An AGC MA  series addressing the immediate challenges that COVID-19 represents to the workforce, clients and employees. 

Please join us for our next webinar of the series presented by Ken Rubinstein of Preti Flaherty.

Managing COVID-19 Risk in the AIA A201 Contract Document 
The standard, unedited AIA A201-2017 is not built to handle a risk like COVID-19.  While most contractors are used to reviewing and revising AIA contracts to address typical risks, there are additional changes that contractors should consider to minimize COVID-19 related risks in new contracts.  This business level presentation provides specific recommended edits – and explains the rationale behind these recommended changes.  Written materials containing and explaining the suggested edits will be provided.
