National Soil Services v. Ray E. Hurst

CONNOR, Justice. OPINION National Soil Services and the other defendants appeal from a judgment awarding Hurst $23,338.00. Hurst cross-appeals from the same judgment. On March 24, 1969, the Trans Alaska Pipeline System sent Alaska Geological Consultants , a partnership comprised of Hamilton, Moening, and Purcell (all were defendants in the action in the superior court), an invitation to submit a proposal for subsurface exploration and laboratory testing. The exploration and testing involved sinking bore holes on land and offshore, as well as the recovery and analysis of the obtained samples to establish the geophysical make-up of the tested area. TAPS set April 10, 1969, as the deadline for bid submission.
