Decision Question
Should Firm A accept private developer clients within the same jurisdiction where it serves as city-retained inspection engineer, or decline such engagements to preserve its undivided loyalty to the city?
Focus
Engineer (Firm A): City-Retained Engineer Dual-Role Acceptance Decision — Whether to Accept or Decline Private Developer Engagements While Serving as City Engineer
Option1
Firm A refuses to accept any private developer clients within the jurisdiction where it holds the city inspection contract, maintaining undivided loyalty to the city as its sole principal and eliminating the structural conflict at its source.
Option2
Firm A accepts private developer engagements but implements a strict recusal protocol under which it does not perform city inspection of any project for which it also serves as the developer's private engineer, relying on the abstention model from BER 75-7 and disclosing each dual engagement to the city for formal consent.
Option3
Firm A accepts private developer engagements on the grounds that the small municipality lacks practical alternatives for competent engineering coverage, treating the dual role as permissible incidental overlap under BER 74-2 and disclosing the arrangement to the city without implementing a formal recusal mechanism.
