Jerald Washington serves on the City Planning Commission. The city is planning to build a new light rail system and is accepting bids on the proposal. Jerald's sister-in-law, Serena, who owns the Worldwide Transportation Co., has submitted the lowest bid for the system. The Custom Transportation Co. has submitted a slightly higher bid for the job. Jerald knows that Serena could complete the job for the estimated amount, but he also knows that if Serena gets and completes this project, she will have enough money to sell her company and quit working. Jerald is concerned that Worldwide Transportation's subsequent management might not be as easy to work with if revisions need to be made on the light rail system after its completion. He is torn as to whether he should tell the city about the potential changes in Worldwide Transportation's management. If the city knew about the instability of Worldwide Transportation, it might prefer to give the contract to Custom Transportation, whose bid was higher than Worldwide Transportation's bid by only a small amount.
