Decision Question
Should Engineer A disclose the known incompleteness of the drawings to the client and federal agency before submission, or proceed to sign, seal, and submit the incomplete documents on schedule while relying on federal funds to absorb any resulting cost overruns?
Focus
Engineer A Dam Design Engineer: Disclosure and Sealing Obligation When Facing Schedule Pressure on Incomplete Dam Design Documents
Option1
Formally notify the local public agency and the federal funding authority in writing of the known incompleteness, decline to sign and seal the drawings until they conform to applicable standards, and request a schedule extension or scope relief — accepting the risk to the funding timeline as the ethically required consequence.
Option2
Provide written notice to the client and federal agency of the known gaps before submission, then proceed to sign and seal the drawings on schedule with the client's informed authorization, treating written disclosure as sufficient to satisfy professional obligations while preserving the funding timeline.
Option3
Sign, seal, and submit the incomplete drawings on the contractual deadline without prior disclosure, relying on the established federal funding commitment to absorb any cost overruns that result from the design gaps, and address incompleteness through the change-order process post-award.
