21 - Evaluation Criteria Weighting of Price Criterion Clarity of Scope Definition Performance Risk Price as % of Total Points 41 Assign points for price based on percentage difference from low price Conflicts of Interest Facts: A public agency hires a contractor as a consultant to develop specifications for a building audio/visual system. Question: May the contractor bid on the project when it is advertised for construction bids?
22 Conflicts of Interest Issues to Consider: 1. Advantage: Does it give the contractor advantages in the bidding not enjoyed by others: Knowledge Time to prepare bid Designed around products only they are familiar with 43 Conflicts of Interest Issues to Consider: 2. Perception: What will be the perception in the contracting community about whether this is a transparent or equitable process?
23 Conflicts of Interest Issues to Consider: 3. Confidence: Does it increase the public s confidence in government contracting? 45 Conflicts of Interest Issues to Consider: 4. Protest: Does it increase the likelihood of a protest being received from other bidders?
24 Conflicts of Interest Issues to Consider: 5. FTA Regulations: Organizational conflicts of interest are prohibited (Circular 4220) Unequal Access to Information. The contractor has an unfair competitive advantage through obtaining access to nonpublic information during the performance of an earlier contract. Biased Ground Rules. During the conduct of an earlier procurement, the contractor has established the ground rules for a future procurement by developing specifications, evaluation factors, or similar documents. 47 Conflicts of Interest Issues to Consider: 6. Planning Ahead: Disclose intentions to designer before contracting with them whether they will be permitted to bid on the construction 48 FTA expects the recipient to analyze each planned acquisition in order to identify and evaluate potential organizational conflicts of interest as early in the acquisition process as possible, and avoid, neutralize, or mitigate potential conflicts before contract award. (Circular 4220) 24
25 Conflicts of Interest 49 The perception of a conflict of interest in a government agency diminishes credibility, erodes public trust, and compromises integrity. A conflict of interest creates the belief that the owner s interests may not be best represented, particularly concerning matters which are in dispute between parties.
