| Abstrakt: | This research attempts to track patterns of centralization and decentralization of construction contracting, use of idiosyncratic or standardized contract clauses, insistence on dogmatic or allowance of innovative contracting regulations, and deployment of individualized or uniform facility designs by the US military during the period from 1861 to 1918. Questions to be answered by the study are the degree to which legislative, executive and judicial branches of government reacted to incompetency and wrongdoing during the period, and how those responsible for discharging duties related to the contracts tried to muddle through until practicality and reasonableness eventually emerged. |
