The GC receives a payment certificate from the architect. Under AIA A201, which general role is the architect performing?
Correct Answer
C) Administering the Contract as described in the Contract Documents
A201 describes the Architect's role in administration of the Contract.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
A201 describes the Architect's role in administration of the Contract.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Replacing the Contractor's means-and-methods responsibility at the site
Replacing the Contractor's means-and-methods responsibility at the site skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for architect administration.
Option B: Becoming the surety for the contractor's payment obligations
Becoming the surety for the contractor's payment obligations skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for architect administration.
Option D: Issuing bidder instructions after the construction contract is complete
Issuing bidder instructions after the construction contract is complete skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for architect administration.

Reference Hint
Open-book path: tab AIA A201-2017 to Article 4, §4.2 Administration of the Contract; match the contract role and timing in the stem before choosing.
