Properties
Instance of
FormalChannelRequirementforInformationSharinginPublicProcurement
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#FormalChannelRequirementforInformationSharinginPublicProcurement
Applied to
As-built drawing requests from sprinkler contractors pre-bid and post-award
Balancing with
Bid Document Completeness and Material Information Disclosure
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer D must direct contractors to request as-built drawings through standard project processes rather than sharing them informally, ensuring institutional authorization governs all information disclosure
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Interpretation
The formal channel requirement applies both pre-bid and post-award: even when sharing as-built drawings would improve design quality, the sharing must occur through institutionally sanctioned processes to preserve procurement integrity and equal access
Invoked by
Engineer D Public Sector Fire Protection Engineer
State Agency As-Built Information Custodian
Tension resolution
Engineer D can satisfy both the formal channel requirement and the goal of improving designs by initiating a systemic process to include as-built drawings in bid documents going forward, rather than using informal sharing as a workaround
Source Evidence
Source text
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.
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.
Working through informal mechanisms on public projects can give the appearance of impropriety or favoritism.
