The Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC) has issued CCDC 2-2020, the standard stipulated price construction contract used extensively on projects across Canada. The OAA supports and endorses the concept of standard industry documents as produced by CCDC, and OAA Council endorsed its use on September 29, 2020 subject to the use of the Recommended Supplementary Conditions issued by the OAA.

The OAA Recommended Supplementary Conditions for the Stipulated Price Contract – CCDC 2-2020 document was developed in consultation and agreement with the Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA), and is in alignment with supplementary conditions that have been established previously in consultation with specific owner groups and industry partners. This document updates the previous supplementary conditions document which was jointly developed for use with CCDC 2-2008.

The OGCA has issued this same set of Recommended Supplementary Conditions to their members with the advice that they were developed in consultation with the OAA.
The publishing of these recommendations does not preclude the incorporation of additional items in order to address specific project conditions.

Significant changes from CCDC 2-2008 to CCDC 2-2020 include the relocation of some contractual provisions to Divisions 00 and 01 of the specification, the introduction of the concept of Ready-for-Takeover, and provisions relating to early occupancy. Practices must familiarize themselves with the changes in content and procedures by means of thorough review of CCDC 2-2020 Stipulate Price Contract, CCDC Master Specification for Division 01 ‘General Requirements’, CCDC 41-2020 CCDC Insurance Requirements, and the contents of Practice Tip PT.23.11 and the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) Recommended Supplementary Conditions for the Stipulated Price Contract – CCDC 2-2020
