Case context
The Board approved WXY Engineering serving as city engineer while holding three active contracts with City H, but explicitly conditioned this approval on WXY performing general consulting services that do not include reviewing the work of Engineer A's firm. The Board noted WXY does not perform private work within City H, reinforcing the permissibility of the arrangement.

Obligation statement
Engineer A and WXY Engineering are obligated, as a condition of the ethically permissible dual-role arrangement, to refrain from performing in the city engineer advisory capacity any review, evaluation, or approval of work that WXY Engineering performed in its design contractor capacity for City H, ensuring that the structural self-oversight conflict identified by the City H official does not materialize in practice.
Temporal scope
Throughout the duration of the dual-role city engineer appointment, applicable to each instance of advisory review activity
Source Evidence
Source text
the Board is of the view that it would be ethical for Engineer A and his firm WXY to serve as city engineer for City H, perform general consulting services where these services do not include reviewing the work of Engineer A's firm

Text references
This view is reinforced by the fact that WXY does not perform any private work within City H and would not be reviewing the work it performed for private clients
WXY will need to disclose further circumstances (e.g., private work in city, reviewing its own work, etc.) that might create a potential for a conflict of interest
