Step 1: Contextual Framework Pass (Facts)

Facts:
Engineer D is a fire protection engineer in the public sector and works for a state agency.
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.
After bids are opened and contracts are awarded, the successful sprinkler contractor asks Engineer D for as-built drawings of the existing sprinkler system.
D provides the drawings.
Over time, 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.
