Lockheed Martin Idaho Technical Company (LMITCO) (plaintiff) requested bids for a comprehensive fire-alarm system in its 12 buildings located in Idaho Falls. Mountain West Electric (MWE) (defendant) was in the business of installing electrical wiring, conduit, and related hookups and attachments. Fox provided services in designing, drafting, testing, and assisting in the installation of fire-alarm systems. The parties decided that it would be better for them to work together, with MWE taking the lead on the project. The parties prepared a document defining each of their roles and jointly prepared a bid. MWE was awarded the LMITCO fixed-price contract. In May 1996, Fox began performing various services at the direction of MWE's manager.
