PLEASE NOTE: This is a physical copy of the contract, not a download.

This document represents the collaborative efforts of The American Institute of Architects and The Associated General Contractors of America. AIA designates this document as A121CMc-1991 and AGC designates it as AGC 565. A121CMc 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 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. Check Section 9 of B511-2001, Guide to Amendments to Owner-Architect Agreement for guidance in this regard.

Caution: To avoid confusion and ambiguity, do not use this construction management document with any other AIA or AGC construction management document.
