Definition
The city manager's administrative assistant received Firm B's misdirected QBS submittal at the city manager's office at 2:05 pm on January 30 — after the published deadline and at the wrong location. The assistant intercepted Engineer A upon his return to the office and presented the envelope, creating the ethical dilemma about late submittal acceptance. The date- and time-stamp on the envelope establishes the evidentiary record of non-compliant receipt.
