A subcontractor works weekend overtime to recover its own delay and then submits a change request for premium time. The owner did not direct acceleration. What is the proper contract review focus?

Correct Answer

D) Require contract entitlement and written authorization before paying premium-time cost

Premium-time recovery normally depends on contract entitlement and authorization, not merely the fact that overtime was worked. Other choices pay without entitlement or change contract terms after the fact.

Add the cost to every subcontractor's pay application
B
Pay automatically because the work occurred on a weekend
C
Convert the subcontract to cost-plus after the fact
D
Require contract entitlement and written authorization before paying premium-time cost

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Premium-time recovery normally depends on contract entitlement and authorization, not merely the fact that overtime was worked. Other choices pay without entitlement or change contract terms after the fact.
