Contracts
Here is a representative sample of our experience in drafting and negotiating construction contracts.
We drafted an engineer-procure-construct (“EPC”) contract for a national contractor building a power plant in Washington State. We also advised the client concerning the meaning and relative importance of clauses in the contract.
We represented a national contractor in connection with the negotiation of a major construction contract, financing and loan package associated with construction of an $80 million hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina. The facility was constructed under a traditional design-bid-build format.
We represented a national general construction contractor in negotiations concerning the terms for a construction contract for a Ritz-Carlton hotel and resort.
We represented a national contractor in connection with the negotiation of a medium density fiberboard facility construction contract in Pennsylvania. The EPC contract was carefully negotiated to ensure that appropriate financing was in place for the single purpose entity that served as the owner. We then negotiated the closeout of the project, including several disputes that had arisen during the course of construction.
We revised and negotiated prime contract documents for a 44-story tower recently constructed in Atlanta.
We drafted owner-construction manager contracts, owner-general contractor contracts, and general contractor-subcontractor contracts, as well as associated forms (lien waivers, daily reports, etc.) for an Atlanta company which performs renovations for major national retailers throughout the country. The goal was to provide contract forms which the client could routinely use on its various projects around the country to provide for efficient project completion and avoid disputes.
In connection with our representation of the Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta, we have drafted contracts for use with contractors and with architectural/engineering firms. We have also provided advice regarding these forms and specific contract clauses.
We have consulted with the Puerto Rico Autoridad de Carreteras y Transportacion (similar to our DOT) in connection with their contract forms, bidding processes, and ongoing claims resolution process with contractors.
We represented the owner, a publicly-traded real estate investment trust, in connection with the preparation of a prototype design-build contract document and purchase order for use in constructing cold storage facilities throughout the United States. After preparing prototype contract documents, the owner then asked us to tailor the documents to particular transactions as it awarded construction contracts in different parts of the country.
We represented the owner (a national corporation) in drafting the construction contract for a 50-story headquarters building based in Atlanta, Georgia.
We represent numerous national specialty contractors such as mechanical and electrical subcontractors who routinely send subcontracts for us to review prior to executing them. The projects include facilities such as condominiums, hotels, schools, courthouses, major industrial projects, and power plants.
We drafted a number of construction contracts for a large industrial owner with plants in different parts of the United States, including several EPC contracts.
We drafted the prime contract construction documents on behalf of a developer for construction of a multi-million dollar shopping center for an environmentally-sensitive island resort.
We have prepared and revised extensively contracts for a major cement producer.
We have reviewed existing contract forms in use by the City of Atlanta in its extensive water and sewer improvement program (Clean Water Atlanta), making extensive revisions and re-working the forms to help create a single, consistent package of contract documents for use with all water and sewer improvement program projects going forward.
