Decision Question
Is state agency approval a sufficient ethical safeguard for ABC Engineering's post-peer-review design-build participation, given that the agency occupies a structurally compromised position as both the peer review client and the procurement authority, and given the systemic risk that conditional permissibility creates for the long-term integrity of public peer review programs?
Focus
Adequacy of Agency Approval as Ethical Safeguard: Structural Bias and the Limits of Conditional Permissibility
Option1
Seek state agency approval for design-build participation, disclose the full scope of peer review contributions to the agency, and accept participation only if the agency's approval is granted through a procurement officer or process independent of the design-build procurement decision
Option2
Seek and obtain state agency approval for design-build participation through the agency's standard procurement authorization process, treating that approval — combined with state law compliance and the one-year cooling-off period — as sufficient ethical authorization to proceed
Option3
Decline the design-build joint venture invitation on the grounds that the state agency's structural conflict of interest as both peer review client and procurement authority renders its approval an unreliable ethical safeguard, and that the systemic risk to peer review program integrity requires categorical abstention regardless of agency consent
