Description

The Contract Cost Plus Agreement with us in Harris is structured to define the relationship between the Contractor and the Owner for a construction project. Key features of this agreement include a clear scope of work that outlines the responsibilities related to labor and materials, located at a specified work site. The Contractor is responsible for securing necessary permits, while soil condition issues can lead to extra costs for the Owner. Insurance coverage is mandated for the Contractor, covering general liability and worker's compensation. The agreement allows for changes in the project scope, with any additional costs to be documented through written change orders. The payment structure can be based on actual costs plus a fee or a fixed fee, with terms for late payment and default, including a specified late charge. The warranty provided by the Contractor is limited to one year for defects in workmanship. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in construction law, providing them a clear framework for agreements, ensuring accountability, and simplifying the legal complexities surrounding construction projects.
