Concrete expression
Engineer A omitted two of the four funding-agency-approved delivery methods, Fixed-Price-Design-Build and Construction-Manager-at-Risk, from the summary memo, presenting only Design-Bid-Build and Progressive-Design-Build as viable options.
Confidence
0.92
Interpretation
The principle required Engineer A to analyze all four approved delivery methods and to disclose and justify any exclusion. The omission of Construction-Manager-at-Risk is particularly significant because Engineer A is also qualified to provide services under that method, and its exclusion cannot be explained by Engineer A's own competence limitations.
Tension resolution
The complete options analysis obligation was not satisfied. The selective presentation of options shaped City B's decision space in a manner that favored the option under which Engineer A could provide services.
