It appears under the facts that Engineer B was retained specifically for the sole and exclusive purpose of designing the structural footings for the facility.

It appears under the facts that Engineer B was retained specifically for the sole and exclusive purpose of designing the structural footings for the facility.
while it may be possible for Engineer B as a consultant to the contractor to retain the services of a competent structural engineer to design the structural footings for the facility, we do not think this would be feasible under the facts
