Decision Question
Should Firm A treat proactive disclosure of each dual engagement to the city and formal city consent as sufficient to cure the structural conflict of interest, or must Firm A achieve complete role separation by declining developer engagements regardless of disclosure?
Focus
Engineer (Firm A): City-Retained Engineer Developer Client Conflict Proactive Disclosure Decision — Whether Disclosure and Consent Can Cure the Structural Conflict or Whether Role Separation Is Required
Option1
Firm A treats the structural conflict as non-curable by any disclosure or consent mechanism and declines all private developer engagements within the jurisdiction, recognizing that the divided loyalty inheres in the simultaneous role acceptance and cannot be dissolved by agreement or procedural safeguard.
Option2
Firm A proactively discloses to the city every instance in which a prospective private developer client is also subject to Firm A's city inspection authority and obtains formal written city consent before accepting each such engagement, treating disclosure-plus-consent as sufficient to satisfy its professional obligations under the model applicable to contingent conflicts.
Option3
Firm A discloses each dual engagement to the city, obtains city consent, and arranges for a qualified independent inspector to perform city inspection on any project for which Firm A also serves as the developer's private engineer, applying the BER 75-7 abstention model by ensuring a substitute decision-maker handles all conflicted inspection assignments.
