TERMS AND CONDITIONS BOILERPLATE
Member Doherty presented a 64 -page American Institute of Architects (AIA) document standard
to the front of specification books, highlighted and changed to reflect the town of Sharon's needs
as determined by their town council. This document was intended to be used as a reference by
Members for their work on new standard contract language for Town employee -run projects.
Perusing the document, Member Doherty pointed out one issue: If a project is delayed, resulting
in the general clerk working on a Saturday, the contractor is contractually obligated to pay the
clerk.
Chairman Moore thanked Member Doherty for finding this sample document and forwarding it
to the MBC. As Chairman Moore emphasized to Committee Members, input from those familiar
with all project areas is valuable in accomplishing the goal of standard terms and conditions for
Mansfield.
