Also, you can get permission to copy them...AIA will not allow copying.
RE: Contract Documents
It is my opinion that contracts do not have to be lengthy. There are basic clauses that must be covered. Here is a short list that I have in mine:
1. Name and address of parties.
2. Name of project and its location
3. Scope of services, the more detailed the better.
4. Schedule, it is imperative to have a schedule or a statement as to the miles stones. If I do not have a schedule, we state that both parties will endeavor to expedite and mutually agree on dates.
5. Deliverables, the more detailed the better.
6. Assumptions and exclusions
7. Fee and break down of design, CM and reimbursable.
8. Billing and payment frequency.
9. Venue of litigation (we specify that courts in our county will be the venue). This may become valuable if you have client who lives many miles or in another county.
10. Attorney fees. If they do not pay and sue to collect, the client shall bear the cost of attorney fees. The attorney fees shall be over and above the design fee.
11. Copyright to the plans. We insert this in everyone of our proposal.
12. Detailed list of reimbursable.
13 Signature blocks.
This is very simple and can be achieved in six (6) pages.
Good luck.

Let the engineers engineer the project.
Let the lawyers and insurance people deal with the contract.
