Ethics in estimates

Texian · 2017-03-05T19:09:00Z

A scenario I am encountering for the first time as a relatively new small business owner. Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated.A week or so ago I was approached to prepare an estimate/proposal on a project for a client. A few days later a different client requested a proposal for the same project. I have a relationship with both clients and have performed work for each in the past and hope to continue to do so in the future. First proposal has not been accepted and no signed work authorization is currently in place.Do I..1. Submit proposal to second client without letting either know that I have been contacted by the other party?2. Submit proposal to second client and inform both parties that I have been approached by the other?I know which way I am leaning, but there is a wealth of information and experience here on this forum and would be interested in others thoughts.

Texian didn't say this was a construction project although it is likely. It could also be two different buyers hoping to purchase the same property. I would be keeping my mouth shut about any other inquiries.
