Welcome to CRCOG’s one-stop-shopping solution for all your
Municipal and BOE facility project needs!

ezIQC® is a competitively-bid system for procuring an indefinite quantity of on-call construction and construction-related services, typically covering repair, maintenance, and smaller-scale construction/renovation work. A single competitive solicitation is issued for thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of construction task items up front—from general construction to specialty areas like mechanical, electrical, plumbing, flooring, roofing, painting, HVAC, and more. Thanks to this innovative procurement tool, CRPC members no longer have to go out to bid separately for all of their small and medium-sized projects. Instead, they have easy access to:

• On-call, competitively bid construction contracts
• Separate prices for non-prevailing and prevailing wage rate projects
• Experienced and insured contractors
• Construction bonds (if required)

Any CRPC Member can request a non-binding Price Proposal from their regional contractor for a specific construction project. See the map below to locate your region and contractor. Want more information? Download CRCOG’s Summary Sheet for details on how the ezIQC® process can work for your community.

In 2009, the Capitol Region Council of Governments signed a contract with The Gordian Group, Inc. to design, implement and maintain a Job Order Contracting Program on behalf of the CRPC membership. Since that time, CRCOG has conducted several competitive bidding processes to bring regional contractors on-line across the State under the ezIQC® program. Copies of our most recent bidding documents and resulting contracts are posted below. In order to use the Program, CRPC members must fill out an ezIQC® Side Letter Agreement which provides access to our contracts. Please download the document, fill it in and send it to Maureen Barton at CRCOG (mbarton@crcog.org). See Getting Started for next steps.

In fact, twenty-three CRPC members have counted on ezIQC® to tackle projects covering everything from roofing work to bathroom renovations, trim painting, carpet installations, door replacements, sidewalk improvements and more. These projects have graced town halls, police and fire stations, schools, libraries, parks, senior and community centers, dog pounds, nature centers and town garages.
