Decision Question
When Engineer A's preliminary professional judgment — grounded in recognized hydraulic evaluation procedures — indicates foreseeable upstream flood harm, but Client B has refused to fund the specialized subconsultant analysis needed for full quantification, what form of disclosure obligation does Engineer A bear, and at what threshold of certainty is it triggered?
Focus
Engineer A's obligation to independently assess and disclose the upstream flood risk based on preliminary professional judgment, even without a completed specialized subconsultant analysis, when Client B has refused to fund that analysis
Option1
Include the upstream flood risk concern in the engineering report as an explicitly qualified preliminary professional judgment, identifying the analytical gap and recommending specialized subconsultant analysis, regardless of Client B's refusal to fund that analysis
Option2
Withhold the upstream flood risk concern from the engineering report on the grounds that the preliminary judgment lacks the quantitative hydraulic confirmation required to meet the professional standard of care for a disclosed engineering finding, and document internally that specialized analysis was recommended but refused
Option3
Include in the engineering report only a general notation that climate-adjusted hydraulic conditions were considered beyond the scope of the current engagement, without disclosing the specific preliminary judgment about upstream uninhabitability, pending Client B's reconsideration of the subconsultant analysis budget
Role Label
