Decision question
Should Engineer C issue a verbal pre-selection promise to Engineer A's firm for a future City X project, or refrain from any pre-commitment and ensure selection proceeds through a formal competitive qualification-based process?
Focus
Engineer C, as chief city engineer of City X with procurement authority, faces the decision of whether to verbally promise Engineer A's firm future contract selection as recognition for Engineer A's speculative grant work, or to channel any recognition through proper procurement processes.
Option1
Verbally promise Engineer A's firm selection on the future City X project as recognition for the speculative grant contribution, treating the informal commitment as a reasonable reward outside formal procurement channels.
Option2
Publicly acknowledge Engineer A's contribution through commendation or public recognition, then ensure Engineer A's firm is invited to participate in a properly announced, open qualification-based selection process for the future project — without any pre-commitment to the outcome.
Option3
Make no promise or acknowledgment to Engineer A regarding future projects, and refer all future City X engineering contract decisions to a formal procurement process administered without Engineer C's personal involvement, given the prior relationship.
