Which of the following are likely to occur if the drawings and specifications are not thoroughly coordinated? (Choose four) a. a. A decrease of the actual cost from the estimated cost because the contractor bid on a less expensive material shown on the drawings, although the same material was called out as a more expensive type in the specifications. b. A lawsuit c. The need for a change order during construction, to account for modifications required to correct discrepancies in the two documents d. A delay in construction e. An increase in cost because the contractor bid the least expensive choice between two conflicting requirements when the client wanted the more expensive option f. The architect may be held financially responsible for the omission. 3. Which of the following statements about specifications are true? (choose two) a. a. Both narrow scope and broad scope sections can be used the same project manual. b. Drawings are more binding than specifications if there is a conflict . c. Specifications show quality, drawings show quantity. d. Proprietary specifications encourage competitive bids. e. Specifications should not be open to interpretation if they are the “base bid with alternates” type f. Proprietary specifications are the most difficult for an architect to write. 4. During the final stages of contract document development, the electrical engineer discovers that mechanical ductwork is shown on the mechanical engineering drawings in a position that interferes with electrical conduit. The person responsible for resolving the conflict is: a. a. Electrical engineer b. Mechanical engineer c. Contractor d. Architect 5. Which of the following is the contractor solely responsible for? a. I. Field reports to the owner II. Field tests III. Scaffolding IV. Reviewing claims of subcontractors V. Reviewing shop drawings i. A. II and III only B. IV and V only C. I, II, and III only D. II, III, and IV only 6.

Workers’ skills level needed to complete the work d. Other trades that will be working on the same part of the construction at the same time 10. During a periodic visit to the site, the architect notices what appears to be an undersized variable air volume box being installed. What should the architect do? a. a. Tell the mechanical engineer to look at the situation during the next site visit by the engineer. Note the observation on a field report b. Find the contractor and stop work on the installation until the size of the unit can be verified by the mechanical engineer and compare to the contract documents. c. Notify the owner in writing that the work is not proceeding according the to the contract documents and advise him to stop the work until the architect can arrange a meeting with the mechanical engineer to resolve the situation d. Notify the contractor that the equipment may be undersized, and have the contractor check on it. Concurrently ask the mechanical engineer to verify the size of the unit against the specifications and report to the architect. 11.

Which of the following is NOT part of the contract documents? a. a. An addendum b. Bidding documents c. General conditions of the contract for construction d. Change orders 13.
