Case Study: Cook County Sheriff’s Office accelerates firing range upgrades with Gordian Job Order Contracting

Cook County Sheriff’s Office cuts firing range procurement time from 140 to 40 days with Gordian

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office faced a critical deadline to renovate its aging firing range so officers could complete mandatory firearms qualifications. The project had to be finished in an extremely tight, three-month window to avoid a significant disruption to public safety operations. To meet this challenge, the county utilized its Job Order Contracting (JOC) program from vendor Gordian.

By using Gordian's JOC solution, Cook County accelerated its procurement process by over 70%, reducing the timeline from 140 days to just 40 days. This allowed the awarded contractor to begin work immediately and complete the $196,000 upgrade ahead of schedule. The successful renovation ensured the Sheriff's Office could maintain its qualification schedule, thereby upholding a vital component of its public safety mission.
