Case context
Client B has directed Engineer A to forgo the specialized analysis on cost grounds; Engineer A must ensure Client B understands the full consequences of that decision, including risks to Client B itself, before accepting the directive.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to communicate to Client B not only the public welfare rationale for the specialized hydrologic and hydraulic analysis but also the specific professional, legal, and reputational risks to Client B of declining to authorize the analysis — including potential liability to upstream homeowners and regulatory exposure — so that Client B can make a fully informed decision about whether to authorize the work.
Temporal scope
Upon Client B's directive to forgo the specialized analysis and before proceeding without it
Relationships

Client B directs Engineer A to proceed without the costly analysis unless and until such an analysis is requested by the applicable regulatory authorities.
Engineer A proposes a complex and costly hydrologic and hydraulic analysis by a specialized subconsultant to predict the extent to which sea level rise and the increased hydraulic capacity of the tidal crossing will result in flood damage to a neighborhood of twenty upstream homes
