Definition
A public sector engineer who manages as-built drawings for a public agency and informally shares or considers sharing them with subcontractors and contractors, both before and after bid openings, raising procurement equity and favoritism concerns. The discussion concludes D must route all such requests through formal procurement channels and should initiate a process to include as-builts in standard project documentation going forward.

Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer D's efforts to make as-built drawings available for reference appears to be acting in the employer's best interest.
Text references
D should not share documents on their own initiative or without formal permission.
Engineer D can advise that as-built drawings are available, but D should direct subcontractors to request them as part of the standard project process.
Engineer D should initiate a process to include as-built drawings, when available, on projects going forward.
Engineer D's efforts to make as-built drawings available for reference appears to be acting in the employer's best interest.
It would be unethical for D to share as-builts with selected contractors pre-bid.
When D provides as-built drawings after bid openings, is employer information being shared without consent?
if information is shared selectively with contractors before bids are opened; will D's actions influence the award of a contract?
