Contract for Architectural Services

Greetings:

I have reviewed a number of AIA contracts for architectural services.  Same basic form.  I am not fond of the AIA contracts.  The contracts appear to me to be skewed in favor of the architect and are protected by copyright. Do any of you have a basic contract for professional services or specific to architectural services that you commonly use that better protects the interest of the municipality?  If so, might I have a copy?

Thank you.
