Correct Answer
D) Actual documented labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor cost records
Force-account work is priced from documented actual costs such as labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor records. Other choices do not establish changed-work cost.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Force-account work is priced from documented actual costs such as labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor records. Other choices do not establish changed-work cost.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The color of the field report
Choice A gives The color of the field report. Its specific error: it leaves out the controlling Force account result: Actual documented.
Option B: Base the force account response on the owner's move-in announcement
Choice B (The owner's move-in announcement only) is rejected because the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Force account.
Option C: Classify the condition as a deleted addendum
In procurement and contracting, A deleted addendum is the wrong selection for Force account: it removes the controlling Force account requirement instead of meeting it.
Memory Technique
Use force account as the label and Actual documented labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor cost records as the definition to recall under pressure.
