Reference: PDPG 7.2.3.1

Explanation: (PDPG Figure 5.1) The tripartite relationship

among the owner, contractor, and A/E is created by obligations to third parties to the contract. For example, the owner-A/E agreement may require certain duties of the A/E acting on behalf of the owner during construction. The contractor has a right to rely on the proper performance of these duties. The A/E, similarly, relies on the contractor to perform certain duties identified in the owner-contractor agreement, even though the A/E is not a party to that contract. The A/E relationship to the contractor in the owner-contractor agreement is a third-party relationship. These third-party relationships create the third side of the triangle in the construction process.(PDPG 7.2.3.1) The owner contracts first with the A/E to design the project and to prepare bidding documents. The owner then obtains bids through the competitive bidding process from bidding contractors. When one of he bidders is selected by the owner, the owner will either directly enter into the contract (such as for a project to be constructed with public funds), or negotiate the final cost and then enter into the contract (such as for a privately funded project).
