Overview
Procurement and contracting questions test how scope, price, time, risk, and responsibility move from bid documents into enforceable contract administration.
Core Concepts
- Invitation to bid/request for proposal establishes the procurement process; bidder instructions govern submission requirements.
- Addenda issued before bid modify bidding documents and should be acknowledged as required.
- Bid scope should be reconciled to plans, specifications, alternates, allowances, unit prices, exclusions, and addenda.
Exam Tips
- Bid question: find addenda/scope/alternates first.
- Change question: separate direction to perform work from agreement on price/time.
