Case context
ABC Engineering's peer review was focused on clarifications and refinements of existing construction plans and specifications, which were ultimately incorporated into the design-build RFP. This gave ABC Engineering detailed knowledge of the project design that competing design-build firms would not have had through the normal RFP process.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Obligated party
ABC Engineering (Engineer A)
Obligation statement
ABC Engineering must refrain from exploiting the privileged access to the state agency's construction plans, specifications, and design details obtained during the independent external peer review as a competitive advantage in the design-build procurement — including refraining from using insider knowledge of design weaknesses, specification details, or scope refinements incorporated into the RFP to gain an unfair advantage over competing design-build proposers.
Temporal scope
From the time of accepting XYZ Construction's invitation through the entire design-build proposal and procurement process
Source Evidence
Source text
The peer review is limited in scope and focused on clarifications and refinements of existing construction plans and specifications, which are ultimately incorporated into a Request for Proposal soliciting proposals for design-build services to complete the major transportation project.
