Decision question
Should Principal Engineer R immediately acknowledge the stormwater design error and proactively communicate the multi-causal nature of the flooding harm to City C and affected parties, or should R first independently verify Firm IBM's analysis before making any acknowledgment — and in either case, how must R handle the third-party contributing factors identified by IBM?
Focus
Principal Engineer R: Error Acknowledgment, Independent Verification, and Multi-Causal Disclosure After Stormwater Design Non-Compliance Is Confirmed
Option1
Independently re-review Firm IBM's analysis to verify whether a design error exists, while simultaneously notifying City C of the potential deficiency and ensuring affected property owners receive timely information — then formally acknowledge the confirmed error and communicate the full multi-causal account of the flooding to all affected parties
Option2
Defer all communication and acknowledgment until internal verification of IBM's analysis is fully complete, without interim notification to City C or affected property owners
Option3
Immediately and unconditionally accept IBM's findings as correct, acknowledge sole design responsibility for the flooding, and initiate remediation without independently verifying IBM's methodology or communicating the third-party contributing factors to City C and affected parties
