Decision question
Was Engineer B obligated to refrain from sealing the completed roadway design documents and to proactively disclose design deficiencies to County A at the earliest moment those deficiencies became apparent during construction, rather than waiting for a County-convened meeting to acknowledge the firm's competence limitations?
Focus
Engineer B's decision to complete the rural roadway design, affix a professional seal to the design documents, and proceed without disclosing design deficiencies to County A — followed by a delayed admission of incompetence only after construction problems emerged and County A convened a formal meeting.
Option1
Refrain from sealing the design documents, proactively disclose competence limitations and design deficiencies to County A at the earliest opportunity, and recommend engagement of qualified highway engineering expertise to remediate the design before construction proceeds
Option2
Affix the professional seal to the completed design documents, allow construction to proceed without disclosing known competence limitations, and admit design deficiencies only after County A convenes a formal construction meeting
Role
Engineer B
