Section Content:
Facts: Engineer A works for Engineering Firm X. Firm X is retained by a municipality to design a water treatment facility. Engineer A is assigned work on the design of the water treatment facility. Engineer A would like to also discuss constructability issues with a local contractor, Contractor B, with whom Engineer A has worked and who may potentially also bid on the water treatment facility construction contract following the design phase. While Engineer A believes that the design documents and the overall project would benefit from discussions with Contractor B, Engineer A is concerned that by discussing technical and other aspects of the project with the contractor, Engineer A may be providing the contractor with an unfair advantage during the public bidding process.
