DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor the past 25 years, Joe Goldbloom and I have conducted a running debate over whether specifications writers engage in the unlawful practice of law. Joe's position is that lawyers have no business writing specifications, that being the designer's province. Having been given the honor to write this foreword, I have the opportunity for the last word, at least for now. Joe Goldbloom and I first met in 1964, while serving together on the ASCE Committee on Contract Administration. Joe became my teacher, mentor, and friend. Underlying our good natured debate was the serious issue of the technical qualifications required of a specifications writer. As a matter of fact, specifi cations writing traditionally has fallen in a crack between the two professions. Specifications writing typically is neither taught in engineering school nor in law school. Engineers are taught how to design; lawyers are taught how to draft contracts. Specifications writing requires mastery of the technical elements of design as well as the skills of contract drafting. Specifications writing is neither glamorous nor sexy; it is often viewed as a necessary evil of the designer's job.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In the late 1950s many members of the design professions-Engineers as well as Ar chitects-became concerned about their exposure to claims for professional malprac tice and particularly about the increasing number of claims that had been successfully brought against them arising out of their Construction Phase activities. This led to special studies sponsored by the American Institute of Architects and the Engineers joint Counsel. The outcome was twofold: the development of a policy of professional liability insurance to insure Engineers and Architects against errors and omissions in the performance of their professional services, and the review and development of the customary contractual arrangements defining the design profeSSional's undertakings vis a vis his client (the Owner), the Project to be designed, and the Contractor who was to implement that design. At the outset, the AlA's Owner-Architect Agreement (No. B131), General Conditions (No. A201) and the Owner-Contractor Agreements (Nos. A101 & 111) were the documents most frequently used by design professionals, and these received particular attention. In the early 1960s it became apparent that there was a need for a separate series of documents prepared to address these relationships when the Project to be designed involved primarily engineering considerations. The number of Projects for which the Engineer was employed by the Owner as the prime professional to handle the Project design and construction administration was increasing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis valuable reference, edited by one of the most respected names in construction law, presents the modifications and alternative clauses used by experienced attorneys in changing the most frequently discussed and controversial sections of the standard forms. In presenting selected alternative contract clauses to the AIA contracts, this book addresses the concerns of owners, developers, contractors, subcontractors and others who wish to supplement of modify the standard forms, and provides a complete rationale for each suggested modification. Attorneys for the various parties, on a variety of construction projects, can now easily shift project risks and liabilities to better project client interests by employing proven alternative clauses for contracts between owners and architects, and owners and contractors are included, and certain improvements to AIA's cost-plus construction contract forms are presented. the outstanding contributors to this work also address payment disputes that delay damage issues and other frequently contested and amended 'hot spots.' the most comprehensive sourcebook of its kind, Alternative Clauses to Standard Construction Contracts points up the benefits and limitations of each clause as seen from the standpoint of each party involved.
