Câu 50: CMM: Certified Construction Manager

An agency CM is representing the public owner of a large international airport that is building a new structure on the airfield. The owner has made it clear that the project budget cannot be exceeded. The CM developed the 90% cost estimate, which was right at the project budget limit. The CM subsequently learned that there have been several other projects near the site that have encountered a variety of difficult subsurface conditions, including an unusually high water table, granite ledge, and soils contaminated with hazardous materials. The CM develops the 100% cost estimate and includes a 10% contingency to account for the subsurface risk, making the estimate 10% higher than the budget limit. In this scenario, the CM should

1. A. remove the 10% contingency from the estimate and submit it to the owner.
2. B. advise the owner and designer that scope elements should be adjusted to bring the cost within budget. — đáp án hiện tại
