
environmental projects.
Ordering construction services has never been easier!
[+] How does EZIQC® Work?
If you need space renovated, a building painted, asbestos removed, or some other
type of construction work completed,
- Click on the New Project tab at http://www.EZIQC.com.
- Enter your name, contact information, project description and click "Submit My Project".
- An EZIQC representative will contact you to complete the order.
The EZIQC® representative will contact one of the EZIQC® contractors and together
with you, the facility owner, go to the site of the work and develop a Detailed
Scope of Work. We call this a Joint Scope Meeting. The Detailed Scope of Work is
very important because it describes the work and your expectations from the contractor.
The contractor uses a Construction Task Catalog® (CTC) to develop the cost proposal
based on the Detailed Scope of Work. The CTC is a comprehensive Catalog of Construction
Tasks® with prices that have been developed for the local area. The contractor selects
the tasks from the CTC, multiplies the prices of the tasks by the required quantities
and multiplies the result by their competitively bid adjustment factor. Your EZIQC®
representative will review the cost proposal to make sure the appropriate tasks
are used and the quantities are right. The contractor will also submit a construction
schedule, subcontractor list, submittals and other information you request.
You review the proposal package and determine if it fits within your budget and
schedule. There is no obligation on your part until you approve a proposal and issue
a purchase order to the contractor. The purchase order is a lump sum price
to complete the Detailed Scope of Work within the approved construction schedule.
Construction management and inspection is completed by you or your representative.
You can also order construction management and inspection services through EZIQC®.
[+] Why does EZIQC® Work?
Time Savings
Competitive Bidding Complete: The contractors have already competitively
bid for your work when they bid their master EZIQC® contract. You save time because
you do not have to repeat the bidding process. You can have the contractor working
in days or weeks instead of months, and all work is paid for at the competitively
bid prices.
Cost Savings
Volume Discount: The contractor incorporates a volume discount because the
EZIQC® master contract is structured so that the contractor will be awarded numerous
jobs under one competitive bid. More work volume for the contractor means lower
prices and savings for you.
Few to no Change Orders: The contractor scopes the work with you and has
the opportunity to inspect the work site and ask questions about the work before
the proposal is submitted. This open communication eliminates the confusion, misunderstanding
and mistakes that lead to most change orders. You, as the owner, still have the
right to change the scope of work at any time during the job. Under the EZIQC® system,
extra work and changes are priced out of the CTC, preventing the contractor from
price gouging. Credits are handled the same way. No more negotiating change orders.
Everything is pre-priced.
Better Quality
No Guarantee to the Contractor: There is no obligation to give the contractor
any jobs under their master EZIQC® contract. The contractor must satisfy your requirements
of high quality construction completed on time or the contractor risks losing future
jobs. This motivates the contractor to meet your high standards.
