Definition
A private development client role that retains a consulting engineer for coastal risk assessment and design standard recommendations, bears authority over project scope and construction cost decisions, and refuses to adopt the engineer's recommended protective design standard (e.g., 100-year storm surge elevation) on grounds of increased cost, thereby generating a conflict between client cost-minimization authority and the engineer's paramount obligation to protect public safety in the absence of applicable building codes.
