The agent CM is managing a contract that installs interior finish work for an
underground pedestrian tunnel. The concrete shell was constructed under another
contract over a year ago. The shell contract specified embeds in the cast-in-place
ceilings for hanging all-threads to support chilled water pipes. The finish contractor

expansion anchors. Which of the following is the CM's best course of action?
a. Issue a change order to the finish contractor for the epoxy embeds. Seek to
recover the designer or shell contractor
b. Contact the shell designer to design and contrite the repair based on the submittal

d. Ask a third-party task order contractor to design and install the retrofit with that
charge to the shell contractor and shell designer in proportion to their contract dollar
