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 seems to be acting without what was termed in case 82-2, an ulterior motive - D's desire is to make information available to improve designs. Even so, informally sharing as-built information is troubling.
Working through informal mechanisms on public projects can give the appearance of impropriety or favoritism.
