Decision question
After making the verbal pre-selection promise, should Engineer C disclose the promise to City X's procurement authority and recuse himself from future procurement decisions involving Engineer A's firm, or allow the procurement to proceed without disclosure or recusal?
Focus
Engineer C, having already made the verbal pre-selection promise to Engineer A's firm, must decide whether to disclose the promise to City X's governing procurement authority and recuse himself from future procurement decisions involving Engineer A's firm, or to allow the procurement to proceed without disclosure.
Option1
Immediately disclose the verbal pre-selection promise to City X's governing body and procurement authority, recuse himself from all future procurement decisions involving Engineer A's firm, and ensure the future project proceeds through an open competitive qualification-based process administered by a different official.
Option2
Allow the future procurement to proceed under Engineer C's authority without disclosing the prior verbal promise, treating the informal commitment as a private matter that does not rise to the level of a formal conflict of interest requiring disclosure under City X's procurement regulations.
Option3
Quietly withdraw from the future procurement decision by delegating it to another official without formally disclosing the prior verbal promise to City X's governing body, treating recusal alone as sufficient to cure the conflict of interest without creating a public record of the improper promise.
