Ohio SB262 mandates that construction contracts note any variations from standard industry forms.

Ohio SB262 amends sections of the Revised Code to require public authorities to note any variations from standard industry forms in construction contracts. This includes contracts for construction management services with a construction manager at risk, design-build services, and subcontracts. The bill mandates that any changes to the standard form must be clearly indicated by striking through and underlining changes or by cross-referencing supplemental conditions. Failure to properly indicate alterations results in the changes being void and the original language prevailing.
