A 'cost-plus with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP)' contract protects the owner by:
a.Eliminating the need to track actual costs
b.Converting the job into a unit-price contract
c.Guaranteeing the contractor a minimum profit no matter what
d.Capping the total the owner will pay even though billing is based on actual costs plus a fee
解析
A guaranteed maximum price adds a ceiling to a cost-plus arrangement: the contractor is reimbursed actual costs plus a fee, but the owner never pays more than the guaranteed maximum, with the contractor absorbing overruns above the cap. It still requires careful cost tracking to support billings up to the cap. It does not guarantee the contractor a profit and does not change the pricing basis to unit price.
