An agency CM is representing the public owner of a large, complex project with numerous site challenges.
The owner has received numerous differing site condition claims on previous projects on this site.

• B.Ask the designer to verify that the technical specifications describing the site challenges in sufficient detail.
• C.Conduct a post-bid conference to see if all bidders included the cost of mitigating the site challenges in their bids.
