Decision Question
Should Engineer A proactively disclose WXY's three active contracts to City H officials immediately upon learning of the city engineer vacancy, before any appointment discussion begins, or is it sufficient to disclose when a conflict concern is independently raised by a city official?
Focus
Engineer A Proactive Conflict Disclosure Timing Decision: Whether Engineer A was obligated to proactively disclose WXY's three existing contracts to City H officials at the earliest moment the city engineer vacancy arose, before any appointment discussion began, or whether disclosure triggered by a city official's independent concern satisfies the duty under NSPE Code II.4.a.
Option1
Proactively disclose all three active design contracts to City H officials at the earliest moment Engineer A becomes aware of the city engineer vacancy and before any formal or informal appointment discussion begins, treating the disclosure obligation as triggered by the existence of the known conflict rather than by the client's independent discovery of it, and documenting the disclosure in writing to give it verifiable force.
Option2
Respond with complete and transparent disclosure of all three active contracts and all prospective conflict implications when a city official independently raises the conflict-of-interest concern during the appointment discussion, treating the official's inquiry as the triggering event for the disclosure obligation and providing a comprehensive account of the structural conflict at that point.
Option3
Proactively disclose not only the three existing active contracts but also the full structural pattern of prospective conflicts that will arise as new design contracts are identified and potentially awarded to WXY during the city engineer tenure, providing City H with the complete conflict picture at the appointment decision point and proposing a formal ongoing disclosure protocol for future contract cycles.
