Applied to
Design phase of public water treatment facility for Municipality
Balancing with
Equal Competitive Access in Design-Phase Consultation

high
Interpretation
Engineer A's belief that the project would benefit from constructability input is not merely a personal preference but reflects a professional obligation to produce a constructible, cost-effective design for the public client — the ethical challenge is to fulfill this obligation through appropriate formal mechanisms
Invoked by
Engineer A Water Treatment Facility Design Engineer Present Case
Tension resolution
The obligation to obtain constructability expertise is fulfilled through a public constructability meeting open to all prospective bidders, which simultaneously serves design quality and preserves procurement fairness
