Definition
Firm B participated in the mandatory pre-submittal meeting and submitted a Statement of Qualifications for the City X public building QBS. The submittal was received at 2:05 pm on January 30 in the city manager's office — four hours and five minutes after the published 10:00 am deadline and at the wrong office. Firm B had previously performed well on several engineering design projects for the city, creating a prior relationship that heightens the ethical tension around preferential treatment.
