A claims log entry raises this question: which waiver is appropriate when payment has not yet cleared?
Correct Answer
C) 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 244.
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 A: Unconditional final release before payment; under a different bidding requirement
The trap in A is Unconditional final release before payment; under a different bidding requirement. That selection is wrong because it names a financial document or payment mechanism, not the Lien waiver action/result stated by.
Option B: Bid addendum
Choice B gives Bid addendum. Its specific error: the option answers a paperwork, payment, or bonding issue.
Option D: Builder's risk policy
In procurement and contracting, Builder's risk policy is the wrong selection for Lien waiver: the choice would not get the project.
Memory Technique
Link lien waiver to its book condition; a different condition means a different answer than Conditional lien waiver tied to receipt of payment.
