PDD NCARB PRACTICE EXAM QUESTION ABOUT PROJECT MANUAL
Can someone please clarify below from NCARB PDD PRACTICE EXAM:
It conflicts with the information from Ballast that the bond forms are included with the contract information.
Thank you
The owner provides the architect with specific performance and payment bonds for the project.
In which section should the architect place the performance and payment bond information?
A. | 00 40 00 - Procurement Forms and Supplements |
B. | 00 72 00 - General Conditions |
C. | 00 73 00 - Supplementary Conditions |
D. | 00 50 00 - Contracting Forms and Supplements |
CORRECT RESPONSE
00 73 00 - Supplementary Conditions
Supplementary Conditions is where owner-specific items are located in the specifications. The Supplementary Conditions section supplements (or changes) the general conditions of the contract.

Hello Yvette,
The question is asking where the owner specific requirements for those performance and payment bonds would be located, not where the bond forms themselves would be placed.
NCARB is not affiliated with Ballast, and our volunteer architects utilize the resources listed in the Reference Matrix to author ARE items.

Hello James,
You are correct that the actual bond forms have their own division, 00 61 00. The question though is asking where the owner provided requirements for those bond forms is to be placed. Since that information is a supplement to the general conditions, it would go in section 00 73 00 - Supplementary Conditions. We will revise this item on future releases to make that intent more clear.
