The OGCA has continued to push back on the buyers of construction that maintain positions that are fixed and attempt to download risks onto our members. This has been accomplished when our members provide us with language that they find questionable or problematic in tenders. The OGCA then responds accordingly and provides a letter to the buyer of construction highlighting the vexatious language, but also provides possible suggested language to facilitate better terms and conditions for our contactors. These letters have been very effective in changing the tone and content in tenders and ultimately benefiting all those bidding said project.
