The Cost Plus Contract with example in Contra Costa is a construction agreement where the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor for the actual costs incurred for materials plus a set fee for services. This contract outlines the scope of work, location of the project, and obligations regarding permits. It emphasizes that the Contractor is not liable for the soil conditions affecting the work site and affords the Owner the ability to make changes to the project scope through a written Change Order, potentially increasing costs. Payment terms specify late fees and the Contractor's responsibility for obtaining necessary insurance. This contract is useful for Attorneys, Partners, Owners, Associates, Paralegals, and Legal Assistants as it provides a framework for establishing clear expectations and responsibilities in construction projects. By utilizing this form, parties can ensure compliance with local regulations and help to mitigate potential disputes regarding changes and unforeseen expenses. The instructions guide users through filling out specific sections like the Contractor's fees and project scope, making it accessible even for those with limited legal knowledge.
