EJCDC Announces Release of EJCDC® E-580, Teaming Agreement to Pursue Joint Professional Services Opportunity, 2024 Edition
Alexandria, VA – EJCDC is pleased to announce the release of the EJCDC® E-580, Teaming Agreement to Pursue Joint Professional Services Opportunity, 2024 Edition.
EJCDC® E-580, Teaming Agreement to Pursue Joint Professional Services Opportunity, is intended for a collaboration between two design firms (for example, two engineering firms, or an engineering firm and an architectural services firm; in certain cases, an individual design professional might be one of the team members) that have decided to join together to pursue an opportunity to obtain work. Such collaboration is often necessary because a single firm (or individual engineer) may not have adequate marketing resources, professional licensing, technical skill sets, available staff, or familiarity with the specific client or market, to pursue and land the assignment (or to subsequently perform the services) on its own.
EJCDC® E-580, Teaming Agreement to Pursue Joint Professional Services Opportunity, 2024 Edition remains consistent with the overall content, risk allocations, and philosophical approach of the document’s prior version. It has been updated for consistency with the most recent editions of EJCDC’s other professional services agreements and teaming documents, including terminology.
E-580 2024 includes updated user guidance and notes and clarifies team expectations relative to mutual cooperation, exclusivity and right to cure in event of default.
The EJCDC® E-580 is currently available for purchase in the online store at EJCDC.org. Members of EJCDC’s sponsoring organizations (the American Council of Engineering Companies, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the American Society of Civil Engineers – Construction Institute) can also purchase this document directly from those organizations starting today at a 50% discount.
Over the last 50 years, Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC®) has developed and updated fair and objective standard documents specifically written for infrastructure projects in the United States. Each EJCDC® Contract Document is systematically prepared, reviewed and analyzed by committees of experienced engineering design and construction professionals, owners, contractors, professional liability and risk management experts, with the participation and advice of legal counsel.
