Subject: General Seismic Question

We have a job that we bid which excluded seismic bracing, we are suppose to
start hanging pipe on Monday the 25th. The GC is now telling us that we need
to include seismic and he expects us to eat the cost, if we don't he's going
to use the 2nd place bidder. He says that it was our responsibility to
determine if seismic was required or not. 

1.      Is it ever the sprinkler man's job to determine if seismic is
required? I think not...
2.      If you exclude items in your bid and are awarded the contract isn't
a change order at this point a no brainer?
3.      Can he legally ditch us at this point and go to the number 2 bidder,
we already have pipe fabricated?
