Synopsis.
AIA Document F102™–2023 is a maintenance agreement between a client and a maintenance contractor to perform as needed maintenance work. It is intended for use when the parties wish to include both the terms and the scope in a standalone agreement. As needed maintenance work includes work associated with building repair, or simple building improvements (e.g., roof repairs, façade painting, parking lot striping, HVAC repairs, small building upgrades, or tenant improvements). The F102-2023 prompts the parties to include both the terms and the scope of the maintenance work.

Parties. Parties to the Agreement should be identified using the full address and legal name under which the Agreement is to be executed, including a designation of the legal status of both parties (sole proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association, limited partnership or corporation [general, limited liability, closed or professional], etc.).

Article 1 Maintenance Work and Party Representatives
- 1.1.2 Describe the scope of the Maintenance Work the Contractor will perform, including objectives, deliverables and specific work activities. Additionally, list any exhibits, attachments, drawings or specifications that describe the Maintenance Work.
- 1.1.3 Insert the calendar date for commencement and completion of the Maintenance Work.
- 1.1.4 If applicable, insert any provisions for liquidated damages relating to failure to complete on time. Liquidated damages are not a penalty to be inflicted on the Contractor, but must bear an actual and reasonably estimable relationship to the Client’s loss if the maintenance work is not completed on time. If liquidated damages are to be assessed because delayed construction will result in actual loss to the Client, the amount of damages due for each day lost should be entered here. Factors such as confidentiality or the need to inform subcontractors about the amount of liquidated damages will help determine the placement of such language.
If a provision for liquidated damages is included, it should be carefully drafted by the Client’s attorney. Such a provision may be based on the following sample language:
The Contractor and the Contractor’s surety, if any, shall be liable for and shall pay the Client the sums hereinafter stipulated as liquidated damages for each calendar day of delay until the Maintenance Work is complete: ________ ($__).
