A payment dispute is pending, but no stop-work right has been triggered. Which AIA A201 concept should the GC remember?
Correct Answer
A) Continue performance during claim administration when required
A201 includes claim administration concepts requiring continued performance unless the contract provides otherwise.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
A201 includes claim administration concepts requiring continued performance unless the contract provides otherwise.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Stop all work automatically whenever any claim is submitted
Stop all work automatically whenever any claim is submitted skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for continuing performance.
Option C: Convert the claim into a bid withdrawal before award
Convert the claim into a bid withdrawal before award skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for continuing performance.
Option D: Treat mediation as final completion of the Work, and using field preference as if it were written authorization
Treat mediation as final completion of the Work, and using field preference as if it were written authorization skips the written authority, scope, price, notice, or release control needed for continuing performance.
Memory Technique
Continuing Performance square for Has Disputed: scope, authority, price, paper.
Reference Hint
Open-book path: tab AIA A201-2017 to Article 15, Section 15.1 Claims and continuing performance; compare the role, timing, and required instrument in the stem.
