<p class="releaseDateline">Washington, DC (Vocus/PRWEB) January 10, 2011 </p>
<p> Early next month, WPL Publishing will sponsor a webinar to help various professionals in the construction industry understand the advantages and disadvantages of guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>As the use of the GMP contract formats has proliferated, so have disputes. The nature of many of these disputes strongly suggests that the parties using them do not fully understand the differences between GMP contracts and the contracts that the users are accustomed to working under, or the risks that are inherent to this delivery system. The upcoming webinar is designed to help construction professionals better understand and address these issues. To register for the 90-minute event, scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011, at 1:00 p.m., visit http://tinyurl.com/33vkhyk.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The webinar will include an in-depth description and analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of this contracting format, the four phases of work that are typical when working under a GMP format, the components of a GMP, and why it is important to fully understand how each is defined and the conditions that apply to the payment of each component. In addition, webinar speakers will advise attendees on what to do and what not to do during each of these phases, discuss administrative burdens placed on each of the parties when using this contracting format, and explain what a change is under a GMP contract and how it is different than changes under other contracts and how contractors may need to change their standard subcontracts when working on a GMP project.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Webinar speakers will explain the following facets of GMP:&#13;<br />
</p>
<p>  The fundamental differences between GMP contracts and other contracts. &#13;<br />
  The components of the GMP and how each component is administered as work proceeds. &#13;<br />
  What the four phases of work typically are when working under a GMP format. &#13;<br />
  How the work done during each phase can affect the likelihood of success. &#13;<br />
  The definition of what a change is under a GMP contract.
<p>Addressing webinar attendees will be Richard Burnham, a construction industry executive and attorney. He is director of Trauner Consulting Services Inc. and brings years of hands-on experience with all types of projects and a spectrum of contract delivery methods from various perspectives. His once served as vice president of a major international contractor whose $  1 billion-plus annual revenue included major building and heavy construction projects for both public and private clients. He also served as a senior manager of a major engineering company, an advisor to public transportation agencies, and an expert witness regarding the proper administration and analysis of changes, delays, and damages. He once was as an adjunct professor at a highly regarded engineering college and has lectured on litigation avoidance, analysis of construction claims, and critical-path-method scheduling. &#13;<br />
<br />Following Richard’s presentation, there will be an interactive 10-to-15 minute question-and-answer session addressing relevant topics. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Webinar tuition is based on location, not number of participants, so each registration site can have multiple participants for one low price. To register, visit http://tinyurl.com/33vkhyk.&#13;<br />
<br />WPL Publishing Co., Inc. produces three construction newsletters: Construction Claims Advisor (http://www.constructionclaims.com), Green Building Insider (http://www.greenbuildinginsider.com), and Construction Advisor Today (http://www.constructionadvisortoday.com). The company also hosts webinar series on topics relevant to the construction industry. WPL is on Twitter at CAT_Online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by dapo00777</i>: If contracts are void after a bankruptcy and need to be renegotiated?</strong><br />
AIG had contracts that went back years, promising bonuses.  The federal government could have avoided AIG making these huge payments by simply letting them fail and go into bankruptcy.  Why is the government now so upset that AIG is paying bonuses that were in contracts from years ago?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Killer Queen</i><br/>You&#8217;re right.  We need to stop taking the risk out of businesses.  If we bailout every failure, there won&#8217;t be any incentive to succeed.  If a company fails, they either need to revamp or go out of business.  That is the way free enterprise works and it has worked well.  This bailout mess is causing so many problems now but the long term effects will be immense.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by pixiedust</i>: What kind of contracts does your day care providers have you sign?</strong><br />
What all different kinds of contracts do you have to sign in order to have your child in a day care?  What policies do you &#038; don&#8217;t you like?  What policies do you wish they had?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by wendy.balsam</i><br/>the only thing i had to agree to was advance notice of no longer using their services (usually 30 days or 14 days.)</p>
<p>the only thing that i never liked about day care itself is that its just that&#8230;daycare&#8230;i wish someone would realize that there would be a lot of money to be made with evening care. most places close at 5-6pm. these days moms and dads have to work weird hours (7pm, 8pm, 9pm) </p>
<p>only other issue is the HUGE late fee&#8217;s they charge if you are late. i have seen places be as high as $  5 per min! that&#8217;s why i took my daughter out of it this summer bc my boyfriend works at the court house down town and traffic was horrible. he almost got into car accidents just to get there in time so i didnt have to pay extra.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="releaseDateline">Selbyville, DE (Vocus) December 20, 2010 </p>
<p> The Vehicle Protection Association (VPA), an association formed to protect purchasers of automotive service contracts, today announced that it commends federal prosecutors for securing guilty pleas from a Florida company that used misleading, recorded telemarketing calls, know commonly as “robo-dialing,” to market vehicle service contracts to consumers.(Bloomberg News, Dec. 14, 2010)</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>&#8220;This industry has zero tolerance for firms that use illegal marketing tactics such as robo-dialing,&#8221; said Larry Hecker, executive director of the VPA. &#8220;While most of the firms in our industry have diligently played by the rules, a few bad actors blatantly disregarded applicable laws and standards of conduct. In the process, they maculated the smooth industry. &#8220;</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Today, the VPA&#8217;s self-regulation process, coupled with the actions of outside consumer protection entities, has ensured that consumers are now appropriately protected when they purchase vehicle service contracts. </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>Through the VPA&#8217;s Certification-Audit Program, consumers that want to purchase vehicle service contracts can find vehicle service contract vendors that have gone through a rigorous third-party audit and certification process that ensures that they are adhering to the VPA&#8217;s Standards of Conduct. Firms that have VPA certification have demoed that they run in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and do not prosecute in dishonest commercializing practices</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>A list of VPA-certified vehicle service contract providers can be found on the VPA&#8217;s website at http://www.vpanet.org/Certified-Companies. Consumers who purchase vehicle service contracts from attested VPA members gain peace of mind and several other benefits. Most notably, out of the blue vehicle repair costs are minimised because of vehicle service contract coverage  making it more affordable to personal and conserve a vehicle</p>
<p>&#13;
<p>About the Vehicle Protection Association </p>
<p>&#13;
<p>The Vehicle Protection Association (VPA) is a not-for-profit trade association representing firms that are active in the automotive service contract industry. Members admit service contract credit companies, marketers, administrators, insurers, and software providers. VPA currently has more than 50 members. The organization is perpetrated to insuring restrictive compliance among members, schooling consumers on their rights, assisting consumers, and otherwise insuring the integrity of the moving service contract industry.
