Engineering Agreements
 

Notice of Full Implementation of E J C D C Documents (6/6/05):  Water and Environmental Programs (W E P) plans to limit the use of R D 1942-19, Agreement for Engineering Services, to projects for which procurement is expected to use Small Purchase Procedures (7 C F R 1780.72(a)) for construction contracts under $100,000.  After December 31, 2005, the 2002 E J C D C, Funding Agency Edition will be the only form of Agreement for Engineering Services pre-approved for use on water and waste projects financed by R D Water and Environmental Programs.

Rural Development, W E P is in the process of migrating to the  E J C D C Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Engineer for Professional Services, Funding Agency Edition as the recommended agreement for engineering services. At present, a R D applicant and their engineer have the option of using the E J C D C document (contact State Engineer for State-specific attachments to be used with either set of documents) or the existing RD Form 1942-19, Agreement for Engineering Services. The E J C D C Funding Agency Edition document and its attachments are available here in P D F format for your inspection (page numbering may not be accurate). Copies of E J C D C documents must be purchased from one of the E J C D C sponsor organizations -  National Society of Professional Engineers at 800-417-0348, available in either paper or electronic format, American Council of Engineering Companies at 202-347-7474, or American Society of Civil Engineers at 800-548-2723. RUS Bulletin 1780-26 is available that provides guidance on the use of the E J C D C documents on projects financed in part by R D. It is strongly recommended that you review the bulletin before developing a set of documents using the E J C D C forms.

Phase in of 2002 E J C D C documents:  Rural Development, W E P approved the use of E-510 on October 1, 2003.  Engineering agreements for projects started after this date should be based on E-510 (2002) as described in R D Bulletin 1780-26.  For those projects already in development, please continue to use the 1997 version of the Funding Agency Edition (F A) documents for Rural Development funded water and waste projects.  Rural Development will continue to accept the 1997 version of the F A documents on those projects that were underway prior to the 2002 versions being available. 

For State specific information contact the Rural Development State Engineer.
