The standard of care issue is likely to create some serious problems for the design profession when dealing with some of the projects created as a result of the Recovery Act. I would encourage clients on the design, construction and developer/owner side to take an active role in working with the design professionals insurance carriers in regard to coverage issues pertaining to both the standard of care detailed and the consideration of whether LEED credit templates themselves rise to performance guarantees and could also void coverage, as it is in everyone's best interest to make certain that won't happen. This might take some front end time and timing frustrations, but it sure beat the alternative. Great post Stephen.
