http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#SpecializedSubconsultantEngagementRecommendationObligation
Case context
Engineer A has proposed a specialized subconsultant to conduct complex hydrologic and hydraulic analysis predicting flood damage to twenty upstream homes, but Client B has directed Engineer A to proceed without the analysis unless regulators request it.
Compliance status
partial
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to formally recommend in writing to Client B the engagement of a specialized hydrologic and hydraulic subconsultant to conduct the complex analysis needed to predict flood damage to upstream homes, and to document that recommendation so that Client B cannot later claim ignorance of the technical gap.
Temporal scope
Before proceeding with design and permitting without the specialized analysis
Relationships
defeasibleUnder
Resource Constraint - Specialized Subconsultant Analysis
Source Evidence
Source text
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 during future high tides and storm surges
Text references
Client B directs Engineer A to proceed without the costly analysis unless and until such an analysis is requested by the applicable regulatory authorities.
