Câu 40: CMM: Certified Construction Manager

An agency CM is representing the public owner of a large international airport constructing a new building on the airfield. There is no additional funding available to add to the budget. The owner chose not to spend money for a subsurface investigation during design. The agency CM learned that there have been several other projects near the site that encountered a variety of difficult subsurface conditions. The agency CM has developed the final pre-bid cost estimate for the project, and it is 10% higher than the total available budget amount. The agency CM advises the owner that scope elements should be adjusted to bring the project cost within budget. The owner insists that no scope elements can be changed, and directs the agency CM to move the 10% contingency. In this situation, the agency CM should take which of the following actions?

1. A. Remove the 10% contingency from the estimate and re-submit it.
2. B. Explain to the owner that the designer was responsible for the scope and therefore responsible for the cost overrun.
3. C. Document the advice and directive from the owner, adjust the scope elements as directed, and monitor and report financial status. — đáp án hiện tại
