Thompson’s proposal for a building construction contract was for $125,500. After finding that his bid was low, he checked his estimates and found that an item of $25,000 had been incorrectly recorded as $2,500 in making the summary of costs. Can he remove his bid? Is the contract likely to be valid? Why or why not? Explain your answer. To receive full credit, you should use the legal terms discussed in class.

You are the environmental specialist for a company that has just purchased a property and started construction of a home office. During excavation you find that the site is part of an inactive landfill. Testing of soil samples shows that vinyl chloride, a hazardous waste, is present in concentrations that exceed regulatory standards. What is your next action? If the remediation of the problem is very costly, will you seek participation by other parties? If so, why?

There are two steel I beams in a construction cite. The I beam A has 3" long stringer in the middle of the beam in the center of shear web and the second beam (beam B) has multiple edge cracking (0.1" deep) due to improper rolling process in the same middle area as beam A in both top and bottom flanges. As an engineer discuss which of the discontinuities will be more likely to be considered as a defect? Why?

Lane and Louis were limited partners in a real estate venture. After the business was in financial difficulty, these limited partners had two meetings with the general partners to discuss the problems of the venture. In addition, Lane visited the construction site and “obnoxiously” complained about the work that was being conducted. Do these actions constitute taking part in the control of the business so that the limited partners become liable as general partners? Explain.
