Decision question
When seeking to submit a revised qualification proposal after restructuring its joint venture team, should Firm A openly disclose the restructuring and condition its amendment request on equal opportunity being extended to all competing firms, submit the revision without explanation, or request permission without the equal-treatment condition?
Focus
Having decided to restructure its joint venture team in response to the screening committee's deficiency feedback, Firm A must now decide how to handle the submission of revised qualifications to the utility authority. The firm can openly disclose the restructuring and formally request authorization to amend its submission — conditioning that request on equal amendment opportunity being extended to all seven competing firms — or it can submit an amended proposal without explanation, or it can request permission without conditioning it on equal treatment for competitors.
Option1
Openly inform the utility authority of the joint venture team restructuring, formally request authorization to submit an amended qualification statement through proper channels, and explicitly condition that request on the authority extending the same amendment opportunity to all seven competing firms — thereby satisfying both the honest disclosure obligation and the competitive fairness preservation obligation simultaneously.
Option2
File the revised qualification statement reflecting the restructured joint venture without disclosing the nature of the change to the utility authority or seeking formal authorization, circumventing the procurement process and violating the honest disclosure and honorable professional conduct obligations.
Option3
Honestly disclose the restructuring and seek formal authorization from the utility authority, but without conditioning the request on the authority extending equivalent amendment rights to all other competing firms — partially fulfilling the transparency obligation while failing the competitive fairness preservation obligation.
