Excerpt from A Manual of Engineering Specifications and Contracts: Designed as a Text-Book and Work of Reference for All Who May, Be Engaged in the Theory or Practice of Engineering In preparing a piece of work for letting, the duties of the Engineer are manifold. He must first Of all have a clear conception of the thing to be done, and must give graphical expression to this idea, both by drawings and writing. It then becomes necessary to inform himself as to the probable cost of the proposed work, and if within reasonable limits, and he desire to let it, he must next notify contractors, and others, by such public announce ments as will reach the largest number of reliable parties. It is thus seen that the preparation of the drawings, esti mates, specifications and advertisements are all duties of the Engineer, which he has heretofore been allowed to learn as necessity required, and Often on the spur of the moment. But his duties do not end here to insure the rapid and faithful execution of the work, he generally prepares the form of bid, with certain instructions to bidders, giving restrictions with which they must comply to render their bids valid, and finally, to adopt a form of agreement which shall be approved by both parties to the contract. The duties of the contractor are simply to examine 'drawings and specifications, or the site of the work.
