Necessary Parts of a Typical Construction Contract
O Parties identifiedO Parties make promises that constitute
an offerO Both parties sign the contractO Both parties receive consideration:
O Contractor – payment for work doneO Owner – use of the completed project
O Parties of the contract must have the LEGAL AUTHORITY to negotiate a contract

Contractual Relationships
O Agreement between the OWNER and CONTRACTOR is the primary construction contract
O There are other contractual relationships which exist

Construction Agreement Forms
O Agreement – legal, binding, written document signed by owner & contractor
O Defines the relationships and obligations that exist
O By reference it incorporates ALL OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

Advantages to Using Standard Agreement Forms—Disadvantages
if Modified Forms UsedO Advantages
O Familiarity of the formsO Legal precedents interpreting the
documentsO Uniformity of terminology
O DisadvantagesO Modifications warrant care that all
references are coordinated (change in one part of the form may require changes in several locations)
O Seek legal counsel8

Conditions of the Contract
O Define basic rights, responsibilities, and relationships of the parties involved in the construction process in greater detail than the agreement

Design & Construction Parties
O Owner – may be an individual or an organization; initiates the project and secures funding for the design, construction and operation of the completed project
O Contractor – agrees to build the project; may enter into sub-contracts
O A/E – develops project designs and prepare construction documents; consultants may include: structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, acoustical, & environmental engineers and landscape architects, interior designers, and hardware specialists

Methods of Contractor Selection
O Competitive BiddingO Direct Selection

![Page 12: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Competitive BiddingO Objective is to ensure that the cost of
the project is reasonable and consistent with existing conditions in industry
O Publicly funded projects – owner required to select lowest bidder
O Private projects – owner may also consider the bidders’ qualifications, experience, financial condition, and performance history
12

Direct SelectionO Owner, with advice from the A/E
selects contractor – total price and method of payment is then negotiated
O This method is generally NOT allowed for public projects
13

3 Decisions Made in Determining Kind of
ContractO Number of contractsO Contract typeO Basis of payment
14
![Page 15: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Number of ContractsO Single Prime Contract – most
common, uses competitive bidding (pg 3.12; fig 3.3-C) owner has contract w/ A/E & contractor; but A/E & contractor do NOT have contract
O Multiple Prime Contract – Owner divides the work among several contractors & has separate contract w/ each of them. (pg 3.13; fig 3.3-D) [e.g. paving, site work, foundations, landscaping, painting] Often used in FAST TRACK projects when construction on parts of the project is started prior to all of the design elements of the project being completed

Project Delivery Method
O Design-Bid-BuildO Design-Negotiate-BuildO Construction ManagementO Design-BuildO Owner-BuildO Construction SubcontractsO Total Project Commissioning

Design-Bid-BuildO Traditional method of project deliveryO Typically uses competitive biddingO Considerations
O Project fundingO Owner’s capacityO CostO Extent of workO Time priorities
O See Figure 3.4-A on page 3.16
17
![Page 18: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Design-Negotiate-Build
O Similar to the Design-Bid-Build contract but only ONE contractor involved in developing costs and negotiating a contract to construct the project
O Primary considerations are construction excellence and time (project costs not subject to competitive bidding process)
O See figure 3.4-B on page 3.1918
![Page 19: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Construction Management
O May have either single or multiple prime contracts
O Construction manager is employed by the owner to oversee and administer the project (may or may not actually perform any of the construction work)
O See pg 3.24; figs. 3.4-C & 3.4-D

Project ManagementO Similar to construction management
but also includes coordination of the design & planning stages of the project
O Large projects overseas have been successful using this
O Projects involving multiple structures & extensive site improvements often require this type of supervision; complex projects such as industrial & process engineering plants use this type of contract
20
![Page 21: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Design-BuildO Owner contracts w/ a single entity to
design as well as build the projectO Turnkey – an extended design-build
contract in which the selection, procurement, and installation of all furnishings, furniture, and equipment is also included
O See pg 3.30; fig 3.4-E

![Page 22: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Owner-BuildO This type of contract is usually seen
with large-scale developers O Only construction contracts needed
are between the owner and various subcontractors
O See pg 3.34; fig. 3.4-F
22
![Page 23: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Construction Subcontracts
O Usually involves a contract between the contractor and subcontractors and material suppliers
O May be verbal…best if written
23
![Page 24: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Total Project Commissioning
O Defined by ASHRAE as a method to improve the delivery of a process.
O Focus is on QUALITYO Makes sure that all components of a
building are planned, installed, and maintained according to an owner’s requirements
24
![Page 25: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3 Types of Basis of Payment
O Stipulated (Lump) SumO Unit PriceO Cost-Plus Fee
25
![Page 26: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Stipulated SumO Simplest method usedO States that the contract
requirements will be completed for a given amount of money
26
![Page 27: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Unit PriceO Used when the extent of work or
actual quantities can not be determined when bids are made (earthwork is such an example)
O Many civil engineering projects use unit price type of payment
O With unit price, the owner pays for exactly what is documented as done after the work has been completed
27
![Page 28: Construction Contracts and Project Delivery Methods ACT 380 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e725503460f94b7080c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cost-Plus FeeO Contractor paid for actual cost of labor
PLUS a fee for overhead and profitO Fee may be a percentage of the labor &
material cost or a fixed amountO Cost-Plus Fee agreements may also
include incentives for early completionO It is reasonable for the owner to require
a guaranteed maximum price to ensure that the total project cost will not exceed a given amount
