A contract enables people or legal entities to acquire something under a set of rules outlined in a legally enforceable document. This document, called a contract, has to be agreed upon by the two parties.  When both parties approve of the promise or promises, restrictions, and guidelines within the document it then becomes legally enforceable by law.  The main purpose of a contract is to minimize any conflict between the parties involved in the contract.

In order for a document to become a contract it must meet the following elements:

  • It must include at least two competent parties.

  • The contract must be in proper form and contain legal subject matter.

  • Consideration must be present.

  • There must be an offer and acceptance.

  • It must be a mutual agreement.

  • The contract must be in an enforceable form.

Failure to meet any of these requirement renders a contract invalid.

Roger Johnson Consulting provides contract writing in the following categories:

  • Major Works contracts

  • Operational services

  • Local Minor Works and Service contracts

  • Joint Venture Contracts

Major works contracts are used to contract consulting and operational services where the contractor supplies expertise/skill, and where required minor office and/or engineering/scientific equipment to accomplish specified work where estimated costs are greater than $50,000 and/or insurance/bonding requirements exist.

Minor works contracts are used to contract works where the contractor supplies labour, materials and equipment to accomplish specified work to a maximum amount of $25,000 and $50,000 for road and bridgework.

Service contracts are used in consulting and operational services where the contractor provides mostly labour to perform an operational service to a maximum of estimated cost of $25,000

Joint Venture contacts define the roles and responsibilities of each partner of the joint venture.
