A project has long-lead curtain wall anchors and switchboards. What should a procurement log track for those items?
Correct Answer
D) Submittal, approval, release, fabrication, shipping, and required-on-site dates
A procurement log tracks the dates and status needed to get long-lead materials approved, released, fabricated, shipped, and delivered before installation. Other choices omit the procurement controls that protect the schedule.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
A procurement log tracks the dates and status needed to get long-lead materials approved, released, fabricated, shipped, and delivered before installation. Other choices omit the procurement controls that protect the schedule.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The contractor should track only the final installation date after the long-lead item reaches the site
The trap in A is Only the final punch-list date. That selection is wrong because it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Procurement log requires Submittal, approval, release, fabrication, shipping, and required-on-site dates; A procurement log tracks approval, release, fabrication, shipping, and required-on-site dates for long-lead items.
Option B: The contractor should track only the supplier contact address and sales representative
Choice B gives Only the owner's mailing address. Its specific error: the option delays or omits the controlling step.
Option C: The contractor should track only weather-delay notes that are not tied to submittal or release dates
Choice C (Only weather delays) is rejected because the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Procurement log.
Memory Technique
Make procurement log a tabbed card: cite the exact condition, then choose Submittal, approval, release, fabrication, shipping, and required-on-site dates.
Reference Hint
Open Construction Jobsite Management, 5th Ed.; use the index entry or section for "Procurement-log management" to confirm that A procurement log tracks the dates and status needed to get long-lead materials approved, released, fabricated, shipped, and delivered before installation.
