Which of the following is most indicative that the winning bid on an original construction project was not feasible?

• A. Missing documentation
• B. Draw requests
• C. Increasing trend in the number of change orders
• D. High turnover in developer's personnel

Answer: (C)

When a bid is not truly feasible, the project tends to reveal itself through how it unfolds after award, especially as changes accumulate. A rising number of change orders signals that the original scope, cost, and schedule were underestimated or based on unstable assumptions. Each change brings added cost and delay, and a growing trend shows the initial bid wasn’t realistically aligned with the actual conditions and requirements, indicating infeasibility from the start.

Administrative issues like missing documentation or routine draw requests can cause delays, and high turnover raises risk, but they don’t directly demonstrate that the winning bid was mispriced or unrealistic in the first place.
