SUMMARY:How Should Construction Contract Approach Potential Tariffs?
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteJoin AIA Tristate for an engaging conversation with construction attorneys and architects about how to safeguard your projects\, firm and clients against economic challenges. We’ll delve into standard contract clauses\, common law protections\, contract negotiations and project controls in a volatile environment. Our panel will offer diverse prospectives on the challenges and solutions in these areas. Tune in to discover best practices for navigating in today’s economically challenging built environments. \nTariffs are taxes levied on goods imported into the U.S.\, usually paid by the importer at the port of entry. These tariffs increase the costs of imported materials\, such as those used in construction\, potentially leading to higher project expenses. Standard construction contracts typically hold contractors responsible for any tax changes\, including tariffs\, without compensation for increased costs. Relief for tariffs is rarely included in force majeure or commercial impracticability clauses\, and while some federal contracts might allow for equitable adjustments under certain conditions\, this is not a certainty. Those in the role of Project and Contract Management should consider negotiating specific contract clauses to manage tariff-related risks effectively. \nPanel Members:\nTwo Attorneys from Offit Kurman are:\nJeff Bright | jeff.bright@offitkurman.com | Harrisburg\, PA Office\nMark Johnson | mark.johnson@offitkurman.com | Los Angeles\, CA Office\nMichael Spinelli\, JD\, AIA | mwspinelli@csfllc.com | Hauppauge\, NY Office | AIA NYS\nEric Booth\, AIA | ebooth@desmone.com | Pittsburgh\, PA | AIA PA\nChristopher Brand | cbrand@rscarchitects.com | | AIA NJ
