A Florida GC wants to reuse the architect's project drawings on an unrelated private job. Which AIA A201 topic limits that idea?
Correct Answer
C) Ownership and permitted use of drawings, specifications, and other instruments of service
A201 addresses ownership and permitted use of the design professional's documents.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
A201 addresses ownership and permitted use of the design professional's documents.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The schedule of values used only for monthly applications for payment, and use that shortcut to decide the drawings requirement, without documenting the decision in the change or claim record
The schedule of values used only for monthly applications for payment, and use that shortcut to decide the drawings requirement, without documenting the decision in the change or claim record skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for ownership and use of documents.
Option B: The bidder's right to withdraw a proposal before the bid deadline
The bidder's right to withdraw a proposal before the bid deadline skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for ownership and use of documents.
Option D: The subcontractor's warranty of its own material deliveries, and make the pricing assumption binding without approval
The subcontractor's warranty of its own material deliveries, and make the pricing assumption binding without approval skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for ownership and use of documents.

Reference Hint
Open-book path: tab AIA A201-2017 to Article 1, §1.5 Ownership and Use of Drawings, Specifications, and Other Instruments of Service; match the contract role, notice step, and timing in the stem before choosing.
