When To Use
Use C422™ when an architect and consultant have an existing C421 Master Agreement and need to authorize a specific project engagement. This document is suitable for various compensation methods.
What It Does
C422 is a Service Order that provides the consultant’s scope of services and other terms pertinent to the specific Service Order. It is intended for use when the architect and consultant have entered into a Master Agreement setting forth the common terms and conditions applicable to all Service Orders. C422 incorporates by reference a preexisting owner-architect agreement known as the Prime Agreement. It issues the project's scope, schedule, and fee without renegotiating master terms.
Additional Information
Not a stand-alone agreement; must be used in conjunction with C421. Use of C422 plus a Master Agreement creates a contract, referred to as the Service Agreement, that includes both the terms and the scope of services.
