Description

The Contract Cost Plus Agreement with Example in Cook outlines key terms and conditions for a construction project between a Contractor and an Owner. It specifies the scope of work, including labor and materials per the Owner's plans, and establishes the work site for the project. Importantly, it includes clauses about obtaining necessary permits and addresses the condition of the soil at the work site, stating that the Contractor is not responsible for soil-related issues. The contract provides for flexibility in changing the project scope, requiring written change orders and stipulating that the Owner will cover any additional costs. The agreement's compensation structure allows for actual costs of materials plus a fixed fee for services, or alternatively, a fixed overall fee. This form emphasizes late payment penalties and outlines the Contractor's limited warranty for workmanship. This form is crucial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who engage in construction law as it ensures clear terms for cost management and responsibility, protects all parties' interests, and minimizes disputes related to construction projects.
