A CCD directs immediate work while price is unresolved. What field record is most important?
Correct Answer
C) Daily force-account records of labor, equipment, material, and production.
When price is unresolved, contemporaneous cost records support later adjustment.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
When price is unresolved, contemporaneous cost records support later adjustment.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The contractor should use the original estimate summary without daily quantity support
Choice A gives Only the bid opening roster. Its specific error: it tries to bypass the Change directive cost tracking checkpoint.
Option B: The contractor should use a monthly schedule update without labor or material detail
Choice B (Only the project logo) is rejected because it leaves the work at an informal or incomplete stage, while Change directive cost tracking requires Daily force-account records of labor, equipment, material, and production.
Option D: The contractor should use a closeout checklist prepared after the directed work is complete
The trap in D is Only the final cleaning checklist. That selection is wrong because the action skips the timing, documentation, or field-control step needed for Change directive cost tracking.
Memory Technique
Picture a checkpoint on the jobsite; change directive cost tracking is solved by the action that leads to Daily force-account records of labor, equipment, material, and production.
