SITUATION: Iwanna Bea Engineer, P.E., is the part-time town engineer for Smithtown and also has a consulting engineering practice. With Engineer’s advice and concurrence, Smithtown selects Sue Purvizen, P.E., to provide design services for a local road project. Following the selection and after Purvizen begins to perform preliminary design services, Engineer, in his role as town engineer, reviews Purvizen’s preliminary work and becomes convinced that Purvizen’s performance on the contract does not meet the standards as outlined in Purvizen’s contract with the town. Following Purvizen’s termination under the terms and conditions of her contract with the town, Engineering offers, and Smithtown agrees, that Engineer’s firms should perform the design work for the local road project for Smithtown.

QUESTIONS: Was it ethical for Engineer to contact Smithtown and advise the town that Purvizen’s performance on the contract did not meet the standards as outlined in Purvizen’s contract with the town? Was it ethical for Engineer to offer and agree to perform the road design work for Smithtown?
