Description
The Cost Plus Contract in simple words in Contra Costa is an agreement between a contractor and owner where the owner pays for the actual costs of materials plus a fixed fee for the contractor's services. This type of contract allows owners to be flexible with changes in the project. It includes key terms such as the scope of work, the work site, permit responsibilities, and insurance requirements. Owners must provide written specifications for any additional work needed due to soil conditions and can make changes but must submit a written 'Change Order'. The contractor is not liable for soil issues but maintains insurance to cover any potential risks. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need clear guidelines on construction agreements. They can reference the detailed sections to ensure compliance and protect their interests while enabling effective project management.
