Source Evidence
Source text
it is the Board's view that there are serious ethical constraints that would preclude the selection of Engineer A by the town to perform the road design work
Text references
Engineer A is an officer or principal of his engineering firm, and thus according to NSPE Code of Ethics, section II.4.e, is not eligible to provide engineering services to Smithtown for the local road project
The Board does not believe that the disclosure of any further circumstances (e.g., private work in town for a developer, reviewing its own work) would be sufficient to avoid a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest
This conclusion is based upon the language in Section II.4.e and is irrespective of whether the town's procurement laws are scrupulously followed
