A number of Nebraska school districts have been utilizing a construction contract that specifies the AIA A201 for the general conditions with many modifications. Brian Koerwitz, Woods & Aitken LLP has prepared a white paper entitled, “Modified AIA201 Doesn’t Make the Grade”. The white paper is designed to bring the modifications to your attention in hopes that you and your legal counsel will be aware of the changes and able to negotiate a more favorable terms. Rex Schultze, Attorney for many of NE school districts is the author of the modified A201 reviewed in the white paper. Be aware that these modifications might show up in other situations also. Email Jean to receive a copy of the white paper: jdpetsch@windstream.net
