Construction Site Contract Management Protocol:
1. Establish contract administration procedures, protocols, and workflows to manage contract documents, correspondence, changes, and disputes, and ensure compliance with contract terms, specifications, schedules, and deliverables throughout the project lifecycle.
2. Create contract templates, standard forms, and contract clauses to streamline contract drafting, negotiation, and execution processes, and address common issues, risks, and requirements related to scope changes, schedule delays, payment terms, and dispute resolution mechanisms in construction contracts.
3. Maintain accurate records, logs, and archives of contract documents, amendments, modifications, and correspondence in a centralized contract management system, database, or repository, and establish version control, access controls, and document tracking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized changes, deletions, or alterations to contract records.
4. Monitor contractor performance, deliverables, and compliance with contract requirements through progress reports, milestone reviews, and performance evaluations, and assess contractor performance against key performance indicators (KPIs), service level agreements (SLAs), and quality standards to identify performance issues, deficiencies, or deviations from contract specifications.
5. Facilitate contract closeout, final acceptance, and payment processes by conducting final inspections, punch lists, and completion audits, and ensuring all contract deliverables, warranties, and documentation are provided, reviewed, and accepted by the project owner, and resolve outstanding claims, disputes, or change orders prior to final payment and project handover.
