Decision Question
Is Engineer A obligated to explore and present hybrid or phased design alternatives in the board report, or does the organization's capital constraint legitimately bound the scope of Engineer A's advisory to the two options the organization has already identified?
Focus
Engineer A must decide whether to present only the binary solar-versus-generator-rebuild choice or to affirmatively identify and present hybrid or phased design alternatives — such as partial battery storage or staged solar-plus-storage — even when the organization's stated capital constraints appear to foreclose full storage deployment.
Option1
Identify and present at least one technically feasible hybrid or phased alternative — such as critical-load battery storage or a staged solar-plus-storage rollout — with indicative costs and reliability tradeoffs, so the board can evaluate options beyond the binary solar-versus-rebuild framing
Option2
Present the solar-without-storage and generator-rebuild options as the two viable choices within the established capital envelope, note that hybrid configurations exist but require additional capital beyond current availability, and recommend that the board commission a separate feasibility study on phased storage if it wishes to explore that pathway
Option3
Limit the board report to the two options within the contracted scope of the solar replacement study, on the grounds that presenting hybrid alternatives outside the assignment scope without adequate cost data would introduce speculative information that could mislead the board rather than inform it
