OPINION
NETTESHEIM, Judge.
The issues to be decided on cross-motions for summary judgment are twofold. The first is whether the parties’ contract apprised a reasonably prudent contractor that marine divers would be required in the placement of pier timber bracings in the Mississippi River to repair a wharf deck at a small Navy boat landing. The second is, assuming that the contract was ambiguous, whether the ambiguity was patent or latent. The case was reassigned to this judge after argument had been held.
