The Contract Cost Plus Agreement with us in Contra Costa is a legal document that outlines the terms between a contractor and an owner for a construction project. Key features include the scope of work, work site description, permit acquisition responsibilities, and provisions regarding soil conditions. The agreement also specifies insurance obligations and procedures for changes to the scope of work via Change Orders, ensuring that any modifications are documented in writing. Notably, the contractor's compensation is based on the actual costs of materials plus an agreed-upon fee, which supports transparent budgeting for the owner. The form requires clarity in defining payment terms, late payment penalties, and warranty limitations related to workmanship. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need to facilitate clear contractual obligations and maintain legal compliance in construction projects. By delivering a structured approach, the agreement can help mitigate disputes and clarify expectations throughout the construction process.
