1.was engineer Imar right in accepting the gift certificates? why? or why not?
Answers
Answer:
Engineers A, B, and C are principals or employees of a consulting engineering firm which does an extensive amount of design work for private developers. The engineers are involved in recommending to the developers a list of contractors and suppliers to be considered for selection on a bidding list for construction of the projects. Usually, the contractors and suppliers recommended by the engineers for the selected bidding list obtain most of the contracts from the developers. Over a period of years the officers of the contractors or suppliers developed a close business and personal relationship with the engineers of the firm.
Answer:
No, because it will cause bias when Engr. Imar facilitates the invitation to bid for the project.
Explanation:
Accepting the gift certificates will make Engr. Imar more inclined to the bidder, Willy Loyola, and will cause unfairness to the other bidders, especially when the others find out what happened.
