Indecent Proposal?
A contractor’s suggestion to a local engineering office may—or may not—cross the line.
The Situation
Brocken Hardplace’s firm was hired by Clyint to provide engineering
design services in connection with the design and construction of Clyint’s
building. Part of the services Hardplace’s firm performs includes
assistance when seeking construction bids from contractors. One of the
steel fabrication contractors, an out-of-state company proposing to submit
a construction bid, contacted one of Hardplace’s firm’s local engineering
offices to determine whether the office would be interested in submitting a
proposal to provide engineering review services in connection with the
steel fabrication process.
What Do You Think?
Would it be ethical for the local engineering office to submit a proposal to
provide engineering review services in connection with the steel
fabrication process for the steel fabrication contractor? 1
