A custom pump is required on site by day 110. Review takes 14 days, fabrication takes 42 days, and shipping takes 6 days after release. What is the latest day the submittal can be issued for review?
Correct Answer
A) Day 48
Total procurement duration from submittal issue is 14 + 42 + 6 = 62 days. Latest submittal issue is day 110 - 62 = day 48. Other choices omit one procurement step or subtract the wrong duration.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Total procurement duration from submittal issue is 14 + 42 + 6 = 62 days. Latest submittal issue is day 110 - 62 = day 48. Other choices omit one procurement step or subtract the wrong duration.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Day 54
submittal due date, choice b: Day 54 is off by 6 from the checked result Day 48 because it misuses the 6-day item (shipping takes 6 days after release).
Option C: Day 62
submittal due date, choice c: Day 62 stops at the intermediate Day 62 instead of carrying the remaining calculation step through to Day 48.
Option D: Day 68
submittal due date, choice d: Day 68 equals 110 - 42. That subtracts those two listed numbers in that order.
Memory Technique
Store submittal due date with its last math move; nearby answers are usually unfinished versions of Day 48.
Reference Hint
Open Construction Jobsite Management, 5th Ed.; use the index entry or section for "Procurement schedule calculation" to confirm that Total procurement duration from submittal issue is 14 + 42 + 6 = 62 days.
