We have a troublesome tree, so I asked some tree service how much it would be to get rid of it.
Here is their bid:
What it says is
“Take down and put on ground $400” and
“Remove tree $300”
What they meant to say is that it will be $400 to take it down and then another $300 to remove the debris.
What I think should be written is this:
“Take down and put on ground $400” and
“Remove felled tree $300”
Otherwise, I could say that I don’t want them to put the tree on the ground – just remove it. Then I would pay only $300.
But, unfortunately, I learned earlier this week that mistakes or misunderstandings in quotes and bids are not legally binding.
So I can’t take them up on their offer to remove the tree without taking it down first.
Then you shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and fell every good tree and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

Or an engineer.
Reading and interpreting requirements from the customer comes pretty close to this.
