Process
Creating a GMP Contract
When selecting a contract type, you now have two options - Standard Contract Agreement (Single Stage Agreement) and Non-Standard Agreement (Multi-Stage Agreement/GMP).
Begin by navigating through the standard contract workflow. Select Non-Standard Agreement (Multi-Stage Agreement/GMP).
2. Upload or create contract template, go through the approval process, and execute the initial agreement. For additional guidance click on this help article.
3. Now that the initial agreement is executed, treat it like any regular contract. You can invoice against it as needed.
Accessing the Amendments Module
You can either click Go to Amendments to view the Amendments module or Create Amendment to create an amendment for the contract you have open.
The key feature is the amendments module. Here's how to use it:
Create an amendment, specifying if it's intermediate or final.
Amendments follow the same workflow as change orders. Fill out cost details and review the impact on the initial contract.
Execute the amendment.
Viewing Amendments
Amendments appear in the Contract Overview. This allows you to track changes to the initial contract and its value.
Budget Column
Notably, amendments populate within the Original Contract and Non-Contracted Invoices, distinct from change orders. This distinction is crucial for accurate reporting.
Executing the Final Amendment
When you're ready for the final GMP, follow these steps:
Create a final amendment, specifying the changes.
Execute the final amendment, locking in the GMP.
Reviewing the Original Contract
The final GMP contract is locked in stone and can only be amended via contract changes.
By following these steps, you ensure accurate contract management, improved visibility, and greater control over the full lifecycle of your GMP agreements.
