    If the contractor is delayed in the progress of the Work by Owner, he should: 

    • Write Architect/Engineer protesting the changes

    • Notify his bonding company

    • Write the Architect/Engineer requesting a change order granting an extension of time

    • Stop the Work until Owner makes up his mind.

    Correct Answer
    A. Write the Architect/Engineer requesting a change order granting an extension of time
    Explanation
    If the contractor is delayed in the progress of the work by the owner, it is appropriate for the contractor to write the architect/engineer requesting a change order granting an extension of time. This is because the contractor is not responsible for delays caused by the owner and may need additional time to complete the work due to the owner's actions. By requesting a change order, the contractor can formally document the delay and request an extension to the project timeline. This ensures that the contractor is not held accountable for delays that are beyond their control.

    As a result of the widely held misconception that a contractor's responsibility for defective work lasts only for the one-year guaranty period:  

    • The supplementary conditions should state that the period last a specific additional length of time

    • EJCDC and AIA documents state correction period instead of guaranty period

    • The owner accepts any repairs after that date

    • The courts relieve the contractor of his responsibility

    Correct Answer
    A. EJCDC and AIA documents state correction period instead of guaranty period
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that EJCDC and AIA documents state correction period instead of guaranty period.

This indicates that the contractor is responsible for making any necessary repairs or corrections during this specified time frame.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    True or False: Shop drawings are not contract documents.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Shop drawings are not contract documents because they are detailed drawings produced by the contractor, subcontractor, or supplier that show the specific installation and fabrication details of the project. While they are important for coordination and construction purposes, they are not considered part of the legal contract between the owner and the contractor. Contract documents typically include the agreement, general conditions, specifications, and drawings prepared by the architect or engineer. Shop drawings are considered supplementary to the contract documents and are used to provide more specific information about how certain elements of the project will be constructed.

    • Tax exempt status of owner

    • Submittal requirements

    Correct Answer
    A. Submittal requirements
    Explanation
    The given answer is "Submittal requirements". This is because submittal requirements are not a type of clause that would typically be included in Supplementary Conditions. Supplementary Conditions usually include clauses related to project insurance requirements, liquidated damage amounts, and the tax exempt status of the owner. Submittal requirements, on the other hand, are typically included in the General Conditions or in separate submittal documents.

    The mood that is recommended for specifications is:

    • The imperative mood

    • The indicative mood

    • The symbolic mood

    • The conflicting mood

    Correct Answer
    A. The imperative mood
    Explanation
    The imperative mood is recommended for specifications because it is a grammatical mood that expresses commands, requests, or instructions. Specifications typically provide detailed instructions or requirements for a particular task or project, and using the imperative mood helps to convey these instructions clearly and directly. It creates a sense of authority and urgency, making it easier for the reader to understand and follow the specifications accurately.

    True or False: As a project proceeds through the project delivery process (time), the ability to influence the cost is high at the beginning, but decreases as the project advances through the various stages.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    As a project progresses through the project delivery process, the ability to influence the cost is high at the beginning but decreases as the project advances through the various stages. This is because during the initial stages, there is more flexibility to make changes and adjustments that can impact the cost. However, as the project moves forward and more resources and activities are committed, the options for cost control become more limited. Therefore, it is important to address cost considerations early in the project to maximize the ability to influence and manage costs effectively.

    If the construction budget of a 50,000 square foot project is $5,000,000 based on $100 per square foot, it is an example of which method of preparing the budget? 

    • Unit price

    • Cost per measured unit

    • Systems

    • Component cost

    Correct Answer
    A. Cost per measured unit
    Explanation
    The given scenario of a construction budget for a 50,000 square foot project being calculated based on $100 per square foot indicates the use of the "Cost per measured unit" method. In this method, the budget is prepared by determining the cost of each measured unit (in this case, the cost per square foot) and multiplying it by the quantity required (in this case, the total square footage of the project).

    All of the following subjects are usually included in Supplementary Conditions EXCEPT

    • Insurance requirements

    • Liquidated damages

    • Tax exempt status of Owner

    • Submittal requirements

    Correct Answer
    A. Submittal requirements
    Explanation
    Supplementary conditions are additional contract provisions that modify or supplement the general conditions of a construction contract. They typically address specific project requirements or conditions. Insurance requirements, liquidated damages, and tax exempt status of the owner are all common subjects that may be included in supplementary conditions. However, submittal requirements are not typically included in supplementary conditions. Submittal requirements are usually addressed in the contract documents or project specifications, rather than in supplementary conditions.

    True or False: The A/E is required to determine the project delivery method

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The A/E (Architect/Engineer) is not required to determine the project delivery method. The project delivery method is typically determined by the owner or client in consultation with the A/E and other stakeholders. The A/E's role is to provide expertise and recommendations regarding the various delivery methods available, but the final decision rests with the owner or client. Therefore, the statement is false.

    The contractual relationship governed by the Conditions of the Contract is between:

    • Owner and contractor

    • Architect/engineer and contractor

    • Owner and Subcontractors

    • Owner, contractor, and architect/engineer

    Correct Answer
    A. Owner and contractor
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Owner and contractor. This is because the Conditions of the Contract govern the contractual relationship between the owner of the project and the contractor hired to carry out the construction work. The owner is responsible for providing the necessary funds and specifications, while the contractor is responsible for executing the project according to the agreed terms and conditions. The architect/engineer may be involved in the project as a consultant or advisor, but the primary contractual relationship is between the owner and the contractor.
