Talking Points:

Master Agreements with Work Orders and Service Orders:
o A need for these documents was identified by the AIA Contract Documents
Committee working with AIA’s Small Firm Roundtable (SFRT), and two of the
AIA’s Knowledge Communities: the Small Project Practitioners (SPP) and the
Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN). The concept was tested during
the 2012 IPSOS, market research survey where Master Agreement/Task Order
documents were the 4th favored new documents out of 10 concepts.
o The Master Agreement allows the parties to agree to a predefined set of terms
and conditions that will be applicable to multiple scopes of work or services. In
order to add services under the Master Agreement, the parties will execute a
task order (either a Service Order or Work Order) that establishes, among other
specific terms, the scope of services or work, and the compensation.
o These new documents will avoid the necessity for the parties to renegotiate
their entire agreement when new services or work are added during the
duration of the Master Agreement. The Master Agreement plus Task Order
contracting method allows multiple scopes of services or work to be issued
quickly without the necessity to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the
Master Agreement.
o These documents will likely be used for smaller projects or where the Architect
or Contractor will be performing a number of traditional or non-traditional
services on a number of projects over a period of time.

B133, Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Edition:
o The audience for the new document is owners and architects who use the
construction manager as constructor delivery model. This delivery model is
typically used by sophisticated owners on larger projects.
o AIA Contract Documents recognized the need for this document to define the
architect’s scope and responsibilities when a construction manager is involved
during the design phases of this delivery model.
o The benefit of the construction manager as constructor delivery model is that
the construction manager, who will be performing the construction of the
project, is brought on early in the process to work collaboratively with the
owner and architect during the design phases. The construction manager
provides a guaranteed maximum price or control estimate to the owner once
the design has reached a sufficient level of detail. From this point, the
construction manager then constructs the project similar to the way a general
contractor would. This collaborative process provides the owner and the
architect with the benefit of having the builder’s perspective during the design
process. This may result in a more efficient and less costly project than use of
other delivery models.


B133 is coordinated for use with the A133-2009 and A134-2009
Owner/Construction Manager as Constructor agreements.
Program Manager for use on a Single Project:
o The target audience for the new C172™–2014, Standard Form of Agreement
Between Owner and Program Manager for use on a Single Project, are owners
who can use this agreement to hire a program manager to administer the
owner’s responsibilities on a project and provide advice throughout. A program
manager does not have to be an architect under this agreement, but the AIA
believes that architects are particularly suited for this role.
o This document is flexible for use on any size of project, small to large, because
the document includes optional services that may be selected to customize the
program manager’s scope . These optional services include a range of cost
estimating and construction administration services that the user can select
based on the needs of the project. The document also allows users to select
from a range of information management duties that the Program Manager
may perform.
