G-Series: Contract Administration and Project Management Forms

AIA Document G201–2013, Project Digital Data Protocol Form AIA Document G201™–2013 is a form that is coordinated for use with AIA Document E203™–2013, Building Information Modeling and Digital Data Protocol Exhibit. Its purpose is to document the agreed upon protocols and procedures that will govern the transmission, use and exchange of digital data on a project, such as electronic project communications, submittals, contract documents and payment documents. G201–2013 is not designed to address Building Information Modeling protocols and procedures, which is the purpose of AIA Document G202™–2013, Project Building Information Modeling Protocol Form.

AIA Document G202–2013, Project Building Information Modeling Protocol Form AIA Document G202™–2013 is a form that is coordinated for use with AIA Document E203™–2013, Building Information Modeling and Digital Data Protocol Exhibit. Its purpose is to document the agreed upon protocols and procedures that will govern the development, transmission, use and exchange of building information models on a project. It establishes the requirements for model content at five levels of development, and the authorized uses of the model content at each level of development. Through a table completed for each project, AIA Document G202–2013 assigns authorship of each model element by project milestone. G202 defines the extent to which model users may rely on model content, clarifies model ownership, and sets forth building information modeling standards and file formats.

G601–1994, Request for Proposal—Land Survey AIA Document G601™–1994 allows owners to request proposals from a number of surveyors based on information deemed necessary by the owner and architect. G601–1994 allows owners to create a request for proposal through checking appropriate boxes and filling in project specifics, thus avoiding the costs associated with requesting unnecessary information. G601–1994 may be executed to form the agreement between the owner and the land surveyor once an understanding is reached.

G602–1993, Request for Proposal—Geotechnical Services Similar in structure and format to AIA Document G601™–1994, AIA Document G602™–1993 can form the agreement between the owner and the geotechnical engineer. It allows the owner to tailor the proposal request to address the specific needs of the project. In consultation with the architect, the owner establishes the parameters of service required and evaluates submissions based on criteria such as time, cost, and overall responsiveness to the terms set forth in the request for proposal. When an acceptable submission is selected, the owner signs the document in triplicate, returning one copy to the engineer and one to the architect, thus forming the agreement between owner and geotechnical engineer.

G612–2001, Owner’s Instructions to the Architect AIA Document G612™–2001 is a questionnaire, drafted to elicit information from the owner regarding the nature of the construction contract. AIA Document G612–2001 is divided into three parts: Part A relates to contracts, Part B relates to insurance and bonds, and Part C deals with bidding procedures. The order of the parts follows the project’s chronological sequence to match the points in time when the information will be needed. Because many of the items relating to the contract will have some bearing on the development of construction documents, it is important to place Part A in the owner’s hands at the earliest possible phase of the project. The owner’s responses to Part A will lead to a selection of the appropriate delivery method and contract forms, including the general conditions. Part B naturally follows after selection of the general conditions because insurance and bonding information is dependent upon the type of general conditions chosen. Answers to Part C will follow as the contract documents are further developed.

G701–2001, Change Order AIA Document G701™–2001 is for implementing changes in the work agreed to by the owner, contractor, and architect. Execution of a completed AIA Document G701–2001 indicates agreement upon all the terms of the change, including any changes in the contract sum (or guaranteed maximum price) and contract time. The form provides space for the signatures of the owner, architect and contractor, and for a complete description of the change.

G701S–2001, Change Order, Subcontractor Variation AIA Document G701S™–2001 modifies AIA Document G701™—2001 for use by subcontractors. Modifications to G701–2001 are shown as tracked changes revisions—that is, additional material is underlined; deleted material is crossed out. NOTE: G701S–2001 is not available in print, but is available in AIA Contract Documents® software and from AIA Documents on Demand®.

