Obligation statement
Engineer D was obligated, upon learning that sprinkler contractors were requesting as-built drawings pre-bid, to recognize that equitable practice required formalizing equal pre-bid access for all prospective bidders and to advocate for or implement that procedural correction within the agency.
Temporal scope
Upon learning that contractors were requesting as-built drawings pre-bid
Source Evidence
Source text
Because as-builts are useful and can help improve designs, Engineer D should initiate a process to include as-built drawings, when available, on projects going forward.

Text references
Because as-builts are useful and can help improve designs, Engineer D should initiate a process to include as-built drawings, when available, on projects going forward.
It would be unethical for D to share as-builts with selected contractors pre-bid.
Working through informal mechanisms on public projects can give the appearance of impropriety or favoritism.
