Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to formally recommend to Client B the engagement of a specialized subconsultant to perform the complex hydrologic and hydraulic analysis needed to quantify the upstream flood risk from sea level rise and increased tidal crossing hydraulic capacity, and to document that recommendation in writing.
Temporal scope
Upon identifying the need for specialized hydraulic analysis, before proceeding with design

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, anticipating this to be a difficult question to answer in the project's public hearings.
