A person should have known the thing to be done or omitted if the person has knowledge of facts or circumstances that would place the person on reasonably diligent inquiry. A person acts knowingly if the person has the means to be informed but elects not to do so. For purposes of the rule, the contractor, subcontractor and public agency are presumed to know the circumstances of the public works project.
