EJCDC® C-522, Contract for Construction of a Small Project, a new contract document for use on smaller, less complex projects, such as water and wastewater utility work, roads and paving, drainage improvements, and site development. EJCDC® recommends that C-522 be used only where the construction cost is $500,000 or less, and the scheduled duration is less than 12 months.
EJCDC published the new C-522 agreement at the request of EJCDC contract users, recognizing that some construction projects are relatively simple and may be conducted with a relatively concise construction contract.
