Objectives of Class

• To define standard contract forms and why to use
  standard contract forms
• To introduce different types of standard
  contract forms produced by the professional and
  trade associations for architects (American
  Institute of Architects), engineers (Engineers
  Joint Contract Documents Committee) and
  commercial contractors (Associated General
  Contractors of America)
• To differentiate between AIA, AGC, EJCDC Contract
  forms

STANDARD CONTRACT FORMS

• AIA Contract Documents are divided into the
  following categories
• A Series - Owner/Contractor Documents
• B Series - Owner/Architect Documents
• C Series - Architect/Consultant Documents
• D Series - Architect/Industry Documents
• G Series - Architect's Office Project Forms

5
Families of Documents

• The American Institute of Architects has also
  grouped AIA documents into "families" that may be
  applied to particular project delivery methods.
• Within each family, the documents provide a
  consistent structure and text base to support the
  major relationships on a design and
  constructionproject.
• A201 Family
• Small Project Family
• Interiors Family
• Construction Manager-Advisor (CMa) Family
• Construction Manager-Constructor (CMc) Family
• Design/Build Family

6
Families of Documents

• A201 Family
• When the owner's project is divided into separate
  contracts for design (with the architect) and for
  construction (with one or more builders), it may
  be appropriate to use the A201 family.
• This is the most commonly used family of
  documents since it is suitable for the
  conventional delivery approach of linearly
  sequential design-award-build.
• Used for small to large projects, this document
  "family" includes A101, A107, A111, A201,
  A201/SC, A401, A511, A701, B141, B144ARCH-CM,
  B151, B163, B181, B352, B511, B727, C141, C142,
  C727, C801.  

7
Families of Documents

• Small Project Family
• When the owner's project is
• small, such as a residential renovation or
  addition
• straightforward in design
• of short duration (less than one year from start
  of design to completion of construction)
• and without delivery complications such as
  competitive bidding, it may be appropriate to use
  the Small Project Family.
• This family of documents is suitable for small
  projects such as residential renovations,
  additions and other projects of relatively low
  cost and brief duration.  The documents included
  in this family are A105/A205, B155.  

8
Families of Documents

• Construction Manager-Adviser (CMa) Family
• The Construction Manager-adviser, in theory,
  enhances the level of expertise applied to
  managing the project from start to finish.
• In its purest form the CM-adviser approach
  preserves the construction manager's independent
  judgment, keeping that individual from being
  influenced by any monetary interest in the actual
  labor and materials incorporated into the
  construction work. 
• Documents included in this family are  A101/CMa,
  A201/CMa, A511/CMa, B141/CMa, B801/CMa. 

9
Families of Documents

• Design/Build Family
• When the owner's project consolidates the design
  and construction responsibilities into a single
  contract, it may be appropriate to use the
  Design/Build Family.
• The documents included in this family are  A191,
  A491, B901.

Owner and Contractor

• Form used will depend on the manner of
  compensating the contractor
• Fixed fee
• AIA Form A101 is appropriate for a fixed price
  contract
• Guaranteed maximum price
• Cost plus
• Form A111 should be used when payment to the
  contractor is based upon the cost of the work
  plus a fee
• The form is applicable to projects with or
  without a guaranteed maximum price
• These forms are intended to be used with AIA Form
  A201, the General Conditions of the Contract for
  Construction, which details the general terms of
  the contract for construction
