Hello @sunmoonstarrays, so glad to know that you love our webinar series! We use GoTo Webinar. :)

Hi Donna, there is sound on our end. Maybe check your audio and the mute/unmute button on the video?

Hi Edgard, We cannot give legal advice or advice specific to surety underwriting. There may be several factors that would impact the answer to this question, including the specific nature and terms of the project solicitation, including whether or not there are any statutory or other legal requirements that might preclude a multiple-bid bond situation. The answer may also depend on the nature and underwriting practices of the Surety(ies) being asked to provide the bid bond(s). If the company has limited bonding capacity, it may be difficult to get a licensed surety to underwrite the excess capacity (undercapitalized liability). This is something that requires legal analysis and specific input from the putative bonding companies. You might want to reach out to competent legal counsel and also inquire with a surety bond producer Home - National Association of Surety Bond Producers (nasbp.org). All the best, The ACD Team

Hi Liudmyla, We cannot give specific recommendations, but we can explain how the forms work. So, you may number the change orders however you want. That said, the change orders generally go in sequence from first to second and so on. A change order is also for changes to which all the parties agree, so if a change order is declined then that may throw the rest of the forms out of sequence. Again, it is up to you to decide how best to deal with this issue. Our program allows you to import data from the previous change order when creating a new change order. So if you are creating your second change order, you may import from the first and that will bring the numbers forward. You may have to adjust for situations where a change order gets declined for some reason. Hope this helps! Feel free to contact us at [email protected] or 800-942-7732 option 2 if you have any more questions. Best, the ACD Team

We're happy you found it valuable! Feel free to check out more resources on our blog: learn.aiacontracts.com/

Hi Pamela, Let's chat! Please email us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to discuss any questions or concerns you have.

I agree that it's a joke to pay that much for a one time use document. Might have to build it into the price of your project.

Hi@@natron1776, We truly value your feedback and concerns about our pricing. We'd like to shed some light on why our services are priced the way they are. Behind our offerings is a dedicated team of experienced attorneys who work tirelessly to craft and update our contract templates. Their expertise ensures that you're equipped with legally sound documents that protect your interests and foster transparent business relationships. While we understand pricing can be a consideration, investing in our legal team adds substantial value to what you receive. The contracts they create not only comply with the latest regulations but also provide a solid foundation for your business growth.

Hi Thomas, we find most of our customers choose to use the editable version of our documents due to the flexibility they provide. While the non-editable purchase option has been a staple offering for quite some time, the platform that supports it does not render an ideal user experience, which is the primary factor driving this change. State-specific documents in the non-editable format, however, will continue to be available. If you have any questions about this change, please contact us at [email protected], or call 1-800-942-7732, Option 1. All the best,

I see it does need to be listed but am I including the change order amount to be listed within the total and completed to date column ?

Hi@@melanieortega9560, You may list each change order as a line item on the Continuation Sheet (G703, G703S, etc.), and then fill out the “Change Order Summary” table at the bottom of the payment application (G702, G702S, etc.). So, the idea is that you treat a change order just like any other line item of work, putting it on its own row and filling it out appropriately for that item (Scheduled Value, Work Completed, etc.). It will add into the grand totals that go into your payment application as well. Cheers!

Great point. Yes, most (if not all) owner/contractor agreements in the AIA Contract Documents library have prompts where the parties can (and should) enumerate the drawings and specifications that will be part of the Contract Documents.

Most welcome!

Hi David, we're sorry to hear about your frustrations. We find most of our customers choose to use the editable version of our documents due to the flexibility they provide. While the non-editable purchase option has been a staple offering for quite some time, the platform that supports it does not render an ideal user experience, which is the primary factor driving this change. State-specific documents in the non-editable format, however, will continue to be available. Our editable contracts and forms will remain available for single, one-time use, or as part of an unlimited annual subscription. Our editable contract template includes added flexibility to meet your specific business needs, including the ability to easily change legal terms and parameters to satisfy the requirements set forth by the insurance and bonding companies tied to your various projects. You can also edit, save, and share a working draft before generating a final document. In addition, the editable template gives you the ability to import calculations and add images, allowing you to build a more appealing, robust document. If you have any questions about this change, please contact us at [email protected], or call 1-800-942-7732, Option 1. We sincerely appreciate you as a customer and would like to express our gratitude.

Welcome

Hi Rick, You can edit a contact in the “Contacts” tab. Keep in mind that if you add a Contact to the Project Team and then edit that Contact, those changes are not retroactive. You will have to go to the Project Team, delete, and re-add that Contact to get the information to update. If you have any other questions, please contact us at [email protected], or call 1-800-942-7732, Option 1. Thank you

Thank you, Juelz!

Hi Operation Hotshot, You can request a deposit just like any other line item. While there is not a specific area in the payment application/continuation sheet forms for a deposit, you may list it as a separate line item/row in the Continuation Sheet. You could, for example, use the “Stored Material” column on that row for a deposit (instead of using the Work Completed columns). Then the totals will go into the payment application. If you have any other questions, please contact us at [email protected], or call 1-800-942-7732, Option 1. Thank you
