For a progress-payment cutoff, which waiver is appropriate when payment has not yet cleared?
Correct Answer
A) Conditional lien waiver tied to receipt of payment
Conditional lien waiver tied to receipt of payment is the controlling requirement: the distractors are related-looking contract or field terms, but they do not match the cited requirement for review item 158.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Conditional lien waiver tied to receipt of payment is the controlling requirement
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Make unconditional final release before payment the answer for lien waiver
The trap in B is Unconditional final release before payment. That selection is wrong because it shifts the question into contract administration money flow.
Option C: Select bid addendum for lien waiver
Choice C gives Bid addendum. Its specific error: it names a financial document or payment mechanism, not the Lien waiver action/result stated by.
Option D: Limit lien waiver to builder's risk policy
Choice D (Builder's risk policy) is rejected because the option does not produce the required Lien waiver outcome.
Memory Technique
Make lien waiver a tabbed card: cite the exact condition, then choose Conditional lien waiver tied to receipt of payment.
