Source Evidence
Source text
There is no requirement in either the Canons or Rules that an engineer's plans for a client must be reviewed by an engineer employed or retained by the client.
Text references
Canon 15 is not a bar to this type of arrangement because there is only one interested party (client) and that party has given its consent.
Canon 27 is not an impediment because it refers to a 'salaried' position.
Rule 13 is binding in this case and the engineer has a duty because of his dual capacity to avoid prejudicing his advice to the city.
Rule 17 deals only with situations in which the engineer is employed by more than one party.
There is no requirement in either the Canons or Rules that an engineer's plans for a client must be reviewed by an engineer employed or retained by the client.
