Instance of

http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ProcurementIntegrityinPublicEngineering
Applied to
State agency procurement process for major building renovation projects
Balancing with
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
The state agency's bid process for building renovation projects is compromised by the omission of as-built drawing references from bid documents and the subsequent informal disclosure of those drawings to select contractors, creating conditions of unequal competition in publicly funded procurement
Confidence
0.91
Importance
high
Interpretation
Procurement integrity requires not only a fair formal award process but also an information environment in which all bidders can compete on equal terms with access to the same material technical data
Invoked by
Engineer D As-Built Information Custodian
State Agency As-Built Information Custodian
Tension resolution
Procurement integrity obligations require Engineer D to correct the bid document deficiency and cease informal information sharing that creates bidder advantage
Source Evidence
Source text
The agency advertises for bids on major building renovation projects; the bid documents made no reference to existing as-builts or drawings for the bidders' or awarded contractor's use.
Text references

sprinkler contractors who received as-built drawings from Engineer D in the past begin to ask for these documents when projects are advertised, before bids are turned in
