The parties to the Construction Agreement are?
(A) General Contractor, Sub Contractor, and
Construction Manager
(B) A/E, General Contractor, and Contract
Administrator
(C) Building Official, and General contractor
(D) Owner, Contractor, and A/E - ANSWER: Answer: D
Reference: PDPG 7.2.3.1
Explanation: (PDPG Figure 5.1) The tripartite relationship among the owner,
contractor,
and A/E is created by obligations to third parties to the contract. For example, the
owner-A/E agreement may require certain duties of the A/E acting on behalf of the
owner
during construction. The contractor has a right to rely on the proper performance of
these
duties. The A/E, similarly, relies on the contractor to perform certain duties
identified in
the owner-contractor agreement, even though the A/E is not a party to that
contract. The
A/E relationship to the contractor in the owner-contractor agreement is a third-party
relationship. These third-party relationships create the third side of the triangle in
the
construction process.(PDPG 7.2.3.1) The owner contracts first with the A/E to design
the
project and to prepare bidding documents. The owner then obtains bids through the
competitive bidding process from bidding contractors. When one of he bidders is
selected
by the owner, the owner will either directly enter into the contract (such as for a
project to
be constructed with public funds), or negotiate the final cost and then enter into the
contract (such as for a privately funded project).

and the drawings, what is the proper way to settle
the dispute?
(A) The drawings have priority
(B) The A/E should interpret
(C) The specifications
(D) Arbitration - ANSWER: Answer: B
Reference: PDPG 11.2.9.4, 13.9.1.1, AIA A201 1.2.1
Explanation: The drawings and specification are complementary documents in
the AIA and EJCDC general conditions. (PDPG 11.2.9.4) Precedence: Questions
of precedence often arise among large scale drawings, small-scale drawings, and
specifications. However, the use of statements in the project manual to establish
the precedence of the various contract documents is not recommended because
the documents are complementary. The general conditions of the contract should
indicate only that in a case of conflict between drawings and specifications, the
A/E will make a documented interpretation. (PDPG 13.9.1.1) When the contract
documents are being interpreted, the contents of the drawings and the
specifications must be considered together. If an item is not addressed in both the
drawings and the specifications, it does not mean that it is not required for the
project. (AIA A201 1.2.1) The Contract Documents are complementary, and what
is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all
