Contract for Professional Services

Contract for Professional Services

Contract for Professional Services

(OP)
I am looking for a good resourse to find a contract that can be used in an agreement between a structural engineer to provide professional services and a property owner.

RE: Contract for Professional Services

The Engineer's Joint Contract Documents Committee has some standard contracts for engineers.  Go to NSPE website and link from there.....or you could pirate one from another engineer...that's what everyone else does.

Make sure it has some basics covered, no matter which method you use...

1. Standard of care
2. Limitation of liability (and mutual or consequential damages)
3. Indemnification
4. Ownership of documents
5. Sample disposal and management (if you take samples such as for testing or forensic work)
6. Site operations (don't assume any responsibility for such)
7. Site safety (don't assume responsibility)
8. Dispute resolution (stay away from arbitration)
9. Clause severability

...also...you might move this post to the Engineer Business Practices forum.  This forum is for technical posting, so it might get deleted.
