Question:

Medalist Golf, Inc., a high-end golf course builder, was working on a new golf course project in Missouri. Chris Williams, doing business as Cane Creek Sod, submitted a bid with Medalist to provide Meyer Zoysia grass sod for the project. Williams and Medalist executed a “grass supplier agreement” that specified the type and quality of grass to be used, as well as the price, and gave Medalist a right to inspect and reject the sod. The parties estimated the quantity of sod needed for the project to be twenty-one acres. Williams had approximately sixty five acres of Meyer Zoysia grass sod growing at the time. The agreement did not specify the amount of sod that Medalist would purchase from Williams, nor did it say that Medalist would buy Williams’s sod exclusively. Later, when Medalist had an expert inspect William’s sod (before it was harvested), the expert concluded that it did not meet the quality standards required for the project. Medalist therefore rejected the sod. Williams sued for breach of contract. Was the “grass supplier agreement” enforceable as a requirements contract? Why or why not? [Williams v. Medalist Golf, Inc., 910 F.3d 1041 (8th Cir. 2018)] (See The Formation of Sales and Lease Contracts.)
