(b) Job order contracts may be executed for an initial contract term of no more than 12 months, with the option of extending or renewing the job order contract for two 12-month periods. The term of the job order contract shall be for the contract term or whenever the maximum value of the contract is achieved, whichever is less.

The job order shall be based on a project scope of work prepared by the community college district as well as a proposal from the job order contractor who is awarded the job order contract.
