Document Summary
Interpretation of a contract techniques contra proferentem the parol evidence rule. The tendering process starts with the owner providing information about the job, tendering process with people bid (submit a tender). Owner then evaluates and selects a winner and then the work is done. For this class we are looking at the issue of mistake. What is there is an error or mistake for what is being submitted, how the law abides to a bid that has been mistaken. Example of how the court used to look at the tendering process and selection process. It only saw one contract taking place; the contract of the work being done. At the time, a bid submitted was seen as an offer. Selecting a winner is an acceptance, thus leading a contract. Bell river- the amount that was bid was an error because sub amounts were missed and undocumented. The meaning of obvious is that the owner could independently discover the mistake.
