Applied to
City B wastewater project delivery method recommendation
Balancing with
Loyalty
Professional Competence
Concrete expression
Engineer A recommended Progressive Design Build, the delivery method under which Engineer A is qualified to provide construction services, without disclosing to the non-engineer City Administrator that Engineer A had a direct competitive interest in that recommendation.
Confidence
0.9
Interpretation
The principle required Engineer A to disclose, before or alongside the recommendation, that Engineer A was qualified and presumably interested in providing construction services under the recommended delivery method, so that City B could weigh the recommendation accordingly.
Tension resolution
The conflict of interest disclosure obligation was not satisfied. Engineer A provided firm experience and references alongside the recommendation, which functioned as a solicitation rather than a neutral advisory disclosure.
