Building Update with Robin

  • We discussed in detail the latest revisions to AIA contract with Keiter Builders. We are still a little concerned with wording regarding estimating inaccuracies:
    • On the bottom of page three (3) regarding the contingency, they have agreed to assume subcontractor defaults, but not estimating inaccuracies. This was to be expected. Contingencies are after all to be used to catch human errors/ discrepancies. But great that he is willing to take on the liability for subcontractor defaults.
    •  Again, with contingencies, he is willing to discuss items ahead of time, but as with the one bosses discussions from A201, has requested that the talking be done through the Architect to keep things consistent.
  • We did agree that Robin and Liv (architect) will be vigilant to any matter regarding contingencies and that we should proceed even though Keiter did not agree to these changes to the contract.
  • Motion to approve signing contract with Keiter Builders.
