Best Price Sam is a very competitive contractor who is always looking for a new contract and is forever looking for a way to cut costs and get the lowest bid. He tells everyone he is looking out for the owner by always looking for the best way to meet their needs at the lowest price. He is looking at a contract to build a very large retaining wall out of split face block with a geotechnical grid to provide stability to the soils. The project, designed by Johnny Appleseed Geotechnical Engineers, was developed after analyzing both the engineering aspects of the soil as well as the chemical aspects of the soil. While it is clear that Johnny Appleseed was not directly involved in the construction, it is also clear they made no effort to inform their client of the limitations of the design. The contractor clearly violated the contract requirements and should be available to address the post-construction concerns.
