Instance of
FaithfulAgentObligationWithinEthicalLimits
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#FaithfulAgentObligationWithinEthicalLimits
Applied to
Route evaluation and recommendation to state client
State contract to specify route for road connecting two towns
Balancing with
Eminent Domain Advisory Obligation and Limits
Historic and Cultural Resource Impact Consideration in Infrastructure Engineering
Public Welfare Paramount
Concrete expression
Engineer A, retained by JKL Engineering under a state contract to specify the road route, must diligently serve the state's legitimate objective of connecting the two towns while independently evaluating all route alternatives and their impacts, and must not suppress material information about property impacts or recommend ethically impermissible approaches to property acquisition
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
Engineer A's faithful agent obligation requires diligent execution of the route evaluation assignment for the state, including proactive investigation of property impacts (as demonstrated by the farmhouse visit), while retaining independent professional judgment about how to present findings and what alternatives to recommend
Invoked by
Engineer A Route Selection Design Engineer
JKL Engineering Employer
Tension resolution
The faithful agent obligation is satisfied by diligent, complete route evaluation and honest presentation of all alternatives and their impacts — it does not require Engineer A to advocate for the shortest route or to recommend eminent domain as the preferred solution
