Decision Question
Would it be ethical for Engineer A and ABC Engineering to accept the design-build joint venture invitation and submit a proposal for the major road transportation project, given that ABC Engineering's peer review contributions — scoped to clarifications and refinements — were directly incorporated into the RFP under which it now seeks to compete, and that one year elapsed between completion of the peer review and issuance of the RFP?
Focus
ABC Engineering / Engineer A: Ethical Permissibility of Participating in Design-Build Joint Venture After Serving as Lead Peer Reviewer on the Same Project
Option1
Accept the design-build joint venture invitation, disclose the peer review conflict fully to the state agency, obtain explicit agency approval, and implement internal information firewalls separating the peer review team from the proposal development team before submitting any proposal
Option2
Accept the design-build joint venture invitation and disclose the peer review role to the state agency, relying on the one-year cooling-off period and agency consent as sufficient ethical safeguards without imposing additional internal structural constraints on proposal development
Option3
Decline the design-build joint venture invitation on the grounds that ABC Engineering's peer review contributions were directly incorporated into the RFP, creating a structural informational asymmetry that no cooling-off period or agency approval can adequately remediate
Role Label
Engineer A / ABC Engineering
