Description
This case grew out of the following facts and circumstances: On November 18, 1959, a contract was awarded to Hyde Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $16,173,876.86 for the construction of a large concrete spillway, Keystone Dam, Arkansas River, in the State of Oklahoma. The specification of the United States Corps of Engineers, as incorporated in the contract, required that the contractor erect a suitable concrete plant of sufficient capacity to satisfactorily batch, mix and discharge two hundred cubic yards of concrete per hour, and sixteen hundred cubic yards of concrete in any eight-hour shift. The specifications also required that the concrete be placed in the facility at a certain temperature. The Hyde Construction Co., Inc. (hereinafter called Hyde) went about securing a plant and equipment that would produce a concrete mix required by the contract, and entered into negotiations with the Koehring Company (C.S. Johnson Company, Division, hereinafter called Koehring) for the purchase of a plant to manufacture the required mix.
