A quality-control review flags the following point: what document allocates the contract sum to work categories for pay-application review?
Correct Answer
B) Schedule of values
Schedule of values is the controlling requirement: the distractors are related-looking contract or field terms, but they do not match the cited requirement for review item 271.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Schedule of values is the controlling requirement
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Base the schedule of values response on bid bond
The trap in A is Bid bond. That selection is wrong because it shifts the question into contract administration money flow.
Option C: Base the schedule of values response on notice of award
Choice C (Notice of award) is rejected because it leaves out the controlling Schedule of values result: Schedule of values.
Option D: Base the schedule of values response on warranty call log
In procurement and contracting, Warranty call log is the wrong selection for Schedule of values: the choice would not get the project to Schedule of values, which is the Schedule of values result verified by the source.
Memory Technique
Treat schedule of values like a labeled shelf; only the matching condition belongs with Schedule of values.
