Decision question
Should Engineer A recommend a project delivery method based solely on the city's needs, or may Engineer A favor a method that benefits Engineer A's own practice?
Focus
Within the advisory memo, Engineer A must decide whether to recommend a particular project delivery method in a manner that is objectively justified or to steer the recommendation toward the method in which Engineer A has a competitive advantage. The causal record shows that a biased method recommendation directly triggered the subsequent self-promotional credential inclusion, compounding the ethical harm and creating a conflict of interest that was never disclosed to the city.
Option1
Engineer A bases the method recommendation exclusively on an objective analysis of the city's technical requirements, budget constraints, and timeline, and discloses in writing any personal or financial interest Engineer A may have in the recommended approach.
Option2
Engineer A recommends the delivery method that aligns with Engineer A's own expertise and business development interests without disclosing the conflict, presenting the recommendation as if it were a neutral, client-centered conclusion.
Option3
Engineer A discloses to the city administrator that a conflict of interest prevents Engineer A from making an objective method recommendation and abstains from that portion of the analysis, suggesting the city seek independent guidance on method selection.
