Decision question
Should Engineers A and B formally advise the MWC that the project as currently configured is likely to fail and to produce the lead leaching harm identified in their evaluation, even after the commission has overridden their recommendation?
Focus
As the project proceeds despite the engineers' objections, Engineers A and B must decide whether to formally advise the Metropolitan Water Commission that the project, as currently configured without the required corrosion control improvements, is likely to fail and to cause the public health harm they identified. This advisement serves both to fulfill the duty of truthful professional opinion and to ensure the commission cannot later claim ignorance of the consequences, while also maintaining the engineers' integrity as faithful agents acting within the bounds of public safety.
Option1
Provide the MWC with a formal written advisement that the project as currently configured, without the required corrosion control improvements, is likely to fail and to produce the lead leaching risk identified in the evaluation report, creating a documented record that the commission was warned of the consequences.
Option2
Treat the commission's override as closing the advisory relationship on this issue and provide no further formal opinion on project outcomes, on the grounds that the engineers have already discharged their notification duty through the joint recommendation.
Option3
Terminate all further professional engagement with the MWC on this project, neither issuing a failure advisement nor continuing regulatory pursuit, in order to avoid prolonged conflict with a client that has explicitly rejected the engineers' professional judgment.
