0.93
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer B
Obligation statement
Engineer B was obligated to verify, before accepting the contractor's retention for structural footing design, that their competence — established by both education AND relevant experience in structural engineering — was sufficient to perform the work, and to decline the engagement given the absence of structural engineering background.
Temporal scope
Before accepting the retention from the construction contractor
