The industry is
facing unprecedented price swings and supply shortages that has made the risky
business of construction even more unpredictable. There is no magic bullet, but
a price escalation clause and other legal remedies are first thing you should
look to.
This timely webinar presented by the Director and Senior
Counsel of ConsensusDocs
will explore contractual remedies, including using the ConsensusDocs 200.1 Price
Escalation Clause as ways for owners and contractors alike to
mitigate the uncertain risk of price spikes and supply shortages.
You will also learn about
practical negotiation strategies and techniques applicable for public and
private work as well as contrasting strategies for existing contracted work vs.
work not yet under contract.
Objectives:
• Understand how a
price escalation clause can provide equitable relief for owner and
contractors.
• Understand how certain price
escalation clause can be written to be more or less acceptable to owners.
• Learn other contract negotiation strategies to
mitigate against price escalation including cost of the work; force majeure;
change of law; allowances; and the early procurement of materials should be
considered.
