As you may have noticed, the State Architect's Office has published an 1109 version of the Architect/Engineer Agreement, which includes changes that our office participated in, and which includes some input from our clients in response to our recent solicitation for input.  We have tailored the A/E Agreement and related documents to meet the needs of our higher education clients, and they are now posted on the Business Counsel Web site at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/ConstructionContractsChecklists

We understand that our advice regarding the proper use of a contractor's or A/E's legal name, disseminated December 9, 2009,  has resulted in significant concerns regarding our contract approval process. We apologize for any inconvenience this advice may have caused to you or your contractors or A/E's. Further, we are retracting the advice, and would like to clarify our approval policy.
