Decision question
Did the engineers employed by Firm Z bear ethical responsibility for knowingly entering into contracts awarded outside the required RFQ process, and were they obligated to flag the procurement irregularity or decline the engagements until proper procedures were followed?
Focus
Firm Z Engineers' Ethical Responsibility for Entering Non-Compliant Contract Awards
Option1
Inquire whether the required RFQ process and City Council authorization had been obtained before accepting the engagements, and flag the absence of a competitive solicitation as a recognizable anomaly given prior compliant contract history
Option2
Accept the contract engagements without inquiring into the City's procurement procedures, treating compliance with contracting law as solely the client agency's responsibility
Role
