Complementary Bidding in Construction Projects
SITUATION:
Several paving contractors in two southern states participated in an anticompetitive scheme known as complementary bidding or bid rigging. Prospective competitors on a particular paving contract would select a “winning” bidder amongst themselves. The designated contractor would submit its bid for the project, while the other contractors would knowingly submit bids having a higher dollar amount or containing terms the contractors knew would be unacceptable to the state entity letting the contract. The scheme would thus create the illusion of a competitive bidding process while ensuring that a particular paving contractor ultimately received the contract award.

Complementary Bidding in Construction Projects
SITUATION:
Several paving contractors in two southern states participated in an anticompetitive scheme known as complementary bidding or bid rigging. Prospective competitors on a particular paving contract would select a “winning” bidder amongst themselves. The designated contractor would submit its bid for the project, while the other contractors would knowingly submit bids having a higher dollar amount or containing terms the contractors knew would be unacceptable to the state entity letting the contract. The scheme would thus create the illusion of a competitive bidding process while ensuring that a particular paving contractor ultimately received the contract award.

accept the invitation. [10 marks ] CASE 2 Engineer A, who is employed by a forensic
engineering firm, is called upon to serve as an expert witness in a lawsuit about the quality of
services provided by a manufacturer. Engineer B has the position of engineering manager at this
time. Engineer A testified at trial, based on his extensive background in safety engineering, that
the manufacturing company's safety policies were insufficient and likely led to the injuries
sustained by certain workers. Engineer B, several months later, made comments to the engineers
and others in which he accused Engineer A of acting unprofessionally and unethically, claiming
that Engineer A was biased because he had omitted key details from his testimony and instead
focused on circumstances that benefited his client. Engineer B did not provide any substantive
support for his claim that Engineer A has breached any of his professional duties. If Engineer A
testified as mentioned, is it unethical for Engineer B to comment without evidence that Engineer
A acted unprofessionally and unethically? [10 marks] Please use the ethics code provided on the

Engineers are often required to act as expert witnesses and advisors. As expert witnesses, they must provide independent and impartial evidence to help explain technical issues to courts or tribunals. They may need to prepare reports, meet with other experts, and provide testimony in trials. As advisors, engineers must study problems objectively and consider all technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects before formulating recommendations. They should serve the public interest above all others and adopt a value-guided advocacy role. Choosing experts with clear communication skills and authoritative knowledge is paramount.
The document outlines a code of engineering ethics, beginning with definitions of codes and codes of ethics. It then presents the preamble, which establishes engineering as an important profession requiring honesty, impartiality, and dedication to public health and safety. The code of ethics contains fundamental canons and rules of practice that engineers must follow, such as holding public safety as paramount and performing only in their areas of competence. It also lists professional obligations for engineers to uphold high ethical standards and avoid conflicts of interest or harming other engineers' reputations. Finally, it explains that codes of ethics provide guidance for engineers to make ethical decisions beyond what is addressed by laws.
1. The document discusses professional ethics for architects, including obligations to the public, clients, profession and colleagues. It outlines ethical standards from codes of conduct that govern architects.

1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case)Natali.docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case)
Natalie got the call she had been waiting for over six long months. Her complaint to the human resources department of Franklin Industries had been dismissed. It was HR’s conclusion that she was not retaliated against for reporting an alleged embezzlement by the Accounting Department manager. In fact, HR ruled there was no embezzlement at all. Natalie had been demoted from assistant manager of the department to staff supervisor seven months ago after informing Stuart Masters, the controller, earlier in 2015, about the embezzlement. Her blood started to boil as she thought about all the pain and agony she’d experienced these past six months without any level of satisfaction for her troubles.
Natalie Garson is a CPA who works for Franklin Industries, a publicly owned company and manufacturer of trusses and other structural components for home builders throughout the United States. Six months ago she filed a complaint with HR after discussing a sensitive matter with her best friend and coworker, Roger Harris. Natalie trusted Harris, who had six years of experience at Franklin. The essence of the discussion was that Natalie was informed by the accounting staff of what appeared to be unusual transactions between Denny King, the department manager, and an outside company no one had never heard of before. The staff had uncovered over $5 million in payments, authorized by King, to Vic Construction. No one could find any documentation about Vic, so the staff dug deeper and discovered that the owner of Vic Construction was Victoria King. Further examination determined that Victoria King and Denny King were siblings.
Once Natalie was convinced there was more to the situation than meets the eye, she informed the internal auditors, who investigated and found that Vic Construction made a $5 million electronic transfer to a separate business owned by Denny King. One thing lead to another, and it was determined by the internal auditors that King had funneled $5 million to Vic Construction, which, at a later date, transferred the money back to King. It was a $5 million embezzlement from Franklin Industries.
Natalie met with Roger Harris that night and told him about the HR decision that went against her. She was concerned whether the internal auditors would act now in light of that decision She knew the culture at Franklin was “don’t rock the boat.” That didn’t matter to her. She was always true to her values and not afraid to act when a wrongdoing had occurred. She felt particularly motivated in this case—it was personal. She felt the need to be vindicated. She hoped Roger would be supportive.
As it turned out, Roger cautioned Natalie about taking the matter any further. He had worked for Franklin a lot longer than Natalie and knew the board of directors consisted mostly of insider directors. The CEO of Franklin was also the chair of Page 181the board. It was well known in the company that whatev.

