Description

The Contract Cost Plus Agreement for Construction in Maryland outlines the terms and responsibilities between the contractor and owner for a construction project. Key features include the scope of work, work site details, permit responsibilities, and insurance requirements. The contractor is not liable for soil conditions, which could incur additional costs for the owner. Changes to the scope of work must be documented via written 'Change Orders,' with any cost increases being the owner's responsibility. A significant aspect is the cost structure, allowing the owner to pay either based on actual costs plus a fee, or a fixed fee for the project. The contract also stipulates late payment penalties and offers a limited warranty covering workmanship defects for one year. This form is ideal for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in construction projects in Maryland, as it provides clear guidelines for managing contractual obligations, financial responsibilities, and legal protections throughout the construction process.
