Which contract document would typically contain the specific scope of work, contract price, and completion date for a construction project?
Correct Answer
D) Owner-Contractor Agreement (A101)
The Owner-Contractor Agreement (A101) contains the basic commercial terms including scope, price, and schedule, while A201 contains the general administrative and legal conditions.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The AIA A101 Owner-Contractor Agreement is the primary commercial document that identifies the project-specific terms: the scope of work, contract sum (price), and the contract time (completion date). It is the 'deal sheet' that captures the negotiated particulars of each unique project.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Technical Specifications
Technical Specifications (Division 1–33 of the spec book) describe materials, methods, and quality standards for specific work types. They do not contain contract price or completion dates — those are commercial terms, not technical ones.
Option B: Supplementary Conditions
Supplementary Conditions modify or supplement the General Conditions (A201) for project-specific legal or administrative requirements. They adjust standard clauses but do not contain the contract price or the overall scope narrative.
Option C: General Conditions (A201)
General Conditions (A201) contain the legal and administrative framework governing the relationship between parties — roles, rights, dispute resolution, changes, payments process. They are standardized across projects and intentionally do not contain project-specific commercial terms like price or schedule.
Memory Technique
A101 = 'The Deal' (Price, Scope, Schedule). A201 = 'The Rules' (How disputes are resolved, who does what). Think: you sign A101 first to make the deal, then A201 governs how you execute it.
