      False

    Correct Answer

    Substitution requirements for public projects are generally more restrictive than in privately funded projects.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Public projects typically have more stringent substitution requirements compared to privately funded projects. This is because public projects are subject to various regulations and guidelines that prioritize factors such as safety, quality, and compliance with specific standards. These requirements ensure that any substitutions made in public projects meet the necessary criteria and do not compromise the overall integrity of the project. On the other hand, privately funded projects may have more flexibility in terms of substitutions as they are often driven by cost-effectiveness and individual preferences. Therefore, the statement that substitution requirements for public projects are generally more restrictive than in privately funded projects is false.

    Substitution Request Forms should be submitted to the A/E by the contractor.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Substitution Request Forms should indeed be submitted to the A/E (Architect/Engineer) by the contractor. This is a standard procedure in construction projects where contractors need to request a substitution for certain materials, equipment, or methods. The A/E is responsible for evaluating the request and determining if the proposed substitution meets the project requirements and specifications. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Substitutions should not be considered by the A/E when the submitted substitution request has not been reviewed and approved by the contractor.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the A/E (Architect/Engineer) should not consider substitutions unless they have been reviewed and approved by the contractor. This means that the contractor has evaluated the proposed substitution and determined that it meets the necessary requirements and specifications. Without this review and approval, the A/E should not take the substitution into consideration as it may not be suitable or meet the necessary standards for the project.
