CDT - Exam practice Questions and answers complete- 01 Which of the following are NOT among the definitions given in Article 1 of the AIA A201? a. The Contract Documents b. Order of Precedence of the Documents c. Correlation and Intent of the Contract Documents d. Building Information Models Use and Reliance Review: A201 Article 1: Definitions - >>>b. Order of Precedence of the Documents Comment: The Order of Precedence clause does not appear in the AIA A201 General Conditions. It is sometimes included as a Supplementary Condition at owner request. (We do not encourage its use - it could result in the contractor relying upon information included in error rather than seeking an interpretation from the architect.) Which of the following is NOT listed as a significant difference in how public agencies dictate aspects of the design and construction process? a. Use of drawings and specification conventions required by the agency b. Processing of applications for payment. c. Dictating how construction contracts are awarded. d. Responsibility of design professionals to obtain competitive pricing for work results. Review: PDPG 1.3.2 - >>>d. Responsibility of design professionals to obtain competitive pricing for work results. Whether a project is for a public agency or for a private entity, the design professional has an obligation to assist the Owner in obtaining the best use of the Owner's resources. The private Owner may elect or agree to obtaining components of the Project as sole source items. The public agency Owner may have a process allowing them to do the same for publicly stated reasons. The contractors team member who directs, manages and coordinates the day-to-day project activities of the contractor's staff, suppliers and subcontractors is: a. Project Manager b. Principle-in-charge c. Superintendent d. Project engineer Review: PDPG 1.5.1 - >>>c. Superintendent The superintendent is based at the project site and is involved with day-to-day activities of the work. Many owners require that the superintendent be on site whenever work is underway; this is a clause that is frequently added to the Supplementary Conditions of the A201. Activities that constitute the project include all of the following EXCEPT: a. Constructing the facility b. Managing the completed facility c. Procuring materials, labor and equipment for construction d. Designing the facility Review: PDPG 1.8.2 - >>>b. Managing the completed facility Sustainable design requirements range from a design office's practice standards to complex credit programs requiring considerable documentation and reporting practices. Financing agencies may also dictate sustainable design requirements. There are many credit programs active in the marketplace; their sustainable design categories and requirements may be similar, but all require project-by-project attention from the design professionals and the construction team Who is responsible for purchase and maintenance of insurance protecting the owner against loss of use of the owner's property or disruption of normal operations under A201? a. Contractor b. Owner c. Each subcontractor d. The Contractor's surety Review: AIA A201: Article 11 Insurance - >>>c. Determine needs Programming occurs on every design project. It is often intermixed with early schematic and design development activities. Formal programming which follows the process outlined in the PDPG, is required for larger and more complex projects especially when the owner and the designer require more complete information and decision making prior to initiating schematic design. The PDPG defines the goal of the project delivery team as consisting of the following EXCEPT: a. Meet the owner's requirements b. Meet the designer's sustainability goals c. Be completed on time d. Be completed within the owner's budget - >>>b. Meet the designer's sustainability goals Many design professionals offer strong skills and attitudes toward sustainability. However, they must make certain that their efforts toward sustainable design at the same time meet the other project goals (as defined by the PDPG) The PDPG quotes the Whole Building Design Guide as defining project cost effectiveness as including the following: 1. The lowest first-cost structure that meets the program 2. The design with the lowest operating and maintenance cost 3. The design that incorporates construction teams preferred products and processes 4. The facility in which users are most productive a. All of the above b. 2, 3, 4 c. 1, 2, 3 d. 1, 2, 4 - >>>d. 1, 2, 4 The incorrect answer 3 sometimes interferes with the other goals; most frequently, the construction teams' input is best reflected in 1. Lowest first cost. Close collaboration between design and construction during design helps to properly incorporate construction input without impeding the other measures of effectiveness The practice of all parties involved in the project contractually waiving all claims against one another to the extent they are insured is referred to as: a. Order of precedence b. Waiver of Subrogation c. Implied warranty d. Contingency insurance Review: PDPG 2.2.7 - >>>b. Waiver of Subrogation Completion of the project is in all party's interest. Waiver of Subrogation helps to move disputes toward settlement without disrupting project relationship. This is a good place to mention that architects frequently need to remind their owner clients to involve the client's insurance counsel in a review of the construction documents prior to issuing - especially the Division 00 Bidding and Contracting Documents. The PDPG lists several options for the Design-Build project delivery method, including all of the following EXCEPT: a. Design-builder's all services option b. Owner's A/E and bridging documents option c. Design-bid-build option d. Competitive proposals option Review: PDPG 3.1.4 - >>>The PDPG lists several options for the Design-Build project delivery method, including all of the following EXCEPT: a.