business news relating to
India? http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/economy-suffers-as-firms-tackle-
debt/article19677814.ece
In India this year, there are a fair amount of firms and businesses that are having issues paying off
interest on their loans. On top of this, fewer loans are happening and the state’s GDP growth rate has
lowered this year. The article lists several factors, one of which is pretty simple; interest rates are high
at the moment. This article on business interested me because this is an issue that is relatable to every
modernized country on Earth, how to pay off debt when you aren’t making enough this year to cover
costs? You can’t, so the unpaid portions add up. I didn’t feel like there was a strong bias in this article,
but I’m also not accustomed to the Indian financial market or its businesses. How is this story relevant
to my understanding of India? It lets me take an inside look at the current economy and how they might
be fairing in comparison. It also shows that business and banking policies are not that different on some
levels.
4. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major political
news in India? http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/patronising-congress-
again-a-historic-necessity/article19679153.ece
First, why do I consider this major political news in India? The discussions and accusations being talked
about in the article are serious and can definitely effect votes for the mentioned political parties, which
in turn can change or add new laws, regulations, taxes, and etc. The title seemed incredibly familiar to
what we always see in American newspapers about our politics. I felt that the author, or maybe the
newspaper, might actually lean more towards the BJP and TDP’s opposing forces. Other than that, there
were tons of biased quotes from both parties. So, why do I think this topic is relevant to my
understanding of India? Simply put, just as with business and banking, there is this kind of familiarity in
a way. This article lets me get an inside view on the current parties and the accusations being made,
showing me that politics is a somewhat universal language, one part attack ads, one part confusion, and
one part progress.

1. Compare and contrast Strategic and Tactical Analysis and its .docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Compare and contrast Strategic and Tactical Analysis and its application to street crimes such as robbery and property crimes such as burglary. In your opinion is one more suited in addressing criminal behavior?
Strategic analysis involves the analysis over the long-term, whereas tactical analysis involves analysis in a more direct manner. Each has analysis scheme has their uses in addressing criminal behavior. To use an example with drug activity strategic analysis would be better suited to understanding who could be the future customers of drug dealers, where are possible locations that could facilitate such deals, and helping law-enforcement and community leaders come up with measures to combat drug sales. However, the tactical analysis would focus more on finding out where the current supply of drugs is coming in from, who the leader(s) is(are), and cracking down on local dealers. While there is overlap between the two, I believe that tactical analysis is the best when addressing criminal behavior, because of the more immediate results that it provides.
2. What is CPTED? Please elaborate on how CPTED may be an effective means to reduce a criminals Modus operandi? Provide an example.
CPTED is an acronym that stands for crime prevention through environmental design which is “The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life” (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). This means that CPTED is all of the passive defenses that the environment provides law-abiding citizens against criminally minded individuals. These defenses can be broken down into six different aspects that work together to create CPTED they are: territoriality, surveillance, access control, target hardening, image/maintenance, and active support (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). All of these aspects work together to decrease crime in the area.

