A101
Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor where the basis of payment is a Stipulated Sum (for Construction) Used with A201, General Conditions Used with A101–2017, Exhibit A, Insurance and Bonds These are typically used for large projects with a fixed payment amount. These include three basic categories of information: schedule, cost, and the scope of the work. While this is a contract between the owner and the contractor, the Architect or Interior Designer is listed because their drawings are part of the contract

34
A151
Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Vendor for Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment
35
Commonly used in residential design. The client pays a specific markup on the actual cost of the merchandise and other items that the designer sells to the client.
Cost-plus percentage markup
36
Cost-plus fixed fee
Commonly used in commercial design by contractors. The client pays the actual cost of the work plus an amount for the overhead and profit. This includes all trade subcontractor work, labor, materials, and equipment.
37
Square foot pricing
common in commercial projects. The fee is determined by a rate per square foot multiplied by the amount of square footage of the project.
38
Percentage of actual construction/merchandise cost
Based on a negotiated percentage of the construction cost or the cost of goods and installation for the project.
39
Value-oriented method
The design firm prices services based on the value or quality of the services instead of focusing on the cost of providing those services. This fee method works for design firms whose services have prestige value in the marketplace.
40
Out-of-pocket reimbursable expenses
These are expenses that are not part of the services billing. But these are made to complete the project and are typically billed to the client with a service charge. Reimbursable and non-reimbursable direct costs are considerations in all fee options. It’s possible to combine several compensation options into a singular agreement. Each would tie to a specific scope of services provided. Compensation options with consultants are separate and different from the prime agreement.
41
Billing Rate
employee paid+fringe benefits+overhead+allowance for profit | travel cost - reimbursable
42
most fire resistive construction type
Type I
43
Acoustic glass is also known as
laminated glass
44
2 layers of glass with an inner layer of PVB, and provides superior acoustic privacy
laminated glass
45
typically used in 1/2″ (12.7 mm) or 5/8″ (15.9 mm) thickness
Type R (regular) boards
46
fire-rated partitions and are more fire-resistive The core contains noncombustible fibers (fiberglass) mixed with gypsum. If subjected to fire, they maintain their structural integrity longer
Type X boards
47
These boards employ several different proprietary technologies to resist mold and moisture absorption.
Mold-and-moisture-resistant (MMR) boards
48
— boards are specified for bathroom walls and ceilings because of the greater relative humidity in bathrooms
Mold-and-moisture-resistant (MMR) boards
49
stronger than gypsum boards of the same thickness but more difficult to install
Portland Cement Boards
50
used as an underlayment for ceramic tile flooring
Portland Cement Boards
51
water-cooled chillers and air-based cooling systems contain
evaporator compressor condenser expansion valve
52
Liquid refrigerant flows over an — —— tube bundle
evaporator
53
It absorbs heat from the chilled water circulating through the bundle
evaporator
54
——— draws refrigerant vapor from the evaporator pumps it to the condenser, raising its pressure and temperature. As refrigerant condenses on or in the condenser tubes, heat is emitted, cooling the water or air.
compressor
55
high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes from the ——— through the ———, reducing the pressure and temperature as it enters the evaporator. It then flows over the chilled coils absorbing more heat and completing the cycle
condenser | expansion valve
56
NFPA ——— sets specific requirements for installation, location, and maintenance for smoke d etection systems
NFPA 72
57
NFPA ——— specifies requirements for flame detection alarm systems or radiant energy-sensing systems

58
three types of flame detectors
Optical Detectors UV Detectors Infrared Detectors
59
use sensors to detect when flames are present
Optical Detectors
60
detect radiation within four milliseconds of ignition. Some have a time delay to prevent accidental triggers from lightning
UV Detectors
61
thermal imaging to sense the hot gases produced by a fire, like carbon dioxide. The typical alert time for IR detectors is 3-5 seconds.
Infrared Detectors
62
——— detector required outside each separate sleeping area in new construction. If a fuel‐burning device like a gas fireplace is in the bedroom, a detector or alarm must also be included.

67
stairways serving an occupant load of 49 or less must not be less than
36”
68

0. 2 for stair | 0. 15 egress component other than stairways
69
The minimum dimension in the direction of travel must not be less than the width of the stair but need not be more than
48” if the stair is straight run
70
The risers of the stair cannot be less than ——— or more than ———.
4” | 7”
71
For residential occupancies and private stairways serving an occupant load less than 10, the maximum riser may be ——— and the minimum tread may be ———
7 3/4” | 10”
72
the top of the handrail must be between
34 in and 38 in
73
gripping portion cannot be less than ——— or more than ———
1 1/4 in | 2 in
