Decision question
Should Firms A and B disclose to the agency that their own contribution would be nominal and refer the agency directly to Engineer X, or submit affirmative qualification responses as prime professionals while disclosing Engineer X as a planned sub-consultant?
Focus
Firms A and B Broker-Only Role Transparency and Specialist Referral Duty: Whether Firms A and B Should Disclose Their Nominal Contribution and Refer the Agency to Engineer X Directly Rather Than Submitting as Prime Professionals
Option1
Decline to submit as prime professional and instead affirmatively inform the agency that Engineer X is the qualified specialist for this work, satisfying the Broker-Only Role Transparency and Specialist Referral Duty without misrepresenting the firm's own substantive capability.
Option2
Submit an affirmative qualification response as prime professional while explicitly disclosing that Engineer X will perform all specialized technical work and that the firm's own contribution will be limited to project management, coordination, and administrative oversight — relying on contextual calibration of the substantive contribution threshold to justify the prime role.
Option3
Submit an affirmative qualification response as prime professional that identifies Engineer X as a planned sub-consultant without explicitly characterizing the firm's own contribution as nominal, relying on the recognized legitimacy of prime-subconsultant structures to justify the submission.
Role
Engineer X Specialist Expert Repositioned as Prime