G701CMa–1992, Change Order, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition AIA Document G701™CMa–1992 is for implementing changes in the work agreed to by the owner, contractor, construction manager adviser, and architect. Execution of a completed AIA Document G701™–2001 indicates agreement upon all the terms of the change, including any changes in the Contract Sum (or Guaranteed Maximum Price) and Contract Time. It provides space for the signatures of the owner, contractor, construction manager adviser, and architect, and for a complete description of the change. The major difference between AIA Documents G701CMa–1992 and G701–2001 is that the signature of the construction manager adviser, along with those of the owner, architect and contractor, is required to validate the change order.

G702–1992, Application and Certificate for Payment AIA Documents G702™–1992, Application and Certificate for Payment, and G703™–1992, Continuation Sheet, provide convenient and complete forms on which the contractor can apply for payment and the architect can certify that payment is due. The forms require the contractor to show the status of the contract sum to date, including the total dollar amount of the work completed and stored to date, the amount of retainage (if any), the total of previous payments, a summary of change orders, and the amount of current payment requested. AIA Document G703–1992 breaks the contract sum into portions of the work in accordance with a schedule of values prepared by the contractor as required by the general conditions. NOTE: The AIA does not publish a standard schedule of values form.

AIA Document G702–1992 serves as both the contractor’s application and the architect’s certification. Its use can expedite payment and reduce the possibility of error. If the application is properly completed and acceptable to the architect, the architect’s signature certifies to the owner that a payment in the amount indicated is due to the contractor. The form also allows the architect to certify an amount different than the amount applied for, with explanation provided by the architect.

G702S–1992, Application and Certificate for Payment, Subcontractor Variation AIA Document G702S™–1992 modifies AIA Document G702™–1992 for use by subcontractors. Modifications to G702–1992 are shown as tracked changes revisions—that is, additional material is underlined; deleted material is crossed out. NOTE: G702S–1992 is not available in print, but is available in AIA Contract Documents® software and from AIA Documents on Demand®.

G703–1992, Continuation Sheet AIA Documents G702™–1992, Application and Certificate for Payment, and G703™–1992, Continuation Sheet, provide convenient and complete forms on which the contractor can apply for payment and the architect can certify that payment is due. The forms require the contractor to show the status of the contract sum to date, including the total dollar amount of the work completed and stored to date, the amount of retainage (if any), the total of previous payments, a summary of change orders, and the amount of current payment requested. AIA Document G703–1992 breaks the contract sum into portions of the work in accordance with a schedule of values prepared by the contractor as required by the general conditions. NOTE: The AIA does not publish a standard schedule of values form.

G703S–1992, Continuation Sheet, Subcontractor Variation AIA Document G703S™–1992 modifies AIA Document G703™—1992 for use by subcontractors. Modifications to G703—1992 are shown as tracked changes revisions—that is, additional material is underlined; deleted material is crossed out. NOTE: G703S–1992 is not available in print, but is available in AIA Contract Documents® software and from AIA Documents on Demand®.

G704–2000, Certificate of Substantial Completion AIA Document G704™–2000 is a standard form for recording the date of substantial completion of the work or a designated portion thereof. The contractor prepares a list of items to be completed or corrected, and the architect verifies and amends this list. If the architect finds that the work is substantially complete, the form is prepared for acceptance by the contractor and the owner, and the list of items to be completed or corrected is attached. In AIA Document G704–2000, the parties agree on the time allowed for completion or correction of the items, the date when the owner will occupy the work or designated portion thereof, and a description of responsibilities for maintenance, heat, utilities and insurance.

G704CMa–1992, Certificate of Substantial Completion, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition AIA Document G704™CMa–1992 serves the same purpose as AIA Document G704™–2000, except that this document expands responsibility for certification of substantial completion to include both the architect and the construction manager.

G704DB–2004, Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion of a Design-Build Project AIA Document G704™DB–2004 expires on December 31, 2015, and is replaced AIA Document G744–2014.

G705–2001 (formerly G805–2001), List of Subcontractors AIA Document G705™–2001 is a form for listing subcontractors and others proposed to be employed on a project as required by the bidding documents. It is to be filled out by the contractor and returned to the architect for submission to the owner. NOTE: G805–2001 expired in 2009.

