Use of unit prices, allowances and alternates should always be limited to those items required for accurate bidding, in order to keep bidding documents and processes as simple as possible." "The contractual relationship governed by the Conditions of the Contract is between: a. Owner and contractor b. Architect/engineer and contractor c. Owner and Subcontractors d. Owner, contractor, and architect/engineer Review: PDPG 5.5 and 11.3.9" - >>>"a. Owner and contractor The owner and the contractor are the parties to the construction contract, hence they are subject to the Conditions of the Contract. Yes, the duties of the architect are described in the Conditions of the Contract, but they are governed by the separate Owner/Architect or Owner/Engineer Agreement." Review: PDPG 11.2.9" - >>>"c. Are expanded upon by the provisions of Division 01 The key word is ""expanded."" Division 01 General Requirements are detailed. They address administrative and procedural level issues. The Conditions of the Contract say: ""Do this."" The General Requirements say: ""Do it like this."" And don't forget the concept of ""complementary documents."" No provisions have priority over, are superseded by, or are independent of, other provisions in the contract documents - they are ""complementary.""" "In the specifications, the stated requirements address: a. The owner's responsibilities b. The contractor's responsibilities c. The subcontractor's responsibilities d. The architect's responsibilities e. All of the above Review: PDPG 11.3.4.3" - >>>"b. The contractor's responsibilities The owner and the contractor are the sole parties to the contract.

Different document formats should be used to identify the work of the separate consultants c. The lead design professional should avoid the liability inherent in reviewing consultants' work d. Information should be collected and the project A/E assume responsibility for preparing each section Review: PDPG 11.3.4.3" - >>>"a. One design team member should be responsible for overall coordination The project manual is the work of an entire team, but it is a unified document and must have one experienced individual reading and coordinating all content. This means no ""consultants will just email their sections directly to the print house.""" "Since he or she is most familiar with a product, the manufacturer's representative should: a. Write the specification section. b. Review the specification section. c. Supply information to the specification writer. d. Not be consulted in order to avoid a conflict of interest. Review: PDPG 11.3.4.2" - >>>"c. Supply information to the specification writer. The product representative is a valuable information source.

Manufacturer and product brand names or unique characteristics are used in the specifications. b. Several products may be named as options. c. The A/E must coordinate the named product with other specification requirements. d. Other products are allowed as substitutions upon approval of the owner. Review: PDPG 11.3.6.4" - >>>"d. Other products are allowed as substitutions upon approval of the owner. Closed proprietary specifications by definition do not allow substitutions of unnamed manufacturers/products."

A component of the input into, and reporting out of, a BIM model d. An ongoing effort by many entities reflecting the collaboration and fast track delivery typical of modern construction projects Review: PDPG 1.2,2.3,3.4" - >>>"b. A process integral to the design phase of a project While the AIA, AGC, and EJCDC all define construction document production as part of a design phase, CSI draws a distinction between design and construction documentation. Make sure you do your reading from up to date CDT resources. This answer is different from what the previous resource, the Project Resource Manual (PRM) says. The PRM material has been rapidly overtaken by industry practices associated with design-build, IPD, and BIM. We're adjusting our study materials to reflect this change." "The nationally-recognized California AIA ""Integrated Project Delivery Guide"" redefines the stages of a project to include which of the following: a. Conceptualization b. Criteria Design c. Detailed Design d. Implementation Documents e. All of the above Review: PDPG 3.3" - >>>" e.

Team culture based upon problem resolution rather than determination of liability. - IPD takes increased planning effort and expense, change in practice habits including risk management, early agreement on use of technology, and the ability to play multiple roles. Mutual efforts toward risk management and assignment of responsibility, as well as emphasis on collaborative action, seeks to minimize the isolation of risk and associated damage claims. "According to the BEES model, life cycle analysis (LCA) is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT: a.

Estimates of the cumulative environmental impacts resulting from all stages of a product life cycle over a 50-year period c. Support for selection of products with the lowest total environmental impact d. Market analysis of demand for sustainable products Yesterday's Review: About GreenFormat" - >>>"d.
