Regarding construction, we routinely help districts with negotiating and drafting contracts for the acquisition of real and personal property as well as the employment of architects, contract management firms, contractors, and other entities. We also work with the district in designing and planning facilities that meet all local, state and federal guidelines. Attorneys revise the standard Architect/Owner, the General Conditions and Owner/Contractor contracts to make them more “district friendly.”
