A proposed schedule of values puts 40 percent of the contract sum into mobilization, although the work value is much lower. What concern should the owner and architect review?
Correct Answer
D) The schedule may be front-loaded and should be revised to reflect reasonable work values
A schedule of values should reasonably allocate contract value to work items; excessive early values can front-load payments. Other choices make the SOV automatic, assign a false fixed percentage, or confuse it with scheduling.
