Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Final completion and final payment after all punch work is done, and omit the issue from the current contract-administration log
Final completion and final payment after all punch work is done, and omit the issue from the current contract-administration log skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for bidder representations.
Option B: Subcontract payment provisions after the prime contract is complete, and use that shortcut to decide the bidder bidding conditions requirement, without confirming whether the duty belongs to owner or contractor
Subcontract payment provisions after the prime contract is complete, and use that shortcut to decide the bidder bidding conditions requirement, without confirming whether the duty belongs to owner or contractor skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for bidder representations.
Option D: Owner termination for convenience during the construction phase
Owner termination for convenience during the construction phase skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for bidder representations.
