C171-2013

C171™–2013 is a standard form of agreement between owner and program manager for use in a program with more than one project. The program manager assists the owner in an advisory capacity, on matters that impact the program, during design and construction. The program manager’s basic services primarily relate to overseeing the development and implementation of the owner’s program and include creating a program management plan to describe the scope of the program and related requirements; managing program related information across the multiple projects in the program; developing a program-wide budget and schedule; and establishing quality control guidelines. The document has been prepared for use with B171™–2013, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design Manager for use in a Multiple Project Program, and B172™–2013, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Architect of Record Services. This integrated set of documents is appropriate for use on projects where the program manager only serves in the capacity of an Advisor to the owner. Although titled “for use in a Multiple Project Program,” C171, with appropriate modifications, is also suitable for use in a program that consists of only a single project.
