Modified Forms.—Often an engineering c<strong>on</strong>tract is based <strong>on</strong> detailed<br />

plans and specificati<strong>on</strong>s of an architect or engineer. In such<br />

case the preparati<strong>on</strong> of a c<strong>on</strong>tract proposal by the sales engineer is<br />

indeed hazardous, unless he makes a most careful study and correct<br />

interpretati<strong>on</strong> of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>complete</str<strong>on</strong>g> plans and specificati<strong>on</strong>s so as to in-<br />

sure against errors of omissi<strong>on</strong> in estimating and to satisfy himself<br />

that no c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s or requirements are at variance with his employer's<br />

prescribed business policy. Once satisfied that all terms and c<strong>on</strong>-<br />

diti<strong>on</strong>s can be complied with, the c<strong>on</strong>tract proposal by the sales<br />

engineer should be very brief, simply setting forth the scope and purpose<br />

of the work to be d<strong>on</strong>e by specific reference to numbered and<br />

dated plans and specificati<strong>on</strong>s of the architect or engineer handling<br />

the commissi<strong>on</strong>, the commissi<strong>on</strong> number, the specific branch of the<br />

work involved, and close by stipulating the price or valuable c<strong>on</strong>-<br />

siderati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

If certain terms or c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s can not be complied with, and it is<br />

the desire, nevertheless, to bid for the work, the objecti<strong>on</strong>able terms<br />

and c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s should be carefully listed as excepti<strong>on</strong>s; thus:<br />

The materials to be furnished and the work to be d<strong>on</strong>e<br />

under this proposal shall be in accordance with plans and<br />

specificati<strong>on</strong>s of Mr. Albert Q. Simm<strong>on</strong>s, Architect and Engineer,<br />

Chicago, Illinois, his commissi<strong>on</strong> S7056, drawings<br />
