Description

80% of the people managing Construction Contracts do not read, do not understand, or are not following the Construction Contract in place between the two organizations. This creates problems for both the Owner and the Contractor as well as the other participants involved with the project (Consultant, Subcontractors, Sub-Subcontractors, and Suppliers).  

In this workshop, the bidding process will be reviewed (Expression of Interest (EOI), Request for Qualifications (RFQ), Request for Proposals (RFP), Contract A, Contract B), the difference between a Letter of Intent and Letter of Award (one of which one is simply an agreement to agree) and the terms and conditions of the CCDC-2 Stipulated Price Construction Contract. 

Guides covered in the workshop: 

• CCDC-00 – Guide to Use of CCDC Master Specification for Division 00 – Procurement and Contracting Requirements

• CCDC-10 – A Guide to Construction Project Delivery Methods

• CCDC-20 – Guide to the use of CCDC-2 Stipulated Price Contract

• CCDC-23 – Guide to the Call and Awarding of Construction Contracts

• CCDC-21 – Guide to Construction Insurance

• CCDC-22 – Guide to Construction Surety Bonds

• CCDC-24 – Guide to Model Forms

• CCDC-29 – Guide to Prequalification

• CCDC-40 – Rules for Mediation and Arbitration of Construction Industry Disputes

• CCA 53 – A Trade Contractors Guide and Checklist to Construction Contracts

Delivery Method: Virtual Session - GoToTraining Platform.
