Holman Erection Co. v. Orville E. Madsen & Sons, Inc.

Supreme Court of Minnesota (1983) | 330 N.W.2d 693; 1983 Minn. LEXIS 1062

3 min read

TL;DR: A general contractor's listing of a subcontractor in its prime bid does not, by itself, constitute acceptance of the subcontractor's bid, thus no contract is formed. The court affirmed summary judgment for the general contractor.

Legal Significance: Establishes that, in Minnesota, a general contractor's mere use or listing of a subcontractor's bid in a prime bid does not form a binding contract, absent further manifestation of assent.
