(A) The Agreement (B) Procurement Documents (C) Addendum (D) Supplemental Conditions - CORRECT ANSWER -Answer: B Reference: PDPG 11.1.6 Explanation: Procurement requirements are addressed to prospective bidders or proposers interested in the project.

(A) The General contractor (B) Owner (C) A/E (D) Contract Administrator - CORRECT ANSWER -Answer: B Reference: PDPG 2.6.4 Explanation: The owner usually engages the services of a construction manager, an entity that typically contracts with the owner to provide construction management services. The parties to the Construction Agreement are? (A) General Contractor, Sub Contractor, and Construction Manager (B) A/E, General Contractor, and Contract Administrator (C) Building Official, and General contractor (D) Owner, Contractor, and A/E - CORRECT ANSWER -Answer: D Reference: PDPG 7.2.3.1 Explanation: (PDPG Figure 5.1) The tripartite relationship among the owner, contractor, and A/E is created by obligations to third parties to the contract. For example, the owner -A/E agreement may require certain duties of the A/E acting on behalf of the owner during construction. The contractor has a right to rely on the proper performance of these duties. The A/E, similarly, relies on the contractor to perform certain duties identified in the owner -contractor agreement, even though the A/E is not a party to that contract. The A/E relationship to the contractor in the owner -contractor agreement is a third -party relationship. These third -party relationships create the third side of the triangle in the construction process.(PDPG 7.2.3.1) The owner contracts first with the A/E to design the project and to prepare bidding documents. The owner then obtains bids through the competitive bidding process from bidding contractors. When one of he bidders is selected by the owner, the owner will either directly enter into the contract (such as for a project to be constructed with public funds), or negotiate the final cost and then enter into the contract (such as for a privately funded project). The organization responsible for the General Conditions known as 201 are? (A) DBIA (B) AGC (C) AIA (D) CSI - CORRECT ANSWER -Answer: C Reference: PDPG 11.5.4.2 Explanation: Each document deals with project conditions and issues in a similar manner but with language determined to be in accord with the needs of each organization. When there is a dispute between the specifications and the drawings, what is the proper way to settle the dispute? (A) The drawings have priority (B) The A/E should interpret (C) The specifications (D) Arbitration - CORRECT ANSWER -Answer: B Reference: PDPG 11.2.9.4, 13.9.1.1, AIA A201 1.2.1 Explanation: The drawings and specification are complementary documents in the AIA and EJCDC general conditions. (PDPG 11.2.9.4) Precedence: Questions of precedence often arise among large scale drawings, small -scale drawings, and specifications. However, the use of statements in the project manual to establish the precedence of the various contract documents is not recommended because the documents are complementary. The general conditions of the contract should indicate only that in a case of conflict between drawings and specifications, the A/E will make a documented interpretation. (PDPG 13.9.1.1) When the contract documents are being interpreted, the contents of the drawings and the specifications must be considered together. If an item is not addressed in both the drawings and the specifications, it does not mean that it is not required for the project. (AIA A201 1.2.1) The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all A subcontractor is obligated to the prime contractor in the same manner as the prime contractor is obligated to the: (A) Architect (B) Owner (C) Material Supplier (D) Principal in Charge - CORRECT ANSWER -Answer: B Reference: PDPG 2.4.2 , 2.5
