CDT Exam – Questions With Correct Solutions (A+)Select the entity which is generally assigned the following duties and
responsibilities by the Conditions of the Contract: Protection of job site
workers and stored materials.
A - Architect/Engineer
B - Owner
C - Contractor
D - Varies, as stated in the Supplementary Conditions
E - None of the above
Reference: PDPG 5.4.1.7 and PDPG 15.12.11; EJCDC C-700 Paras. 7.12 through
7.15; AIA A201 Sections 10.1, 10.2, and 10.4. Also see CCAPG 6.8; CCPG 9.14.
Right Answer: C - Contractor. Safety provisions in both EJCDC and AIA
documents clearly make safety and protection of persons and property at the
construction Site the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
Select the entity which is generally assigned the following duties and
responsibilities by the Conditions of the Contract: Resolution of claims.
A - Owner
B - Contractor
C - Varies, as stated in the Supplementary Conditions
D - Initial Decision Maker
Reference: PDPG 15.15.3; AIA A201 Sections 1.1.8 and 15.2. Also see CCAPG
Chapter 10 (particularly CCAPG 10.3) Right Answer: D - Initial Decision
Maker. The Initial Decision Maker is an entity that exists only in AIA
documents and is not used in EJCDC documents. In AIA documents, when an
entity other than the Architect is named as the Initial Decision Maker, said
entity is identified in AIA A101 (Owner-Contractor Agreement) Section 6.1. In
actual practice with AIA documents, the Initial Decision Maker is typically the
Architect, but may be a third party considered to be neutral.
select the entity which is generally assigned the following duties and
responsibilities by the Conditions of the Contract: Paying taxes for the Work.
,A - Architect/Engineer
B - Owner
C - Contractor
D - Varies, as stated in the Supplementary Conditions
E - None of the above
Reference: EJCDC C-700 Para. 7.09; AIA A201 Section 3.6; PDPG 13.6.4.4
among others. Also see CCAPG 3.1.4. Right Answer: C - Contractor. Taxes
are part of the cost of construction for which the Contractor is responsible
under the terms of the Contract Documents.
For public work, where public owners are often exempt from certain sales and
ues taxes on materials and equipment to be incorporated into the
construction, typically an associated Supplementary Conditions provision is
necessary to properly indicate the statutory requirements for taxes, which can
vary significantly from state to state.
select the entity which is generally assigned the following duties and
responsibilities by the Conditions of the Contract: Right to stop work, if non-
conforming Work fails to be corrected.
A - Architect/Engineer
B - Owner
C - Contractor
D - Varies, as stated in the Supplementary Conditions
E - None of the above
Reference: PDPG 15.9.5.1; EJCDC C-700 Para 14.06; AIA A201 Sections 2.4,
14.2 and 14.3. Also see CCAPG 2.1; CCAPG 6.2.2; Right Answer: B - Owner.
Standard contract documents such as EJCDC's and AIA's reserve to the Owner
sole right to stop or suspend the Work if the Work does not comply with the
Contract Documents. This right is solely the Owner's, and should never be
assumed by or delegated to the A/E (or a construction manager), because
stopping the Work is an extreme action that almost always results in a delay
Claim from the Contractor for additional time and compensation. In EJCDC
and AIA documents, the A/E does not have authority to stop or suspend the
Work for non-conformance because issuing such an order is tantamount to
opening the Owner's checkbook and handing out money.
,Which of the following is part of the construction documents but not part of
the Contract Documents?
A - Procurement Forms
B - Agreement
C - Performance Bond
D - General Conditions
E - Addenda
F - Contract Modifications
Reference: PDPG 12.1 and PDPG 12.2; EJCDC C-700 Paras. 1.01.A.6 and 7; AIA
A201 Section 1.1.1; and "The Diagram". Also see CCAPG 1.3.1; CCAPG 8.2. Also
see CSPG Chapter 9 Right Answer: A - Procurement Forms (also known as
the Bid Form and its supplements). The Procurement (Bidding)
Requirements, which include the advertisement or invitation to bid,
instructions to bidders/proposers, bid form, bid bond form (if any),
qualifications statement (if any), and other bid form supplements (if any), are
required only for the Project's procurement (bidding/pricing) stage and
therefore are not typically considered to be "Contract Documents"
(remember: "Contract Documents" exist only after the parties have both
signed the Owner-Contractor Agreement).
If you are still having trouble wrapping your mind around this, consider that
the Procurement (Bidding) requirements are necessary for, and apply only
through, the procurement (bidding) stage—they address matters only until
the Owner-Contractor Agreement is signed and the Contract becomes
effective. Therefore, the Procurement (Bidding) Requirements are not
necessary once the Contract is in effect.
46a: What is the "glue" that binds the Contract Documents together?
Reference: PDPG 11.1.2; PDPG 11.1.5. Also see CSPG Chapter 5, "Agreements".
Right Answer: If you answered "Agreement" you would not be entirely correct
the correct answer is "signed Agreement" (see PDPG Figure 11.1)
True or False: The Contracting Requirements include the performance bond.
Reference: MasterFormat Division 00 (particularly 00 50 00 through 00 99
99); and "The Diagram". Right Answer: True. MasterFormat titles Division
, 00 as "Procurement and Contracting Requirements". Procurement (Bidding)
Requirements are those documents that pertain only to the procurement
(bidding) stage (e.g., advertisement or instructions to bidders, advertisement
or invitation to bid, instructions to bidders/proposers, bid form, bid bond
form (if any), bidder qualifications statement (if any), and other bid form
supplements (if any). MasterFormat assigns these documents between 00 10
00 and 00 49 99.
The "Contracting Requirements" are the balance of Division 00 (per
MasterFormat, documents between 00 50 00 and 00 99 99), including the
Agreement form and its supplements (if any); project forms (including the
performance bond and payment bond); "conditions of the contract"; and
revisions/clarifications/modifications (including Addenda).
46c: Project-specific insurance requirements would usually be included in the
____ (fill in the blank).
Reference: PDPG 12.5. Also see CSPG Chapter 17 Right Answer:
Supplementary Conditions. Project-specific insurance requirements, such as
the specific types of insurance and minimum coverage limits required, are
typically in the Supplementary Conditions. This is always the case with EJCDC
documents, and was the case with AIA documents until the 2017 edition of
AIA A201 and AIA A101.
Both AIA A201 and EJCDC C-700 (General Conditions) contain basic insurance
provisions. But for the Owner to require that the Contractor furnish general
liability insurance of not less than a certain coverage amount, or to require
that the Contractor furnish a certain type of railroad protective liability
insurance, such requirements would be in the Supplementary Conditions
(EJCDC C-800, Supplementary Conditions, includes model language, as does
AIA A503—2007). However, with its 2017 documents, the AIA extracted the
specific requirements for certain types of insurance and created at new
exhibit to AIA A101 (Owner-Contractor Agreement). Thus, as of 2017, AIA
includes Project-specific insurance requirements in an exhibit to the
Agreement.
Also see EJCDC C-700 Article 6 and EJCDC C-800, Guide to the Preparation of
Supplementary Conditions, provisions numbered SC-6.0x. Alternatively, see
AIA A201 Section 11 and the insurance exhibit to AIA A101—2017.
