Summary
The AIA no longer publishes general RFPs for architectural or design-build services. Previously, G601™–1994 (Land Survey) and G602™–1993 (Geotechnical Services) were used but retired in 2017. They were replaced by C201™–2015 (Land Survey) and C202™–2015 (Geotechnical Engineering), which focus on consultant services rather than the RFP model. Additionally, AIA offers forms for obtaining contractor proposals to change the scope of existing contracts.
The AIA does not publish a general RFP either for architectural services or for a design-build project.
The AIA previously published the following two RFP forms to obtain particular engineering services:
G601™–1994, Request for Proposal–Land Survey;
G602™–1993, Request for Proposal–Geotechnical Services.
G601-1994 and G602-1993 were intended to be used as a request for proposal documents, which form an agreement between the Owner and Surveyor/Geotechnical Engineer when signed by both parties.
The AIA retired these two documents in 2017, and replaced them with:
C201™-2015, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services for Land Survey
C202™-2015, Standard Form of Consultant’s Services for Geotechnical Engineering
C201-2015 and C202-2015 no longer use the request for proposal approach and have been restructured to more accurately reflect current practice in the procurement of land surveying and geotechnical engineering services.
The AIA also publishes the following to obtain a proposal from a Contractor to change the scope of work in an existing contract:
G709™–2018, Proposal Request
