Definition

Engineer A is a licensed traffic engineer employed by the State DOT who reviews private firm contracts and traffic signal plans submitted by developers and municipalities for state highway work. He is simultaneously solicited by his former consulting firm to perform part-time airport design consulting for municipalities — the same municipalities that interact with his DOT employer — creating a significant conflict of interest.
