Decision Question
Should Engineer A accept simultaneous roles as city-retained engineer and private consultant to developers whose work Firm A inspects on the city's behalf, or decline private developer engagements within the same jurisdiction?
Focus
Engineer A (Firm A): Dual-Role Acceptance — City Engineer and Private Developer Inspector
Option1
Refuse to accept any private consulting work from developers whose projects are subject to Firm A's city inspection authority, maintaining exclusive loyalty to the city as principal client and eliminating the structural divided loyalty at its source.
Option2
Accept private developer engagements but implement a strict recusal protocol under which Firm A does not inspect any project for which it also serves as the developer's private engineer, relying on the BER 75-7 abstention model to manage discrete conflicts as they arise.
Option3
Accept both roles on the ground that the municipality lacks practical alternative engineering resources, treating the arrangement as permissible under BER 74-2's small-municipality public interest exception, with disclosure to the city of each concurrent developer engagement.
