Assignment problem question: Alpha is the owner of an equipment installation company. In May, Piggy, a meat market owner,called Alpha and asked whether Alpha could install six used coolers that Piggy had recentlypurchased. The coolers were to be installed in a new meat market that Piggy was opening. Piggyemphasized the need to complete the installation by January 22, in time for the new market'sgrand opening on that day for the Australia Day holiday on January 26. On January 2, Alpha met with Piggy, and after a brief discussion Piggy signed a form entitled“Authorization Agreement." The document provided that: “In consideration of $12,000 to be paid on completion of the work, Alpha will install in Piggy'smeat market six used coolers, including pressurizing all cooling lines and calibrating theequipment for proper temperature within 20 days from the making of this contract." Alpha told Piggy that he would sign the Agreement and send it back to Piggy as soon as Alpha hadverified that he had the necessary compatible fittings for the valves on the used coolers. OnJanuary 5, having verified that the compatible equipment was on hand, Alpha dated, signed, andsent back to Piggy the Authorization Agreement. Alpha’s crew began installing the equipment on Monday, January 17, and by Friday, January 21,had installed five of the six coolers with pressurization and calibration complete. The crew chiefinformed Piggy that he and his crew would be back on Monday, January 24, to finish up theinstallation. Piggy became enraged and told the crew chief that she specifically told Alpha thatinstallation would have to be completed by January 22 and that Alpha would be in breach ofcontract if the chief and his crew waited until Monday to finish up the job. The crew chiefphoned Alpha and informed him of the situation. Alpha, in turn, phoned you, his lawyer,informed you of all ofthe above facts, and asked whether he is contractually obligated tocomplete the installation by January 22 (which means that he will have to pay his crew overtimepay for working on a Saturday), or can they complete the installation on Monday (January 24).
