"I don't believe I've ever seen a written legal opinion of a contract.
I guess they exist. When I was on a school board our solicitor would
review contracts and suggest changes. But a written opinion, nope."
I said my vote was dependent on legal sign-off and not legal opinion.
Randy Bauer says the architect contract is all boilerplate and I should
give other examples of architect contracts to prove my point. Sorry but
I have served on the EB for almost ten years and this is the only
architect contract we have engaged during that period (as far as I
know).
What's boilerplate? A statement that the architect is not responsible
for his own negligence? A statement that late payments to him will be
subject to a 1 1/2% per month interest charge. Maybe they are
boilerplate for that area. A good lawyer should be able to quickly
examine the contract and if it is simple boilerplate give a go-ahead by
signing-off on it.