1. Coalition Proposal
Vaccination Policy for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control
Scope of the Problem
Vaccines have done an excellent job at preventing many diseases, some of which can be deadly if not prevented. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, they immediately begin to attack and multiply, which then causes an infection. The immune system will then fight off the infection and establish antibodies, which will help recognize and fight off the same disease in the future. For this very reason, it has been important for children to be vaccinated at an early age so that they may establish those antibodies their bodies need. Vaccines act as the disease so that the body may produce antibodies, but the good thing is that it won’t cause an infection (CDC, 2017).
There are current policies that mandate vaccinations in the U.S., for example, all children are required to be up to date on their vaccines before beginning school. The problem is that there are many loopholes and exceptions to the rule, whether it’s due to religious reasons or other medical issues. Because of this, there are still many children and adults who have yet to be fully compliant with vaccine requirements
Some important statistics to note (Johns Hopkins Medicine):
· CDC estimated 2,700 new cases of hepatitis A in the U.S.
· It is estimated that in 2011, 19,000 new cases of hepatitis B and 17,000 cases of hepatitis C occurred.
· In 2012, nearly 10,000 new cases of tuberculosis were reported.
· Approximately 36,000 people per year die from influenza and pneumonia.
· 50,000 new cases of HIV infection occur annually.
· In 2012, new cases of STD’s were reported, including HPV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, and Syphilis.
Who is affected by this problem? Identify.
Children are mainly affected by this problem due to parents’ hesitancy for vaccinations. Although law mandates for children to be vaccinated for school enrollment, parents have the option to use exemptions to avoid having their children vaccinated. Currently, medical exemptions are allowed for medical reasons in all states, and it is estimated that one to three percent of children are excused from vaccinations because of these exemptions. Parents have continued to use reasons to avoid vaccinations, for example, the belief that the decline in vaccine-preventable diseases is due to improved health care, hygiene, and sanitation (Ventola, C. L., 2016).
Health disparities among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites have played a huge role in terms of vaccination coverage. Studies have shown that health insurance has a direct impact on the vaccination coverage in adults, therefore, low-income families who can’t afford health insurance will most likely not get the vaccines they need. With that being said, uninsured prevalence was higher among non-Hispanic blacks (19.5%) and Hispanics (30.1%) compared with non-Hispanic whites (11.1%) (Lu, P., et al, 2015).

1. Company Description and Backgrounda. Weight Watchers was cr.docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Company Description and Background
a. Weight Watchers was created by Jean Nindetch in 1963 when she began to invite her friends and neighbors so that they can discuss their weight loss issues and how they could lose weight successfully. The basic concept of WW plan consisted of two components: the WW program and group support. Comprised of a food plan and an activity plan. WW eliminated counting calories by introducing a point system.
b. Targeted women 25 to 55
c. 2017 about 1 million members who attended 32,000 WW meetings around the world organized by more then 9,000 leaders who had successful lost weight using WW.
d. Record high revenue 2011 $1.8 billion, in 2012 a slight reduction occurred but beat all pre-2011 numbers, in 2013 is when business began take a turn for the worse.
e. December 2015, WW launched a SmartPoints system which was a scale for food management. It was introduced to work along with a new weight management program called “Beyond the Scale.” Even thought doctors and nutrition’s approved the program, then-CEO David Kirchhoff felt it wasn’t enough because the programs didn’t take into account social, environmental and behavioral factors that led members to fail at their weight loss journey. Shortly after in August 2013, CEO Kirchhoff resigned in order to “pursue other opportunities” which left WW struggling to adjust their business strategy in the Internet Age.
2. Problems Posed In The Case
a. CEO Jim Chambers resigned in September 2016 afterward a tumultuous year with stock prices dropping 54% that year alone and seven straight quarters of declining sales.
b. Next generation diet programs and online apps like MyFitnessPal and FitBit were providing the same services for free of charge. CEO Chambers admitted that “consumers have changed and that WW hadn’t kept the pace.”
c. As obesity levels increased worldwide, the market for weight loss products was growing exponentially, however, WW had to increase customer value and seek new target segments to fend off competitors from traditional rivalry’s like Nutrisystem, Slim Fast, Medifast, Jenny Craig and the Biggest Loser.
d. Emergence of fad diets
e. Decreased effectiveness of marketing and advertising programs
f. The need for developing new and innovative products and services that could be delivered online or via mobile apps
g. WW International faced stock price volatility because of rival weight management options such as the over-the-counter weight-loss drug Alli launched by GlaxoSmithKline in June 2006 and the development of Allergan’s Lap-Band device.
h. Worldwide Health Organization estimated 2.3 billion people to be overweight by 2015 and more than 700 million obese.
i. The development of effective weight-management methods i.e. pharmaceuticals, surgical options such as the Lap-Band.
3. Financial Analysis
a. In 2017, revenue was 1.3 billion and in 2018 revenue was up by 5.77% at 1.5 billion.
4. Strategic Options