G706–1994, Contractor’s Affidavit of Payment of Debts and Claims The contractor submits this affidavit with the final request for payment, stating that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the work for which the owner might be responsible has been paid or otherwise satisfied. AIA Document G706™–1994 requires the contractor to list any indebtedness or known claims in connection with the construction contract that have not been paid or otherwise satisfied. The contractor may also be required to furnish a lien bond or indemnity bond to protect the owner with respect to each exception.

G706A–1994, Contractor’s Affidavit of Release of Liens AIA Document G706A™–1994 supports AIA Document G706™–1994 in the event that the owner requires a sworn statement of the contractor stating that all releases or waivers of liens have been received. In such event, it is normal for the contractor to submit AIA Documents G706–1994 and G706A–1994 along with attached releases or waivers of liens for the contractor, all subcontractors, and others who may have lien rights against the owner’s property. The contractor is required to list any exceptions to the sworn statement provided in G706A–1994, and may be required to furnish to the owner a lien bond or indemnity bond to protect the owner with respect to such exceptions.

G707–1994, Consent of Surety to Final Payment AIA Document G707™–1994 is intended for use as a companion to AIA Document G706™–1994, Contractor’s Affidavit of Payment of Debts and Claims, on construction projects where the contractor is required to furnish a bond. By obtaining the surety’s approval of final payment to the contractor and its agreement that final payment will not relieve the surety of any of its obligations, the owner may preserve its rights under the bond.

G707A–1994, Consent of Surety to Final Reduction in or Partial Release of Retainage This is a standard form for use when a surety company is involved and the owner/contractor agreement contains a clause whereby retainage is reduced during the course of the construction project. When duly executed, AIA Document G707A™–1994 assures the owner that such reduction or partial release of retainage does not relieve the surety of its obligations.

G709–2001, Work Changes Proposal Request This form is used to obtain price quotations required in the negotiation of change orders. AIA Document G709™–2001 is not a change order or a direction to proceed with the work. It is simply a request to the contractor for information related to a proposed change in the construction contract. AIA Document G709–2001 provides a clear and concise means of initiating the process for changes in the work.

G710–1992, Architect’s Supplemental Instructions AIA Document G710™–1992 is used by the architect to issue additional instructions or interpretations or to order minor changes in the work. It is intended to assist the architect in performing its obligations as interpreter of the contract documents in accordance with the owner/architect agreement and the general conditions of the contract for construction. AIA Document G710–1992 should not be used to change the contract sum or contract time. It is intended to help the architect perform its services with respect to minor changes not involving adjustment in the contract sum or contract time. Such minor changes are authorized under Section 7.4 of AIA Document A201™–2007.

G711–1972, Architect’s Field Report The architect’s project representative can use this standard form to maintain a concise record of site visits or, in the case of a full-time project representative, a daily log of construction activities.

G712–1972, Shop Drawing and Sample Record AIA Document G712™–1972 is a standard form by which the architect can log and monitor shop drawings and samples. The form allows the architect to document receipt of the contractor’s submittals, subsequent referrals of the submittals to the architect’s consultants, action taken, and the date returned to the contractor. AIA Document G712–1972 can also serve as a permanent record of the chronology of the submittal process.

G714–2007, Construction Change Directive AIA Document G714™–2007 is a directive for changes in the Work for use where the owner and contractor have not reached an agreement on proposed changes in the contract sum or contract time. AIA Document G714–2007 was developed as a directive for changes in the work which, if not expeditiously implemented, might delay the project. Upon receipt of a completed G714–2007, the contractor must promptly proceed with the change in the work described therein.

G714CMa–1992, Construction Change Directive, Construction Manager-Adviser Edition AIA Document G714™CMa–1992 serves the same purpose as AIA Document G714™–2007, except that this document expands responsibility for signing construction change directives to include both the architect and the construction manager.

