The project delivery team consists of – the owner – the architect – the engineer(s) – the general contractor – subcontractors 2. Describe the project delivery process. The project delivery process starts with the concept of the project and ends with final acceptance, payment and, ultimately, successful performance of the constructed product. 3. What two items must an owner provide to ensure a successful project? Two items that an owner must provide to ensure a reasonable chance for the successful completion of a building are: – sufficient funds to cover the cost of construction – a suitable site 4. What are the three most common forms of contract documents? The three most common forms of contract documents are – the AIA documents – the EJCDC documents – the ConsensusDocs 5. What form can a construction contract take? Contracts can be in any form acceptable to the parties of the contract. Standard forms are widely accepted and bear lower legal expense during the contract negotiation as they have been reviewed numerous times and have been legally tested in the court system for validity. 6. What are common forms of determining the contract amount for a construction project? Contracts may be fixed price, cost plus a percentage, cost plus a fixed fee with a maximum price, and cost plus a fixed fee without a maximum price. 7. How may bids be procured from prospective contractors? Bids may be competitively procured or they may be noncompetitive, meaning that there could be one contractor or many contractors providing bids. 8.

Bonds are a form of insurance for projects. The three common types of bonds are bid bonds (a guarantee that the bid will be honored by the contractor and if not, the bond will cover the cost of rebidding); a payment bond (a guarantee that the contractor has paid the subcontractors); and a performance bond (a guarantee that the contractor will perform to the terms of the contract). What is a contract? An agreement with specific terms between two or more persons or entities in which there is a promise to do something in return for a valuable benefit known as consideration What factual elements must a contract contain? An offer, an acceptance of the offer, a promise to perform, a valuable consideration, a time commitment, terms and conditions of performance, and the actual performance of the basis of the contract What is a standard of care? It is that level of service ordinarily provided by other competent members of the construction profession, providing similar services in the same locale and under the same or similar circumstances. What are three common forms of dispute resolution? Litigation, arbitration, and mediation What is the purpose of plans and specifications? Plans and specifications are used in a supplementary and complementary role to convey the design and achieve the expected construction result. In the case of a conflict between the plans and the specifications, which prevails? If there is a conflict or disparity between plans and specifications, neither prevails. This becomes an opportunity and obligation to seek clarification by the design professional of the intent of the plans and specifications. Get such clarifications in writing! What are codes and standards? Codes and standards are the legal documents, in addition to the contract documents, that set forth the minimum material, process, or performance standards expected for the construction. If there is a conflict between a contract provision and a code requirement, which prevails on a construction project? Codes and code-referenced standards overrule contract considerations when there is a conflict between the two. As an example, a subcontractor is not allowed to enter into a contract that requires violating the building code. In most jurisdictions, the contract becomes invalid if deemed illegal. What validity does an “industry standard” have in the hierarchy of contract documents? Industry standards carry less impact and validity than code-referenced standards, but can be used to judge compliance with a “standard of care” by the contractor or design professional. Who develops codes and standards for use in construction? Codes and standards are usually developed by volunteers with experience in the respective industry or profession. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 2 complete document is available on https://solumanu.com/ *** contact me if site not loaded
