	Bath Iron Works v. Director, OWCP (1st Cir. 2001)
		BIW argued, however, that the earlier ALJ decision conclusively established that Hutchins was last exposed to toxins during Birmingham's period of coverage.
		BIW maintains that, because no new injury was alleged, the only question before the ALJ was whether the earlier award should be modified upward to compensate Hutchins for the change in his condition to total disability.
		BIW argues (1) that the company was unfairly ambushed by the unexpected scope of the proceedings, (2) that the ALJ lacked authority to re-allocate responsibility, and (3) that the ALJ applied an incorrect legal standard in determining liability.

		BIW asserts that the competition was not conducted on a common basis and that the evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and otherwise improper.
		BIW asserts that the Navy failed to conduct the competition on a common basis when it denied the Blue Team the use of a decommissioned DD 963-Class destroyer for at-sea testing while at the same time accepting for purposes of the evaluation the Gold Team's proposed use of a decommissioned DD 963-Class destroyer.
		BIW asserts that the source selection decision failed to account for the development risk associated with the Gold Team's approach by not considering that there was a [DELETED] likelihood that the development of the peripheral VLS would be abandoned and that the Gold Team instead would rely on its fallback unitary VLS.

		BIW [the Respondent] pays the full cost of your pensions, AandS insurance, life insurance and business travel accident insurance, and pays most of the cost of your healthcare.

	RAND v. BATH IRON WORKS
		[¶3] At the time of the interviews, BIW and its unionized employees were subject to a collective bargaining agreement that contained a "no layoff" provision, which protected those employees who were working at BIW on August 22, 1994.
		BIW asserts that the record evidence supports the trial court's findings, and that the Rand employees' knowledge of the "no layoff" provision must be considered when determining whether the Rand employees were justified in relying on any representations made during the interview.
		Accordingly, unlike fraud or deceit, the defendant's knowledge is largely immaterial for negligent misrepresentation, and the fact-finder's primary task is to ascertain whether the defendant's conduct was reasonable.
