Case context
BER Case 16-7 established that upon discovering inaccurate data underlying a prior report, an engineer has an affirmative obligation to advise the client about the inaccurate data and the new conclusions. Principal Engineer R faced an analogous situation when IBM's analysis and actual flooding confirmed errors in the stormwater design.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Obligated party
Principal Engineer R
Obligation statement
Principal Engineer R was obligated to promptly advise the client (Developer G and/or City C) about the inaccurate stormwater calculations and the corrected conclusions once R confirmed the error, consistent with the affirmative obligation established in BER Case 16-7 to step forward and advise clients when data upon which a report was based is found to be inaccurate.
Temporal scope
Upon confirmation that the stormwater design contained errors producing runoff exceedance

Proactive Risk Disclosure Invoked By Principal Engineer R Post-Err or Discovery
Source Evidence
Source text
once Engineer A discovered that the data upon which the report was based was inaccurate, there is an affirmative obligation to step forward and advise their client about the inaccurate data and the new conclusions.
Text references
Principal Engineer R should consider obligation III.1a and acknowledge the runoff problem – actual flooding experience and IBM's modeling show the subdivision created an issue.
