http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#EqualAccesstoBidInformationinPublicProcurement
Applied to
Constructability information about water treatment facility design
Public bidding process for construction contract
Balancing with
Design Quality Through Constructability Input Obligation
Concrete expression
All prospective bidders for the water treatment facility construction contract are entitled to equal access to the constructability information and technical insights that Engineer A seeks to obtain from Contractor B — the principle requires that such information be disseminated equally rather than shared selectively with one prospective bidder
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
Equal access requires that Engineer A not share technical project information with Contractor B in a private consultation, but instead make any constructability information available to all prospective bidders through formal mechanisms such as bid addenda or public pre-bid meetings
Invoked by
Engineer A Water Treatment Facility Design Engineer Present Case
Municipality Water Treatment Client
Tension resolution
Equal access is achieved by convening a public constructability meeting at which all prospective bidders may attend and receive the same information simultaneously
Source Evidence
Source text
