Description

POSNER, Circuit Judge. This diversity suit, though based on an esoteric Indiana statute governing the relations between owners and subcontractors, raises fundamental issues, procedural and contractual, concerning the doctrine of setoff and the distinction between a single contract and multiple contracts. The facts are simple enough. Coplay Cement Company decided to rebuild the electrostatic precipitators at two of its Indiana plants--the plants at Speed and at Logansport. It drew up specs, received bids, and on the basis of the bids issued separate purchase orders for the two jobs, both to Southeast Precip, Inc., at a price of almost $500,000 per job. Southeast turned around and subcontracted the provision of labor on both jobs to the Willis & Paul Group and the provision of materials on both jobs to Cresswell Roll Forming, Inc. The work at Logansport was completed without incident and the electrostatic precipitator there is up and running properly. At Speed, however, Willis & Paul made a mistake in welding steel plates furnished by Cresswell, and as a result Coplay had to hire another firm to rebuild the precipitator for another half million dollars.
