When acting as an agent of the owner, what is true about a construction manager bonding a multi-prime job?

When acting as an agent of the owner in a multi-prime job scenario, it is not typically standard practice for a construction manager to bond the project. Multi-prime contracting involves multiple contractors working on a project with the owner managing these contractors directly. In this arrangement, each contractor is generally responsible for their own bonding requirements. Since the owner takes on the risk and responsibility of managing multiple contracts, bonding typically falls on the individual contractors rather than the construction manager.

Additionally, bonding is often associated with ensuring that a contractor can fulfill their obligations under the contract. In a multi-prime scenario, since the owner has a more direct relationship with the various prime contractors, the need for the construction manager to provide bonding is diminished. This reflects a broader industry practice where such arrangements do not commonly require the construction manager to bond the job, making option B accurate in this context.
