Decision Question
After Client A explicitly refuses to fund construction to the 100-year storm surge elevation, what sequence of professional actions must Engineer A take to satisfy the public welfare paramount obligation while respecting the proportional escalation framework?
Focus
Engineer A's obligations after Client A refuses the 100-year storm surge elevation standard on cost grounds — specifically whether Engineer A must continue advocating, document the disagreement in writing, and ultimately withdraw from the project if Client A's refusal is firm.
Option1
Continue pursuing substantive discussions with Client A to explain the foreseeable danger to future residents, provide written documentation of the 100-year recommendation and Client A's refusal, and withdraw from the project if Client A's refusal remains explicit and firm after good-faith persuasion efforts are exhausted
Option2
Withdraw from the project immediately upon Client A's first explicit refusal of the 100-year standard, without further persuasion attempts, on the grounds that any continued engagement after an unambiguous cost-driven rejection of a safety-critical standard constitutes tacit acquiescence
Option3
Remain engaged on the project while continuing to advocate internally for the 100-year standard, on the grounds that Engineer A's continued presence preserves residual influence over design decisions and that a replacement engineer with fewer safety commitments would produce worse outcomes for future residents
