The UC Facilities Manual provides standardized Design Contract Templates and Construction Contract Templates to ensure consistency, legal compliance, and efficient project delivery across all UC campuses.
The design contract templates govern agreements with architects, engineers, and other design professionals, outlining responsibilities such as design development, code compliance, cost estimating, and stakeholder coordination.
Meanwhile, the construction contract templates typically define the terms and conditions for building projects, including scope of work, payment structures, scheduling requirements, insurance and bonding provisions, and dispute resolution procedures, helping to manage risk and maintain quality control during construction.
Together, these templates streamline procurement, promote transparency, and align all parties with UC’s policies, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals.
