Decision Question
Should the public agency independently verify the technical and financial adequacy of Firm A's $50,000 proposal before executing the contract award, or proceed with the award based on the price-inclusive procurement procedure already adopted?
Focus
Public Agency: Whether to Verify Technical and Financial Adequacy of Firm A's $50,000 Proposal Before Executing the Award
Option1
Before executing the contract award, require Firm A to submit a written explanation of how it intends to deliver competent highway bridge design services at $50,000 — including staffing, scope assumptions, and economic basis — and evaluate that explanation against minimum competency standards before proceeding.
Option2
Execute the award to Firm A as the low bidder consistent with the price-inclusive selection procedure already adopted, treating the agency's pre-qualification of all three firms as sufficient verification of technical competence and relying on contract terms and post-award oversight to ensure adequate performance.
Option3
Pause the award pending the public hearing already triggered by Firms B and C's protest, and commission an independent technical panel to evaluate whether $50,000 is economically feasible for competent highway bridge design given the project scope, using the panel's findings as the basis for the final award decision.
