The joint between a cast-in-place wall and a cast-in-place roof slab contains a waterstop for a sub-grade structure. While installing roof beams, the waterstop became dislodged from the already-placed wall. A non- conformance report was issued. The engineer of record's repair detail showed to cut and remove the dislodged waterstop sections. The authority/agency re-approved the detail as the waterstop is part of a secondary waterproofing system and the primary system was deemed sufficient. The contractor did not comply with the detail and placed the concrete roof slab over the dislodged material. In this scenario, which of the following options represents the BEST course of action?
A. Based on the engineer of record's recommendation, the contractor should develop a repair detail and submit for approval.
B. The concrete should be chopped out, rebar dowels should be drilled into the new slab, and the repair detail should be implemented.
C. All slab concrete should be removed.
D. The agency should accept as-is and rely on the primary system.
正解：A
解説：
PerCMAA Standards of Practice (Chapter 5 - Quality Management and Chapter 6 - Contract Administration), when non-conforming work is discovered and the contractor fails to comply with approved corrective instructions, the appropriate procedure is for thecontractor to submit a proposed corrective action or repair detailfor review and approval by theengineer of recordand theowner.
The SOP emphasizes:
"The contractor is responsible for proposing a corrective action for nonconforming work. The CM shall ensure the proposal is reviewed and approved by the design professional and owner prior to implementation." Accepting the condition as-is (Option C) would be improper without formal approval, and unilateral removal or demolition (Options B or D) should only occur after the approved corrective process is completed.

When developing schedule specifications, which of the following practices should the CM recommend to the Owner to avoid disputes regarding weatherdelays per year?
A. Defer all issues related to weather to NOAA.
B. Consult a local meteorologist to determine the best estimate of the number of weather days to allow on the project.
C. Ask the contractor to specify the number of weather days they believe necessary for the project.
D. Using a recognized reference such as NOAA. define the number of allowable "normal" weather impact days expected to occur on the project within the contract documents.
正解：D
解説：
TheCMAA Standards of Practice (Chapter 4 - Time Management)specifies that project schedule specifications should clearly defineexpected normal weather delaysbased on reliable climatological data to avoid disputes. The SOP states:
"The CM should recommend use of established meteorological data sources, such as NOAA, to define the number of normal adverse weather days anticipated in the schedule specification." This ensures consistency, fairness, and transparency in contract administration. Allowing the contractor to determine weather allowances (Option B) or deferring all responsibility to external sources (Options C and D) introduces ambiguity and potential disputes.

An agency CM is representing the public owner of a large, complex project with numerous site challenges.
The owner has received numerous differing site condition claims on previous projects on this site. The agency CM has reviewed the bid documents and believes the site challenges are clearly and sufficiently detailed for bidders. This is a design-bid-build, lump sum procurement. The apparent low bid is more than 10% lower than the next lowest bid, and the owner is very concerned that the apparent low bidder has not included the cost of mitigating the site challenges in its bid. What should the agency CM do?
A. Ask the designer to verify that the technical specifications describing the site challenges in sufficient detail.
B. Conduct a post-bid interview with the apparent low bidder to determine if the bidder has a clear understanding of the site challenges.
C. Conduct a post-bid conference to see if all bidders included the cost of mitigating the site challenges in their bids.
D. Make the recommendation to the owner to reject all bids and re-advertise the project.
正解：A
解説：
According to CMAA's recommendedOwners Risk Reduction Techniques(when using a CM for owner's risk control), one of the CM's roles is to help the owner ensure clarity of site conditions and contract documents especially when prior history on the site includes claims for differing site conditions. The CM should engage the design team to verify whether the contract documents properly capture the known site risks in adequate detail before awarding a bid.
In a design-bid-build, lump sum contract, the contractors rely on the documents and specifications as the basis of their bids. If the apparent low bid is significantly below others (e.g., >10% lower), that discrepancy raises suspicion that the low bidder may have omitted or under-priced site risk mitigation. The CM should not directly interrogate bidders or conduct post-bid interviews that might create unfairness or violate procurement rules. Rather, the correct approach is for the CM to consult with the designer to confirm whether the bid documents adequately and clearly described the site challenges. If deficiencies or ambiguities are found, the owner may need to issue clarifications, addenda, or consider re-advertising.
Thus, the prudent and contract-compliant first step is:A. Ask the designer to verify that the technical specifications describing the site challenges in sufficient detail.
質問 # 46
The current construction market is extremely busy, and the trade/sub-contractors are being very selective in the projects they bid on. What options do owners have when the marketplace is vastly different from when their project was a concept to when its ready to be advertised?
A. Advertise the project and award to lowest bidder.
B. Market conditions should not be a factor in when a project is advertised.
C. Postpone advertising for one year.
D. Consider the impacts of current market conditions and revise project strategy.
正解：D
解説：
CMAA encourages the CM and owner to respond adaptively to changing conditions in the market rather than rigidly follow plans that become unrealistic. The owner and CM should continuously monitor external factors, such as contractor availability, market pricing escalation, and risk, and adapt the procurement and strategy accordingly. In a wildly different market, proceeding blindly (as in A or C) could lead to failed bids or cost overruns. Postponement (option B) may be an option, but doing so for a fixed period (one year) is inflexible and risky. The prudent option, consistent with CMAA's advocacy for adaptable project management and risk mitigation, is toconsider the impacts of current market conditions and revise the project strategy.
質問 # 47
An inexperienced client on a design-bid-build project states that they do not want the designer to assist in the review of submittals, respond to Requests for Information (RFIs). or conduct any site inspections during the construction phase. How should the CM respond to the client's request?
A. Ignore the client and continue coordinating with the design professional to provide these necessary services as part of their contract.
B. Agree with the client that this will save the project from unnecessary costs and report that the design documents should be error-free.
C. Review the Project Management Plan (PMP) and proceed accordingly.
D. Review the Project Procedures Manual (PPM) and then discuss with the client why their approach may add more risk to the project.
正解：D
解説：
CMAA's Standards of Practice assert the importance of properly defining roles, responsibilities, and risk allocations in the early planning phases (in the Project Procedures Manual and/or Project Management Plan).
The CM's role includes advising the owner of risks associated with the chosen approach. The CM should use the PPM (or the procedures already established) to inform the owner that omitting design professional services during construction (submittals review, RFI responses, inspections) increases the owner's exposure to errors, claims, and omissions.
Choosing option A means referring back to the formal procedures already agreed upon, educating the client about added risks, and working collaboratively to preserve necessary design-phase involvement. Option B would be insubordinate to the client's direction, C is naively optimistic (design documents are rarely perfect), and D is too passive-it doesn't confront the risk issue effectively.
Thus, reviewing the PPM and discussing the risks with the client is the proper CM response.
