A Better Way? Negotiating Integrated Project

Delivery Contracts and Insurance Agreements

JOIN US IN AN ENGAGING SEMINAR FORMAT FOR THIS LEAN LEARNING OPPORTUNITY

Presented by Jeff Follett and Brian Henninger of Foley Hoag LLP, Jim Evans of Albert Risk Management, and Kurt Dettman of Constructive Dispute Resolutions

After developing a track record on the West Coast, "Integrated Project Delivery" is finally making inroads into New England. The concept is simple enough: use a single contract among the owner, architect and contractor to form a team in which everyone has an incentive to collaborate and the project's overall success impacts everyone's bottom line. But turning that concept into reality involves addressing a number of real world challenges, including how to structure commercial terms and how to find insurance coverage that fits a collaborative project approach.

Jeff and Brian will begin this two-part workshop with a focus on contracting issues. How does negotiating the terms of an IPD project differ from negotiating any other deal? What are the differences among the various competing IPD contract forms, and do those differences really matter? And if your team members aren't ready to take the full IPD plunge, are there still ways to test the waters on a more traditionally-structured project by adopting some of the incentives and procedures of IPD contracts?

Jim and Kurt will then explain the unique insurance issues posed by IPD projects and how the insurance industry is working to address those issues. Under current IPD contractual arrangements, there often is an exception from “no blame” decisions and liability caps when there are claims covered by insurance. This creates a tension between the underlying collaborative principles of IPD and the fault based principles of traditional insurance products. Jim will cover how IPD projects are being insured now, the issues that traditional insurance products creates when superimposed over IPD contractual relationships, and changes that could be made to current insurance products that can make them more effective for IPD projects.
