Decision question
Should Engineer A propose cost-reduced intermediate safety alternatives to the client before treating withdrawal as the only remaining ethical option?
Focus
Before reaching the binary choice of insisting on the full-time representative or withdrawing entirely, Engineer A must decide whether to first propose graduated intermediate alternatives—such as a part-time representative, periodic scheduled inspections, or enhanced contractor safety protocols—that might address the construction-phase safety risk while accommodating the client's cost constraints.
Option1
Present the client with a structured set of cost-reduced alternatives—such as a part-time on-site representative, scheduled periodic inspections, or enhanced contractor safety oversight protocols—that meaningfully reduce construction-phase risk while addressing the client's cost objection.
Option2
Decline to offer reduced alternatives on the grounds that the professional safety determination identified a full-time representative as necessary, and that proposing lesser measures would compromise the integrity of that determination and potentially expose the public to foreseeable harm.
Option3
Treat the client's cost-based refusal as a final impasse and withdraw from the project immediately, without exploring whether intermediate measures could adequately address the identified safety risk.
