Description
BISTLINE, Justice BACKGROUND AND PRIOR PROCEEDINGS In January 1983, the Washington State Department of Transportation ("WSDOT")
awarded a prime contract to Seubert Excavators, Inc. ("Seubert") for reconstruction of 7.2 miles of highway in south-central
Washington. The contract called for (a) grading, including excavation and installation of culverts, (b) crushing rock and
placing it on the road, and (c) paving the road. The prime contract, which incorporated various WSDOT standard specifications,
specified that work would begin on April 1, 1983 and be substantially completed by September 21, 1983, and provided for liquidated
damages and actual engineering costs in the event of delay. Seubert subcontracted the grading and excavation work to Eucon Corporation, d/b/a Steelman-Duff ("Steelman-Duff"), retained
the rock-crushing and rock placement work for itself, and subcontracted the paving work to Transtate Paving ("Transtate").
The subcontract with Steelman-Duff directed Steelman-Duff to "continue diligently in the performance" of the project and "to
fully complete all of said work to the satisfaction of the CONTRACTOR and PRINCIPAL by September 30, 1983."
