Decision Question
Upon discovering that Transportation Engineer B is neither a licensed engineer nor a degreed engineer, should Engineer A refuse to revise signed and sealed contract documents based on Transportation Engineer B's directions, and does Transportation Engineer B's review and direction of changes constitute unlicensed engineering practice that Engineer A must not aid or abet?
Focus
Engineer A's obligation to refuse compliance with Transportation Engineer B's directions to revise signed and sealed contract documents, given that Transportation Engineer B is neither licensed nor degreed in engineering, and the ethical status of Transportation Engineer B's review activities as unlicensed engineering practice.
Option1
Immediately cease submitting sealed documents to Transportation Engineer B for review and refuse to implement any further revision directions from Transportation Engineer B upon discovery of the unlicensed status, while simultaneously escalating to higher State Agency authority to request that a licensed engineer be designated as the reviewer
Option2
Continue submitting sealed documents to the State Agency for review while independently evaluating each of Transportation Engineer B's directed revisions on their technical merits, accepting only those revisions that Engineer A independently judges to be correct and rejecting those that are not, thereby preserving engineering judgment over the sealed documents without disrupting the contractual workflow
Option3
Suspend submission of sealed documents to Transportation Engineer B specifically while continuing to fulfill other contractual obligations to the State Agency, and request in writing that the agency designate a licensed professional engineer as the reviewing authority before further sealed documents are submitted, treating the suspension as a contractual notice of changed circumstances rather than a unilateral refusal
