AIA Document A221™–2018 is a Work Order that provides the Contractor’s scope of Work, Contract Time, Contract Sum, and other terms pertinent to the specific Work Order. It is intended for use when the Owner and Contractor have entered into a Master Agreement setting forth the common terms and conditions applicable to all Work Orders. A221–2018 is not a stand-alone agreement and must be used in conjunction with a Master Agreement. A221-2018 is coordinated for use with AIA Document A121™–2018, Master Agreement between Owner and Contractor. The Master Agreement plus Work Order contracting method allows multiple scopes of Work to be issued quickly without the necessity to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the Contract. It may be used on projects with a stipulated sum; cost of the work plus a fee, with or without a guaranteed maximum price; or other payment method determined by the parties. If using a cost-plus payment method, the parties will also use A121 Exhibit A, Determination of the Cost of the Work.
When to use this document?
- Only use when the A121 Master Agreement has been established
- Not a stand-alone document
