A contract clause is applied to this fact pattern: which review asks whether the bidder has capacity, experience, resources, and integrity to perform?
Correct Answer
B) Responsible bidder review
Responsible bidder review is the controlling requirement: the distractors are related-looking contract or field terms, but they do not match the cited requirement for review item 202.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Responsible bidder review is the controlling requirement
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Base the responsible bidder response on responsive bid
In procurement and contracting, Responsive bid only is the wrong selection for Responsible bidder: the option delays or omits the controlling step.
Option C: Apply deductive alternate to the responsible bidder condition
Choice C gives Deductive alternate. Its specific error: the choice would not get the project to Responsible bidder review, which is the Responsible bidder result verified by the source. The accepted answer is Responsible bidder review.
Option D: Make final payment the answer for responsible bidder
Choice D (Final payment) is rejected because it names a financial document or payment mechanism, not the Responsible bidder action/result stated by Responsible bidder review. The cited answer is Responsible bidder review.
Memory Technique
File responsible bidder under a stormwater map: condition first, number or duty second, answer Responsible bidder review.
