CM Constructor Family

A121™CMc–2003 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager Where the Construction Manager is also the Constructor (AGC Document 565)
A121CMc–2003 is intended for use on projects where a construction manager, in addition to serving as adviser to the owner, assumes financial responsibility for construction of the project. The construction manager provides the owner with a guaranteed maximum price proposal, which the owner may accept, reject, or negotiate. Upon the owner's acceptance of the proposal by execution of an amendment, the construction manager becomes contractually bound to provide labor and materials for the project. The document divides the construction manager's services into two phases: the preconstruction phase and the construction phase, portions of which may proceed concurrently in order to fast track the process. A121CMc–2003 is coordinated for use with A201™–1997, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, and B151™–1997, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect.

A131™CMc–2003 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager Where the Construction Manager is also the Constructor and Where the Basis of Payment is the Cost Plus a Fee and there is no Guarantee of Cost (AGC Document 566)
Similar to A121™CMc–1991, this CM as constructor agreement is intended for use when the owner seeks a construction manager who will take on responsibility for providing the means and methods of construction. However, in A131CMc–2003 the construction manager does not provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). A131CMc–2003 employs the cost-plus-a-fee method, wherein the owner can monitor cost through periodic review of a control estimate that is revised as the project proceeds. The agreement divides the construction manager's services into two phases: the preconstruction phase and the construction phase, portions of which may proceed concurrently in order to fast track the process. A131CMc–2003 is coordinated for use with A201™–1997, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, and B151™–1997, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect.
