Definition
Engineer C, as owner of Hi-Lo Construction and a licensed engineer, submitted the low bid on the dam project. The Board found that Engineer C, possessing both engineering and contracting expertise, had an obligation to evaluate the adequacy of the design documents before bidding, to include appropriate bid items for additional services if documents were incomplete, or to request clarification, and bore responsibility for the problems encountered in attempting to build the project.

As an engineer and a contractor presumably, Engineer C had the necessary background and experience to carefully evaluate the engineering drawings as well as other aspects of the work in order to make an informed decision as to whether to bid on the project
Engineer C had no one to fault but himself for the problems Engineer C encountered in attempting to build the project
Engineer C submitted the low bid on the project, presumably knowing inadequacies of the documents as well as the obvious risks involved
Engineer C's actions in bidding on an unbuildable contract is also very troubling
