Description

EJCDC® 2017 E-562, Labor and Materials Subcontract between Engineer and Engineer’s Subcontractor.  EJCDC® E-562 is intended for use when a subcontractor provides labor and materials to an engineering firm (“Engineer”).

The previous edition of EJCDC® E-562 was titled Subcontract between Engineer and Engineer’s Subcontractor.  The new and retitled 2017 edition of EJCDC® E-562  expands the application of the previous edition by emphasizing issues associated with delegating minor construction tasks.

Examples of work that might be performed under EJCDC® E-562 include:

• furnishing temporary field facilities for the Engineer’s use during a project;
• placement and maintenance of safety barriers to protect Engineer’s work during field studies;
• exploratory excavation;
• construction of monitoring facilities for Engineer’s use,
• and other limited labor and supply support for the Engineer.

EJCDC® E-562 Labor and Materials Subcontract between Engineer and Engineer’s Subcontractor is not intended for the delegation of professional services.  EJCDC publishes standard sub-agreements to contract for services including EJCDC® E-570, Agreement between Engineer and Consultant for Professional Services.
