Planning & EstimatingQuestion 549 of 700
Two days before bids are due, the architect issues a document that changes the window schedule for all bidders. What is this document BEST called?
a.An addendum
b.A change order
c.A submittal
d.A punch list
Explanation
A revision issued during the bidding period, before any contract is signed, is an addendum, and it becomes part of the contract documents. A change order modifies an already-executed contract during construction. A submittal is contractor-provided product data for approval. A punch list records incomplete or corrective items near completion. Recognizing the correct instrument ensures the bid reflects the latest scope.
