Collaboration is a winning strategy for architects, contractors, and engineers who are trying to earn big jobs. When firms combine their expertise to compete for a bid, the team they create becomes a more attractive option for owners of complex projects. The AIA’s pre-drafted C102™–2015, Standard Form of Teaming Agreement between Team Manager and Team Member for the Purpose of Responding to a Solicitation and Pursuing a Project, defines every party’s role on the proposal and their potential role on the project.

Collaboration is a winning strategy for architects, contractors, and engineers who are trying to earn big jobs. When firms combine their expertise to compete for a bid, the team they create becomes a more attractive option for owners of complex projects. The AIA’s pre-drafted C102™–2015, Standard Form of Teaming Agreement between Team Manager and Team Member for the Purpose of Responding to a Solicitation and Pursuing a Project, defines every party’s role on the proposal and their potential role on the project. The contract requires team members to negotiate project agreements up front.

Then, when the team is awarded a project, the team manager contracts directly with the owner, and the team members’ project agreements with the team manager automatically take effect. C102™–2015 is a versatile document that can be used for responses to RFPs, design and design-build competitions, and public-private partnerships.
