Problem 1
STEAMPRO was awarded a contract to replace steam lines at a major installation. The government did
not show all necessary valves on the drawings attached to the contract. After beginning work,
STEAMPRO found that there were more valves than shown on the drawings. The site visit consisted of
looking down manholes because lines that were to be replaced were leaky, and safety concerns dictated
that no one could enter the area. Service requirements on the other hand dictated that the steam only
be unavailable for a short time, so the system could not be shut down. Although drawings did not show
all valves, the solicitation required ¥placement of all valves. hile installing the replacement pipe, a
government inspector directed some of the contractoràworkers to add a line to feed a separate area of
the building. The inspector thought that this work was included in the contract and was simply clarifying
what workers needed to be doing. It was not specifically included in the contract. STEAMPROÊsuperintendent discovered this new line when it was half completed, told the workers to discontinue
the work and asked the government for direction. She was told to work on other areas pending further
guidance. STEAMPRO had its workers do what work could be done and then asked for further direction,
and, after two weeks, was given a change order to add the line, increasing the amount of needed pipe
by 20 sections. The original contract required 100 sections.
Discuss the governmentàliability, indicating the various theories of recovery available to the
contractor.
Problem 2
Cal Manufacturing shipped 50,000 new uniform shirts to the Uniform Supply Center in Philadelphia PA.
The off the shelf order arrived on Friday, earlier than expected, and on a very busy day for the receiving
department. The shirts were cursorily examined and sent to the warehouse for storage. A few weeks
later, on closer examination, it was found that the epaulets were missing.
What are the Uniform Supply Centeràrights, if any?