G715–1991, Supplemental Attachment for ACORD Certificate of Insurance 25-S AIA Document G715™–1997 is intended for use in adopting ACORD Form 25-S to certify the coverage required of contractors under AIA Document A201™–2007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. Since the ACORD certificate does not have space to show all the coverages required in AIA Document A201–2007, the Supplemental Attachment form should be completed, signed by the contractor’s insurance representative, and attached to the ACORD certificate.

G716–2004, Request for Information (RFI) AIA Document G716™–2004 provides a standard form for an owner, architect and contractor to request further information from each other during construction. The form asks the requesting party to list the relevant drawing, specification or submittal reviewed in attempting to find the information. Neither the request nor the response received provides authorization for work that increases the cost or time of the project.

G732–2009 (formerly G702CMa–1992), Application and Certificate for Payment, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition AIA Document G732™–2009 serves the same purposes as AIA Document G702™–1992. The standard form AIA Document G703™–1992, Continuation Sheet, is appropriate for use with G732–2009. NOTE: G702CMa–1992 expired in 2010.

G736–2009 (formerly G722CMa–1992), Project Application and Project Certificate for Payment, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition Use AIA Document G736™–2009 with AIA Document G737™–2009, Summary of Contractors’ Applications for Payment. These forms are designed for a project where a construction manager is employed as an adviser to the owner, but not as a constructor, and where multiple contractors have separate, direct agreements with the owner.

Each contractor submits separate AIA Documents G732™–2009 and G703™–1992, payment application forms, to the construction manager-adviser, who collects and compiles them to complete G736–2009. AIA Document G737–2009 serves as a summary of the contractors’ applications with totals being transferred to AIA Document G736–2009. The construction manager-adviser can then sign G736, have it notarized, and submit it along with the G737 to the architect. Both the architect and the construction manager must certify the payment amount. NOTE: G722CMa–1992 expired in 2010.

G737–2009 (formerly G723CMa–1992), Summary of Contractors’ Applications for Payment, Construction Manager as Adviser Edition Use AIA Document G736™–2009 with AIA Document G737™–2009, Summary of Contractors’ Applications for Payment.

G742–2015, Application and Certificate for Payment for a Design-Build Project AIA Documents G742™–2015, Application and Certificate for Payment for a Design-Build Project, and G743™–2015, Continuation Sheet for a Design-Build Project, provide convenient and complete forms on which the design-builder can apply for payment and the owner can certify the amount due. The forms require the design-builder to show the status of the contract sum to date, including the total dollar amount of the work completed and stored to date, the amount of retainage (if any), the total of previous payments, a summary of change orders, and the amount of current payment requested. AIA Document G743–2015 breaks the contract sum into portions of the work in accordance with a schedule of values prepared by the design-builder as required by Section 9.2 of AIA Document A141-2014. NOTE: The AIA does not publish a standard schedule of values form.

AIA Document G742–2015 serves as both the design-builder’s application and the owner’s certification of the amount due. Its use can expedite payment and reduce the possibility of error. The form also allows the owner to certify an amount different than the amount applied for, with explanation provided by the owner.

G742C–2015, Application and Certificate for Payment for a Design-Build Project, Contractor Variation AIA Document G742C™–2015 modifies AIA Document G742™–2015 for use by Contractors submitting an application for payment to the Design-Builder.

NOTE: G743S–2015 is not available in print, but is available in AIA Contract Documents® software and from AIA Documents on Demand®.

G744–2014, Certificate of Substantial Completion for a Design-Build Project Because of the nature of design-build contracting, the project owner assumes many of the construction contract administration duties performed by the architect in a traditional project. Because there is not an architect to certify substantial completion, AIA Document G744–2014 requires the owner to inspect the project to determine whether the work is substantially complete in accordance with the design-build documents and to identify the date when it occurs. AIA Document G744–2014 is a variation of AIA Document G704™–2000 and provides a standard form for the owner to certify the date of substantial completion.

G745–2015, Change Directive for a Design-Build Project AIA Document G745™–2015 is a directive for changes in the Work for use where the owner and design-builder have not reached an agreement on proposed changes in the contract sum or contract time.
