LAW AND BUSINESS OF ENGINEERING AND CONTRACTING WITH NUMEROUS FORMS
AND BLANKS FOR PRACTICAL USE -- PREFACE THE matter contained in
this book is the result or elabora- tion of a series of lectures
delivered to the engineering stu- dents of the University of
Washington during several years past. The additional matter that
has been added in the shape of forms of contracts, specifications,
and blank business forms will be found of advantage to both the
student and the prac- ticing engineer, and it is hoped that the
entire work will be a valuable addition to the engineers library.
It is sincerely hoped that the discussion of the relation between
the engineer and contractor in Chapter I will result, in many
cases, in a better feeling between the engineer and the contractor
as they may come together on contract work. The writer has made it
a lifelong study to further the good feeling that should exist
between them, but must confess to having made so little progress as
to despair of seeing a better condi- tion of affairs result. Yet
the writer is convinced that by continually keeping at it, on the
part of those having this matter at heart, much good will
eventually come about. The subject of ordinary forms of contracts
is one on which there has been much written, and is a subject on
which the engineer should be well posted as to fundamentals. In
addi- tion to reading the standard works on the subject of
contracts, it is very easy for each engineer to get together such
standard forms as are valuable and file them in shape for handy
refer- ence. It is believed that the forms given herein will be
found of much use to everyone as a basis for a larger collection.
The subject of ordinaryspecifications, as treated in Chap- ter 111,
is intended to serve as a discussion of the anatomical structure of
ordinary specifications. No better specifications are to be found
in the world than those in use by the great railroad systems of
this country and practically all of those published by the
engineering journals and kept on sale for general use are of the
best of their respective kinds. Specifications of the War and Navy
Departments, as dis- cussed in Chapter IV, are models of concise
description of the work to which they refer, although it is best
that the engineer should so carefully study the construction for
which he is to let a contract that nothing is left to the judgment
of the bidder, although this is not always possible...
