Post Award is the time from the Notice of Award to the end of which period?

• A. Design
• B. Funding
• C. Warranty
• D. Construction

Answer: (C)

Post award covers the period after the contract is issued and moves the project from procurement into actual delivery and turnover. The phase continues through construction and project closeout and ends with the warranty period. The warranty is the tail end of the contract where the design-build team remains responsible for defects and performance for the defined duration, providing protection to the owner after occupancy and initial use. Design occurs before award, and construction happens during the award phase, while funding isn’t a standalone project phase with a defined end; the warranty marks the true conclusion of post-award obligations.
