A CM is milling and paving a 2-mile-long bridge with a surface that is in total failure. The owner gave the contractor October 24 as the fixed completion date. Meanwhile, the owner has promised the public that work hours would be 7am-7pm, 5 days per week and that the bridge would be completed by September 1.
The bridge deck is poured on a steel grid deck, but this type of operation has never been performed in the state and complications from weather have slowed progress. The contractor has requested to work nonstop 24/7 to meet the deadline told to the public.
The CM should

• A. meet with the contractor to go over realistic time frames and make a decision.
• B. discuss with the owner and tell the contractor to do only 1/2 of the bridge.
• C. tell the contractor they have until September 1 and can only work 7am-7pm.
• D. meet with the owner and contractor to vet all issues/options and make a decision.

The joint between a cast-in-place wall and a cast-in-place roof slab contains a waterstop for a sub-grade structure. While installing roof beams, the waterstop became dislodged from the already-placed wall. A non- conformance report was issued. The engineer of record's repair detail showed to cut and remove the dislodged waterstop sections. The authority/agency re-approved the detail as the waterstop is part of a secondary waterproofing system and the primary system was deemed sufficient. The contractor did not comply with the detail and placed the concrete roof slab over the dislodged material. In this scenario, which of the following options represents the BEST course of action?

• A. All slab concrete should be removed.
• B. The agency should accept as-is and rely on the primary system.
• C. The concrete should be chopped out, rebar dowels should be drilled into the new slab, and the repair detail should be implemented.
• D. Based on the engineer of record's recommendation, the contractor should develop a repair detail and submit for approval.

Which of the following provides details about the front-end activities of the project during the pre-design and design phases, and highlights major project milestones such as substantial and final completion?

• A. As-Built Schedule
• B. Baseline Schedule
• C. Master Schedule
• D. Milestone Schedule
