802.4 Construction and Renovation Projects > $10,000 that do NOT have an Architect

Construction Agreement Between Owner and Contractor (Form 8.A)

Certificate of Insurance listing Bishop of Charlotte and location as additional insured

803 Construction Agreement Between Owner and Contractor - (Form 8.A)

When to use: For those construction and renovation projects that do not have an architect you may use the Construction Agreement between Owner and Contractor (Form 8.A) –UNALTERED.

Contractors must provide a Certificate of Insurance. No contracts will be signed without this. The Certificate of Insurance should include the participating parish/school/agency organization and the Bishop of Charlotte as an “Additional Named Insured.” Thirty (30) days' written notice of cancellation or any material change in policy must be given to the Diocese. All Certificates of Insurance should be submitted to the Director of the Diocesan Properties & Risk Management Office.

804 Owners Addendum to the Service Agreement - (Form 8.B)

When to use: The Owners Addendum to the Service Agreement (Form 8.B) is to be used for all service / vendor work and minor maintenance under $25,000 that does not require a full contract, but is agreed to by Purchase Order or Contractor's Bid Proposal.

805 Owners Addendum to the Construction Contract - (Form 8.C)

When to Use: The Owners Addendum to the Construction Contract (Form 8.C) is to be submitted along with all construction, renovation, and remodeling contracts > $10,000.

Note: For small contractor projects that are less than $10,000, it is not a requirement for a parish/school/agency to utilize the Owners Addendum to the Construction Contract (Form 8.C). However, the parish/school/agency must still verify that these contractors have liability insurance covering their construction operations at the parish/school/agency as defined and required above.

By attaching the Owners Addendum to the Construction Contract (Form 8.C) to the contract, your parish/school/agency will satisfy insurance requirements. The parish/school/agency should always verify that the contractor has named the Bishop of Charlotte c/o the parish/school/agency as an Additional Insured on their general liability insurance policy. It is not adequate for the parish/school/agency to obtain a Certificate of Insurance that names the parish/school/agency as a “certificate holder.” As a “certificate holder,” the parish/school/agency has no legal rights under a contractor's insurance policy.

Note: Since a contractor will have to make a specific request to their insurance company to get the parish/school/agency and the Bishop of Charlotte named as an Additional Insured, it is important to inform them of this requirement well in advance.

The required contract shall be a standard contract prepared by the American Institute of Architects, (AIA). Two of the most common standard contracts are the AIA Document A201 and the AIA Document A101. There are, however many other AIA contracts that may apply.

From an insurance and indemnification standpoint, many elements of the standard documents are written in favor of the contractor and/or sub-contractor. Fortunately, the contracts can be altered to make them more equitable for parishes/schools/agencies.

The Owners Required Changes to Standard AIA Contracts (Form 8.D) is to be attached to EVERY AIA contract and signed by the GC as accepted. Please note the changes are only intended to address insurance and indemnification concerns. Other areas of the contract should be reviewed on behalf of the parish/school/agency by the Diocesan Attorney and the Diocesan Properties & Risk Management Office.

807 Contracts with Architects and Engineers

American Institute of Architects (AIA) Standard Documents shall be used when retaining the services of Architects and Engineers. Proof of Professional Liability Insurance will be required.

808 Service and Minor Maintenance Contracts

The Small Contractor / Worker Hold Harmless / Indemnity Agreement (Form 8.E) is to be used for all service work and minor maintenance under $25,000 that does not require a full contract, but it agreed to by Purchase Order or Contractor’s Bid Proposal.

811.1 All projects where the total expenditure is greater than $5,000:

Written bids from at least three vendors/contractors are to be obtained prior to selecting a vendor/contractor. The vendor/contractor is to be selected on the basis of price, reputation, and commitment to finish the project within the time constraints.

Risk Management and Insurance Manual - March 2018 8.7

812 Use of Volunteers

As a general rule, the use of volunteers to perform construction services is discouraged. Personal safety, availability of required warrantees, lack of required insurance levels, as well as worker qualification issues, is a significant concern. Additionally, volunteer worker availability cannot be readily integrated into contractor scheduling. While the use of volunteers on construction projects is not absolutely forbidden, the Pastor should use good common sense and sound judgment before allowing volunteers to do any construction work. Please also see “Section 5: Volunteer Workers” for additional guidelines.
