Decision question
When the state agency receives ABC Engineering's disclosure that it served as lead peer reviewer on the same project for which it now seeks to compete in a design-build procurement, what approval standard and remedial conditions — if any — should the agency impose to preserve procurement integrity and protect competing firms from the informational asymmetry created by ABC Engineering's privileged advisory access?
Focus
State Agency: Procurement Integrity Preservation When Approving Post-Peer-Review Design-Build Participation by the Reviewing Firm
Option1
Approve ABC Engineering's participation conditioned on mandatory information firewalls between the peer review team and the proposal development team, disclosure of ABC Engineering's specific peer review contributions to all competing firms, and recusal of Engineer A from proposal sections directly drawing on peer review knowledge
Option2
Approve ABC Engineering's participation on the basis of the one-year cooling-off period and ABC Engineering's disclosure alone, treating informed agency consent as a sufficient procedural safeguard without imposing additional structural remediation requirements
Option3
Refer the approval decision to an independent procurement officer or ethics board with no stake in the design-build outcome, and withhold agency approval pending that independent determination, on the grounds that the agency's dual role as peer review client and procurement authority structurally compromises its ability to render an objective consent decision
