The American Institute of Architects launched new contract documents. These include a new owner/consultant agreement, as well as six new administrative forms for use on design-build projects.
The C103—2015, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Consultant without a Predefined Scope of Consultant’s Services establishes expectations between an owner and consultant on a project. This agreement contains basic business terms related to copyrights and licenses, claims and disputes, termination or suspension and compensation.
The AIA has also added six new Design-Build forms to complete the Design-Build family of documents, which has quickly become one of the most popular document families in the AIA portfolio. The six new documents include :
- G741-2015, Change Order for a Design-Build Project
- G742C-2015, Application and Certificate for Payment for a Design-Build Project, Contractor Variation
- G742S-2015, Application and Certificate for Payment for a Design-Build Project, Subcontractor Variation
- G743C-2015, Continuation Sheet for a Design-Build Project, Contractor Variation
- G743S-2015, Continuation Sheet for a Design-Build Project, Subcontractor Variation
- G745-2015, Change Directive for a Design-Build Project
The new documents are available through the latest version of the AIA Contract Documents desktop software, as well as individually through AIA Documents-on-Demand and AIA Documents-on-Demand Plus. For details, visit aia.org.
