Definition
Municipalities submit traffic signal plans and contracts to Engineer A's DOT division for review, and separately receive state DOT grant funding for airport improvements for which they independently hire consultants. Their dual relationship with the DOT — as regulated entities on highways and as grant recipients for airports — is central to the conflict-of-interest analysis.
