FAR 16.306. It provides for two types of CPFF contracts: the Completion type, which has a “definite goal or target and specifies an end product,” and the Term type, which “obligates the contractor to devote a specified level of effort for a stated time period.”
CCDC contracts are ubiquitous in the construction industry. They are used for all manner of different project types and sizes, so much so that familiarity with these documents is almost becoming required to do business in Ontario's construction industry. There are currently around 14 types of CCDC format contracts.
The CCA specifically handles documents affecting the contractor to sub-contractor relationships while the CCDC documents typically handle contractor to owner relationships. Contracts Covered: CCA 1.
