On April 3, 2011 the State Architect's Office (SAO) posted the new March 2011 version of the construction contracts and related forms.  You can see all the changes that were made to the forms in the Version Control Document, M140-01-00 00 02-VC, posted on the SAO's website at http://das.ohio.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=vuRgL9V9t4c%3d&tabid=363.

The main substantive changes relate to some new Business Processes in OAKS CI, the use of field supervision labor for Change Orders, and the new ethics language, which is discussed below.  Tailored versions of the construction contracts are now available on our website for use by two year and four year institutions.  All other construction documents should be downloaded from the State Architect's Office website.
