Decision Question
Should Engineer B file the FOIA request to obtain Engineer A's qualifications before submitting his own firm's qualifications, or should he submit his own qualifications first and then file the FOIA request?
Focus
Engineer B: FOIA Request Timing Relative to Own Submission in Active Procurement
Option1
Submit the firm's own qualifications to the state agency first, then file the FOIA request to obtain Engineer A's qualifications, eliminating the pre-submission informational asymmetry and satisfying the Board's appearance-of-impropriety standard.
Option2
File the FOIA request before submitting the firm's own qualifications, treating FOIA access as a legally open public right that imposes no sequencing obligation on the requesting engineer, and relying on the state's legal duty to disclose as the operative ethical boundary.
Option3
Decline to file any FOIA request targeting competitor qualifications until after the selection process is complete, treating the procurement period as a domain where competitive equity overrides general public disclosure rights regardless of the legal availability of FOIA.
Role Label
