Decision Question
Upon discovering that Transportation Engineer B is neither licensed nor degreed, what action must Engineer A take with respect to continued submission of sealed design documents for B's review and the obligation to report the unlicensed practice?
Focus
Engineer A's obligation upon discovering Transportation Engineer B's unlicensed status: whether to cease compliance with B's directions to revise sealed documents, report the unlicensed practice, or continue compliance while pursuing informal resolution through the State Agency hierarchy
Option1
Immediately suspend submission of sealed design documents to Transportation Engineer B, refuse to implement any further revision directions from B, and concurrently file a formal report of unlicensed practice with the state licensing board while notifying the State Agency of the basis for suspension
Option2
Immediately suspend sealed document submissions to Transportation Engineer B and raise the unlicensed status concern informally with the State Agency's supervising manager, allowing a brief and defined window of days — not weeks — for the agency to designate a licensed engineer as reviewer before filing a formal report with the licensing board if the agency fails to act
Option3
Continue submitting sealed design documents to Transportation Engineer B while independently verifying B's licensure status through public licensing board records and consulting with legal counsel about contractual obligations before taking any formal action, on the basis that unilateral refusal prior to verification and legal review could itself breach the State Agency contract and harm the public through project delay
