Engineer C could have requested further clarification from the owner or Engineer A in order to better understand the engineering drawings.
Engineer C had no one to fault but himself for the problems Engineer C encountered in attempting to build the project.
If the engineering documents were incomplete or inadequate, then Engineer C's bid should have reflected that fact and contained appropriate bid items for additional services required to complete the work for the benefit of the owner.
