The contractor's first schedule of values assigns nearly all profit to early demolition, leaving later finish work undervalued. What should the reviewer request?
Correct Answer
D) A revised schedule of values that reasonably allocates value to the work
A front-loaded schedule of values should be revised so payment values reasonably reflect the work. Other choices ignore payment control or request unrelated documents.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
A front-loaded schedule of values should be revised so payment values reasonably reflect the work. Other choices ignore payment control or request unrelated documents.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Classify the condition as a bid bond from every supplier
In procurement and contracting, A bid bond from every supplier is the wrong selection for Front-loaded SOV: the option answers a paperwork, payment, or bonding issue.
Option B: Select immediate final payment for front-loaded SOV
The trap in B is Immediate final payment. That selection is wrong because it shifts the question into contract administration money flow.
Option C: Classify the condition as a deleted construction schedule
Choice C gives A deleted construction schedule. Its specific error: it treats Front-loaded SOV as optional.
Memory Technique
Use the phrase "problem, control, result" for front-loaded SOV; the result side is A revised schedule of values that reasonably allocates value to the work.
Reference Hint
Open NASCLA Contractors Guide to Business, Law and Project Management, 14th Ed.; use the index entry or section for "Schedule of values front loading" to confirm that A front-loaded schedule of values should be revised so payment values reasonably reflect the work.