1. Come up with TWO movie ideas -- as in for TWO screenplays that .docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Come up with TWO movie ideas -- as in for TWO screenplays that you'd be interested in writing.
You will eventually choose ONE screenplay to live with for the duration of this course. You will distill each idea into a single sentence. We call this a LOGLINE.
A good logline: 1. Must include your PROTAGONIST. 2. Must be under 50 words. 3. Must contain the word "BUT" ("but" signifies conflict).
After you write the logline. Tell us about your PROTAGONIST. What is her/his most pressing DESIRE? What are some of the potential OBSTACLES that can get in the way?
TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE!
Here's an example:
MOVIE IDEA #1
WORKING TITLE: "COLLATERAL"
LOGLINE: A cab driver dreams of starting his own limo company, BUT when a hitman gets into his cab, our hero must figure out how to survive the night.
PROTAGONIST: Max (Cab Driver)
DESIRE: To stop Vincent (the Hitman)
POTENTIAL OBSTACLES: The HITMAN who never fails. THE COPS who think Max is the hitman. THE GANGSTERS who want the hitman dead. MAX’s own timid and hesitant nature.
2.What is the INCITING INCIDENT in your two film ideas? What is the 1stACT BREAK?
Example:
MOVIE TITLE: COLLATERAL
INCITING INCIDENT: Vincent gets into Max’s cab, makes Max an offer
1STACT BREAK: Body drops on Max’s cab; Reveal Vincent is a Hitman
(To discover your inciting incident possibly contemplate what the worst thing that could happen to your particular character would be)

Isabella Mia Interview as a Physical Therapist
Isabella Mia is a physical therapist who is working in the US as a therapist for the last 10 years. I have selected her for the interview because the physical therapist is a tough job and it is important to consider a person who has worked in it for a long time to get the right insights. She is a very dedicated person towards her work and this the reason behind her success in this field. I met her for this interview on a coffee shop and following is the information that I got from her.
Seyma Unal : Do you have a specific reason why you wanted to become a physical therapist?
Isabella Mia : I believe that this is a very rewarding career. I always wanted to do something that can ease other people and in this profession, we have contact with customers .
1. Choose a case for the paper that interests you. Most choose a .docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Choose a case for the paper that interests you. Most choose a case that they experienced on the job (e.g., company merger, reorganization, adoption of innovation or new procedure). If you have never experienced anything remotely like this, then you could choose a case in your community that interested you (e.g., political issues like taxes, land acquisition, school boards). If none of those apply then you can choose a case that is personal to you (e.g., getting a raise, selling something to a client or customer). If you have never worked, then choose a case you may experienced as an intern or student. I am pretty liberal about the kind of case that you choose.
2. Choose a case that involved a failed change attempt or proposes a change that has never been attempted. DO NOT CHOOSE A CASE THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL. The outline is hard to use when describing successful change attempts.
3. Write the paper as an expanded outline. That means writing paragraphs under the lower level headings. By using the outline as headings, you won’t leave something out.
4. With regard to length, some overwrite Section I. I think they get into describing the problem and go on a tirade. Although cathartic, it eats space. Section II should be relatively brief and the shortest of the three sections. Section III is where you should be writing a lot. That is where you are showing me that you can use the course content to propose an effective change.
5. Remember that you will be sending the paper to me as an attachment. I will grade it and make comments in the file. I will return it to you at the SAME address from which I received it. IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE TO SEE THE PAPER, USE YOUR STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS. DO NOT USE YOUR WORK ADDRESS.
6. I will erase all papers at the end of the term. I never share papers with others.
Below I will give you some insights into the outline.
SUGGESTED OUTLINE FOR CHANGE MANAGEMENT PAPERS
I. Statement of problem area. In this section, describe the change attempt and the key players.
A. Background of change attempt.
1. Nature of change (What is being proposed?).
In this section, provide an overview of the change including a brief history.
2. Issues (Why is it being proposed?).
If you are writing about a failed change, indicate why it was proposed and how it failed. If you are writing about a proposed change, then describe the problem it is intended to resolve.
3. Change Agent(s). This section is focused on the people who proposed or will propose the change. If there are only a few change agents, you can describe what each on is like. If you are there many, then describe their general characteristics.
4.
A. Personality. What are they like? If you want, you can refer to the personalities I mention in the handout on integrative bargaining.
B. Power. What kind of power do the change agents have and how much? Is their power formal (e.g., authority) and/or or informal (e.g., expertise, chari.

