Under bidding documents that reserve award selection to the owner, who decides which listed alternates to accept?

Correct Answer

A) The owner under the bid and contract documents

The owner makes the award selection under the bidding rules and applicable law, including acceptance of alternates. A subcontractor, inspector or surety does not ordinarily choose the owner’s purchased scope. The AIA A701 comparative reference illustrates that role; its specific selection procedure is not imposed on every procurement.
