Text references
Engineer A is the part-time town engineer for Smithtown and also has a consulting engineering practice.
Engineer A, in his role as town engineer, reviews Engineer B's preliminary work and becomes convinced that Engineer B's performance on the contract does not meet the standards as outlined in Engineer B's contract with the town.