As Revised July 2007
“By order of the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia,
former Section 11(c) of the NSPE Code of Ethics prohibiting
competitive
bidding, and all policy statements, opinions, rulings or other
guidelines
interpreting its scope, have been rescinded as unlawfully
interfering with the
legal right of engineers, protected under the antitrust laws, to
provide price
information to prospective clients; accordingly, nothing
contained in the NSPE
Code of Ethics, policy statements, opinions, rulings or other
guidelines prohibits
the submission of price quotations or competitive bids for
engineering services
at any time or in any amount.”
Statement by NSPE Executive Committee
In order to correct misunderstandings which have been indicated
in some
10. instances since the issuance of the Supreme Court decision and
the entry of the
Final Judgment, it is noted that in its decision of April 25,
1978, the Supreme
Court of the United States declared: “The Sherman Act does not
require
competitive bidding.”
It is further noted that as made clear in the Supreme Court
decision:
1. Engineers and firms may individually refuse to bid for
engineering services.
2. Clients are not required to seek bids for engineering services.
3. Federal, state, and local laws governing procedures to
procure engineering
services are not affected, and remain in full force and effect.
4. State societies and local chapters are free to actively and
aggressively seek
legislation for professional selection and negotiation procedures
by public
agencies.
5. State registration board rules of professional conduct,
including rules
prohibiting competitive bidding for engineering services, are
not affected and
remain in full force and effect. State registration boards with
authority to
adopt rules of professional conduct may adopt rules governing
procedures to
obtain engineering services.
6. As noted by the Supreme Court, “nothing in the judgment
prevents NSPE and
its members from attempting to influence governmental action .
11. . .”
3. Engineers shall avoid all conduct or practice that deceives the
public.
a. Engineers shall avoid the use of statements containing a
material
misrepresentation of fact or omitting a material fact.
b. Consistent with the foregoing, engineers may advertise for
recruitment of personnel.
c. Consistent with the foregoing, engineers may prepare articles
for
the lay or technical press, but such articles shall not imply
credit to
the author for work performed by others.
4. Engineers shall not disclose, without consent, confidential
information
concerning the business affairs or technical processes of any
present or
former client or employer, or public body on which they serve.
a. Engineers shall not, without the consent of all interested
parties,
promote or arrange for new employment or practice in
connection
with a specific project for which the engineer has gained
particular
and specialized knowledge.
b. Engineers shall not, without the consent of all interested
parties,
12. participate in or represent an adversary interest in connection
with a
specific project or proceeding in which the engineer has gained
particular specialized knowledge on behalf of a former client or
employer.
5. Engineers shall not be influenced in their professional duties
by
conflicting interests.
a. Engineers shall not accept financial or other considerations,
including free engineering designs, from material or equipment
suppliers for specifying their product.
b. Engineers shall not accept commissions or allowances,
directly or
indirectly, from contractors or other parties dealing with clients
or
employers of the engineer in connection with work for which
the
engineer is responsible.
6. Engineers shall not attempt to obtain employment or
advancement or
professional engagements by untruthfully criticizing other
engineers,
or by other improper or questionable methods.
a. Engineers shall not request, propose, or accept a commission
on a
contingent basis under circumstances in which their judgment
may
be compromised.
b. Engineers in salaried positions shall accept part-time
engineering
13. work only to the extent consistent with policies of the employer
and
in accordance with ethical considerations.
c. Engineers shall not, without consent, use equipment,
supplies,
laboratory, or office facilities of an employer to carry on
outside
private practice.
7. Engineers shall not attempt to injure, maliciously or falsely,
directly
or indirectly, the professional reputation, prospects, practice, or
employment of other engineers. Engineers who believe others
are
guilty of unethical or illegal practice shall present such
information
to the proper authority for action.
a. Engineers in private practice shall not review the work of
another
engineer for the same client, except with the knowledge of such
engineer, or unless the connection of such engineer with the
work
has been terminated.
b. Engineers in governmental, industrial, or educational employ
are
entitled to review and evaluate the work of other engineers
when so
required by their employment duties.
c. Engineers in sales or industrial employ are entitled to make
engineering comparisons of represented products with products
of
other suppliers.
14. 8. Engineers shall accept personal responsibility for their
professional
activities, provided, however, that engineers may seek
indemnification
for services arising out of their practice for other than gross
negligence, where the engineer’s interests cannot otherwise be
protected.
a. Engineers shall conform with state registration laws in the
practice
of engineering.
b. Engineers shall not use association with a nonengineer, a
corporation, or partnership as a “cloak” for unethical acts.
Note: In regard to the question of application of the Code to
corporations vis-a-vis real persons, business form or type
should not negate nor
influence conformance of individuals to the Code. The Code
deals with professional services, which services must be
performed by real
persons. Real persons in turn establish and implement policies
within business structures. The Code is clearly written to apply
to the Engineer,
and it is incumbent on members of NSPE to endeavor to live up
to its provisions. This applies to all pertinent sections of the
Code.
