Project Checklist. As an Employer looking to record music for commercial consumer distribution, the following list is meant to guide you through the process of getting the recording under contract, filing the work and paying the Musicians. Note that if you use a music contractor, they can take care of many of these steps for you: 🞎 Confirm Signatory Status: In order for recording work to be covered, you must have signed an AFM “Letter of Acceptance” to the SRLA in advance of not only the session, but also in advance of hiring the Musicians. If you are unsure of your signatory status, contact the Federation. If you are not a signatory, submitting the Letter of Acceptance on page 3 will grant your record label full signatory status to the SRLA. To cover only one individual project, utilize the “Single Project” Letter of Acceptance on page 4. 🞎 Report the Session to the AFM Local: Prior to recording, when the Employer has advanced knowledge of a session date, it is required to send advanced notice of the session to the AFM Local Union office whose jurisdiction in which the recording is taking place. To find the appropriate Local, visit the AFM website and click “About” and then “Locals”, where you can search by location. 🞎 Put out the Call to the Musicians: Once you are signatory and the session is reported, you may call the Musicians you intend to hire. Musicians will need to know the location, time and length of the session, the scale they will be working under, and the artist with whom they will be performing. 🞎 Collect Paperwork: In order to payroll the session, collect W-4s, I-9s and any other documents required for payroll, as well as any information that might be necessary to complete the B-Report Form. Familiarize yourself with the Report Form in advance so you know what types of information are required. 🞎 During the recording session, the Leader should keep track of the hours worked, the song titles recorded and the instrumental parts performed by each Musician. A timecard can help gather this information during the session; a blank timecard can be found on page 17 of this packet. 🞎 Fill Out the B-Report Form: After the session is complete, fill out the B-4 Report Form (available on page 15) including the calculation of wages and benefits. Assistance on this can be found later in the packet. The B-4 should be signed by both you (the Signatory of Record) as well as the Leader (the instrumental musician who leads the group in performing). It is important these sig...
Project Checklist. The project checklist is a convenient listing of tasks a practitioner may perform on a given project. This checklist will assist the architect in recognizing required tasks and in locating the data necessary to fulfill assigned responsibilities. By providing space for notes on actions taken, assignment of tasks, and time frames for completion, AIA Document D200™–1995 may also serve as a permanent record of the owner’s, contractor’s and architect’s actions and decisions. D503–2011, Guide for Sustainable Projects, including Agreement Amendments and Supplementary Conditions AIA Document D503™–2011 is not an agreement, but is a guide that discusses the roles and responsibilities faced by Owners, Architects and Contractors on sustainable design and construction projects. D503 also contains model provisions for modifying or supplementing the following AIA Contract Documents: A201™–2007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction; A101™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor where the basis of payment is a Stipulated Sum; and B101™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect. D503 provides model language with explanatory notes to assist users in adapting those documents for use on a sustainable project. A201–2007, A101–2007 and B101–2007, as standard form documents, cannot address all of the unique requirements and risks of sustainable design and construction. Thus, AIA Document D503–2011 is provided to assist users either in modifying those documents, or developing separate supplementary conditions documents to attach to them. E-Series: Exhibits E201–2007, Digital Data Protocol Exhibit AIA Document E201™–2007 is not a stand-alone document, but must be attached as an exhibit to an existing agreement, such as the AIA Document B101™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, or A101™–2007, Agreement Between Owner and Contractor. Its purpose is to establish the procedures the parties agree to follow with respect to the transmission or exchange of digital data, including instruments of service. AIA Document E201–2007 defines digital data as information, communications, drawings, or designs created or stored for a specific project in digital form. E201 does not create a separate license to use digital data, because AIA documents for design or construction, to which E201 would be attached, already include those provisions. Parties not covered under such agreements should consider executing AIA Document...
Project Checklist. 1. The attached PSE drawing shows the proposed scope of your project including the location of permanent, above ground electrical facilities required to provide electrical service to your project. Fault current information for transformers associated with your project is noted on the work sketch drawing. Please review this drawing as soon as possible to ensure there are no unforeseen conflicts between PSE’s design and your project. If you determine there are conflicts or if you identify a discrepancy while reviewing the drawing for your project, please contact me at the number below.
