It shouldn't be difficult to picture the
following situation: One of your subs
sends you a quote, which you then use as
part of your bid as general contractor on
a project. You don't accept the sub's
quote, however, because you're waiting
to see if you get the job. After the owner
accepts your bid, but before you can get
back to the sub to accept his quote, the
sub discovers that he's made a mistake
with his figures.
In this all-too-common scenario,
somebody always gets burned. It's just a
question of who.
If you knew or should have realized
that the sub's quote was too good to be
true, then you can't use it in
