The enclosed disk contains the following files:

1. START - A copy of this instructional manual. If by chance this manual become lost or is accidently used by a 3 year old child for coloring practice, you may print a new copy. Simply print this file using your word processor.

2. TEXT1, TEXT2 and TEXT3 - The contents of Howard Shenson's book How to Strategically Negotiate the Consulting Contract.

The book has been broken up into three separate parts due to its length. TEXT1 is the first third of the book, followed by TEXT2 and TEXT3.

3. CT1 through CT10 - are the individual contracts as they are depicted in the text portion of the book. Instead of typing the contracts from the book you may use these contract files. You can rename, copy, modify or merge them as needed.

CT1 is the first contract to appear in the book, while CT10 is the last. Below is a brief description of each contract file:

CT1 - A sample agreement to be written on the client's letterhead, retaining your organization for a specific project.

CT2 - A sample agreement to be written on the consultant's letterhead, indicating the proposal and reporting intentions of the consultant for an engineering services type project.

CT4 - A sample of a formal written contract for the more involved project which may require governmental, third party and supervision. This is the most detailed of the contracts and will probably require review by your attorney for your specific needs.

CT5 - A sample engineering service agreement. This agreement allows for additional compensation to the consultant if changes in plans or specifications are made. The standard per diem charge of the consultant is used to determine the additional compensation.

CT6 - A sample agreement for use when the consultant will be acting as an agent for the client, usually with respect to selling or representing. Also typical of the agreements for use between a consultant and those individuals retained by the consultant to serve as sub-contractors.

CT7 - A sample agreement for use by the consultant when retaining the services of a second or sub-consultant.
