A supplier delivers material before the related submittal is approved. What should receiving personnel do?
Correct Answer
D) Quarantine or hold the material until compliance and approval status are verified.
Early delivery does not prove contract compliance; receiving should verify approval and requirements.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Early delivery does not prove contract compliance; receiving should verify approval and requirements.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Install it immediately because it arrived
In general project requirements, Install it immediately because it arrived. is the wrong selection for First delivery submittal check: it answers the First delivery submittal check prompt with the wrong practical move.
Option B: Assume the contractor may pay the supplier without review when applying first delivery submittal check
The trap in B is Pay the supplier without review. That selection is wrong because the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for First delivery submittal check.
Option C: The project manager should remove the submittal requirement
Choice C gives Remove the submittal requirement. Its specific error: the choice would not get the project to Quarantine or hold the material until compliance and approval status are verified.
Memory Technique
Pair first delivery submittal check with the real field trigger, then choose the response that produces Quarantine or hold the material until compliance and approval status are verified.
