Adopt conflict of interest policy for design-build construction projects
Resolution Resolution No. 8-19
In Plain English
The city uses design-build contracts where one company both designs and builds wastewater and stormwater facilities. This method can create conflicts of interest since the same firm handles both roles. The new policy sets rules to prevent contractors from making decisions that benefit their profits over the city's interests.
