Decision question
Should Engineer A accept the part-time role soliciting municipal airport consulting contracts for his former firm while remaining a State DOT employee, or decline the engagement on the basis of structural conflict of interest?
Focus
Engineer A State DOT Traffic Engineer: Whether to Accept Part-Time Moonlighting Role with Former Firm Soliciting Municipal Airport Contracts
Option1
Decline the former firm's solicitation on the basis that the shared municipal stakeholder relationship between the State DOT's grant administration function and the municipalities to be solicited creates a structural conflict of interest that cannot be cured by disclosure or recusal while concurrent DOT employment continues.
Option2
Accept the part-time role after disclosing the dual employment to both the State DOT and the former firm, and commit to recusing from every DOT traffic signal review or grant activity involving municipalities simultaneously solicited for airport consulting work, treating procedural safeguards as sufficient to manage the conflict.
Option3
Accept the part-time role on the grounds that airport design and highway traffic engineering are technically distinct disciplines, that Engineer A has no formal authority to select or approve airport consultants, and that the absence of an explicit State DOT outside-employment prohibition renders the engagement permissible under the standard moonlighting framework.
