and in a few instances as Limited.
For a $1,000,000 project where he
has specified liability insurance
limits as $100,000/5300,000 for
bodily injury and $100,000 for
property damage, the premium is
about $600. Where Contractors
have experience credits or divi-
dends, the cost would be less. The
contractor doesn't really bear the
cost of the premium.
 One word of warning. A-201
makes it clear that the architect is
responsible for his mistakes and
the architect must be sure he pro-
vides his own protection for errors
and omissions. The indemnifica-
tion clause in A-201 merely pro-
tects the owner and his architect
from the Contractor's negligence
related to the construction of the
project. It only protects the archi-
tect from the "scatter-shot type"
of claims (on the increase lately)
made by people hurt or damaged
by the construction process.
 The following presents the pro-
vision in A-201 relating to indem-
nification :
Indemnification
"4.18 Indemnification
4.18.1 The Contractor shall in-
demnify and hold harmless the
Owner and the Architect and their
agents and employees from and
against all claims, damages, losses
and expenses including attorneys'
fees arising out of or resulting from
the performance of the Work, pro-
vided that any such claim, dam-
age, loss or expense (a) is attribu-


table to bodily injury, sickness, dis-
ease or death, or to injury to or
destruction of tangible property
(other than the Work itself) in-
cluding the loss of use resulting
therefrom, and (b) is caused in
whole or in part by any negligent
act or omission of the Contractor,
any Subcontractor, anyone directly
or indirectly employed by any of
them or anyone for whose acts any
of them may be liable, regardless
of whether or not it is caused in
part by a party indemnified here-
under.
4.18.2 In any and all claims
against the Owner or Architect or
any of their agents or employees
by any employee of the Contrac-
tor, any Subcontractor, anyone di-
rectly or indirectly employed by
any of them or anyone for whose
acts any of them may be liable,
the indemnification obligation
under this Paragraph 4.18 shall not
be limited in any way by any limi-
tation on the amount or type of
damages, compensation or benefits
payable by or for the Contractor
or any Subcontractor under work-
men's compensation acts, disability
benefit acts or other employee
benefit acts.
4.18.3 The obligations of the
Contractor under this Paragraph
4.18 shall not extend to any claim,
damage, loss or expense which is
attributable in whole or in sub-
stantial part to a defect in drawings
or specifications prepared by the
Architect."
