Read your contract, call your lawyer, LOL .
Bill Minkel, Designer Western States Fire Protection, Dallas NFPA Member #2578666 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 10:00 AM To: [email protected] 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?
