Product Overview
Seals for the CCDC 15 – 2013 Design Services Contract between Design-Builder and Consultant
About the Contract
CCDC 15 is a standard contract between the Design-Builder and Consultant to perform the Design Services required under a design-build contract between the Owner and Design-Builder.
Based on an approach similar to standard client-consultant contracts (i.e. RAIC Document Six and ACEC 31), CCDC 15 lists all the basic design services that are considered necessary in a design-build contract. These design services are listed in a Schedule, which allows flexibility for the Design-Builder and Consultant to establish the scope of services and compensation method.
CCDC 15 also includes a schedule that lists typical additional design services that the Consultant may be required to provide.
The important terms and conditions addressed in CCDC 15 include:
- Copyright and use of documents;
- Design-Builder’s roles and responsibilities in supplying information to the Consultant and reviewing design;
- Consultant’s roles and responsibilities in providing Design Services, engaging Subconsultants, and coordinating Other Consultants;
- Design to meet the Construction Budget;
- Limitation of liability for Design Services.
