Definition
Serves as the designated point of contact on City X's QBS review team for the new public building project. Administered the pre-submittal meeting process and published submission requirements. Confronted with a late, misdirected submittal from Firm B received at 2:05 pm in the city manager's office rather than by 10:00 am in the city clerk's office, generating an ethical dilemma about whether to accept or reject the submittal given Firm B's prior successful project history.
