Prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC)

The Labor and Materials Subcontract between Engineer and Engineer’s Subcontractor is intended for use when a subcontractor provides labor and materials to an engineering firm. The 2017 edition expands the application of the previous edition by emphasizing issues associated with delegating minor construction tasks.

Examples of work that might be performed include

• Furnishing temporary field facilities for the Engineer’s use during a project,
• Placement and maintenance of safety barriers to protect Engineer’s work during field studies,  
• Exploratory excavation,
• Construction of monitoring facilities for Engineer’s use, and
• Other limited labor and supply support for the Engineer.

Labor and Materials Subcontract between Engineer and Engineer’s Subcontractor is not intended for the delegation of professional services.  EJCDC publishes standard sub-agreements to contract for services including EJCDC® E-570, Agreement between Engineer and Consultant for Professional Services.

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 *.doc). Microsoft Word is required if you wish to edit the files.
