Prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC).

CMA-510, Notice of Award, is used by owner to notify the recipient that it is the successful bidder (as defined in the general conditions) and is awarded the contract. The Notice of Award also provides instructions on signing and returning the Agreement, furnishing required bonds and insurance documentation, and receiving copies of the contract documents. The Notice of Award is drafted for use in awarding a contract in a competitive bidding context. It could be revised by owner to function as a Notice of Award in a competitive or negotiated proposal context.

The EJCDC Construction Manager as Advisor (CMA) document series is intended for projects in which the Owner’s primary representative during construction will be the Construction Manager as Advisor (CMA). The series is an alternative to the use of the EJCDC Construction series, on projects in which the engineer that prepared the design subsequently serves as the owner’s construction contract administrator. The Construction Manager as Advisor series of documents clarify the respective roles and responsibilities of the engineer and construction manager as advisor recognizing the contributions each makes to the design and delivery of a construction project. The CMA series is comprised of contract documents, administrative forms, bonds, and bidding/procurement documents.

EJCDC includes the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the participation of more than fifteen other professional engineering design, construction, owner, legal, and risk management organizations.

EJCDC documents are delivered in Microsoft Word format (file extension *.docx). Microsoft Word is required if you wish to edit the files.
