Which set correctly lists the contract documents?

• A. Agreement, General conditions, Special provisions, Specifications, Drawings
• B. Agreement, Plans, Specifications, Drawings
• C. Agreement, General conditions, Specifications, Drawings
• D. General conditions, Special provisions, Drawings, Specifications

Answer: (A)

The set of contract documents should include the agreement, general conditions, special provisions, specifications, and drawings. The agreement establishes who is bound and the contract price; general conditions outline the overall terms governing the work; special provisions tailor those terms to this specific project; specifications describe the exact requirements for workmanship and materials; drawings provide the graphical representation of the design. This combination is complete and matches the standard practice, ensuring all essential components are included. Other options fall short by omitting one of these elements or by treating Plans as if they were the drawings, which isn’t the standard set in this context.
