  1. Under the Davis-Bacon Act, what wage requirement applies to federally funded construction projects exceeding $2,000?

    Answer: Workers must be paid the locally prevailing wage rate

    The Davis-Bacon Act requires contractors on federal construction projects to pay workers the locally prevailing wages as determined by the Department of Labor.

  2. A project owner requests a 'change order' that significantly increases the project scope. What should the master electrician do FIRST?

    Answer: Assess the cost and time impact, then negotiate and execute a written change order before proceeding

    Before performing any scope changes, the electrician should evaluate impacts and get a written, signed change order to protect against unpaid work disputes.

  3. What does the term 'float' (or 'slack') refer to in project scheduling?

    Answer: The amount of time a task can be delayed without delaying the project completion

    Float (or slack) is the amount of delay a non-critical task can absorb without pushing back the project's final completion date.

    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the foundational federal law prohibiting workplace discrimination based on those five protected characteristics.

  5. A master electrician uses the 'percentage of completion' method for revenue recognition. When is revenue recorded?

    Answer: Proportionally as project work progresses based on costs incurred or milestones reached

    The percentage-of-completion method recognizes revenue incrementally as work is performed, matching income to project progress rather than waiting for full completion.

    Answer: Only the authorized employee who installed it, or their designated supervisor under specific procedures

  7. What is the primary purpose of a 'punch list' at the end of a construction project?

    Answer: To document incomplete or deficient items that must be corrected before final payment

    A punch list is a final inspection document identifying remaining deficiencies or incomplete work items the contractor must address before receiving final payment.
