Question 4 (5 points) What should both the superintendent and subcontractor have done while the project was progressing? The project manager for a subcontractor was tasked with providing an estimate for the wall finishes contained in the Division 9. Finishes, package for a year-long grocery store remodel project. The subcontractor was provided with the Division 9 binder that contained the full scope of work in addition to a full set of construction prints. The subcontractor hastily reviewed the scope of work and then began examining the floor plans and details to build the work breakdown structure (WBS). The subcontractor completed the WBS, put together a proposed schedule, and calculated the price to be submitted to the general contractor. The bid was submitted in plenty of time, and the subcontractor was awarded the work a month before the notice to proceed was issued. After seven months into the project, the superintendent for the project asked the subcontractor when would they be ready to install the new plywood sign band that would run around the upper wall of the store's interior. The subcontractor had no clue what the superintendent was talking about. The subcontractor pulled out the WBS that was created and did not see any reference to a sign band anywhere on the list. After several meetings involving the project owner, general contractor, and subcontractor, it was determined that the subcontractor had not included the sign band in the bid. The sign band was listed in the scope of work for wall finishes in the Division 9 binder but was not included on the floor plan. The sign band information was on the reflected ceiling plan, which the subcontractor did not review because the company was not bidding on any ceiling work. If the WBS were double-checked against the scope of work in the Division 9 binder, the discrepancy would have been noticed. Because of the omission, the subcontractor had to expedite the fabrication, finishing. and installation of the sign band. This cost the subcontractor over $35,000 extra. First, have a definite, clear practical ideal: a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends: wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end. - Aristotle
