摘要

A contract maxim we often see applied in construction cases, contra proferentum, means that an ambiguity in a contract will be construed against the drafter. The idea is to discourage contracting parties from inserting vague clauses into contracts, consistent with the notion that the drafter of an ambiguous clause should bear the responsibility of any untoward effects. There is, however, an important caveat. When there is an obvious ambiguity in the bidding documents, bidders have a duty to clarify the matter before bidding. A recent federal appeals court illustrates the point. In Otis Elevator Company v. WG Yates & Sons Construction Company, the firm WG Yates & Sons entered into a prime contract with the Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority, in Alabama, to expand the latter's baggage claim area. The airport contracted separately with a design firm, Chapman Sisson, to serve as the architect for the project. WG Yates put the escalator work out for bids and awarded a subcontract to Otis Elevator.
