Impaired objectivity – The firm has not performed work on an affiliated past or current Collier County project identified above to evaluate proposals / past performance of itself or a competitor, which calls into question the contractor’s ability to render impartial advice to the government. Unequal access to information – The firm has not had access to nonpublic information as part of its performance of a Collier County project identified above which may have provided the contractor (or an affiliate) with an unfair competitive advantage in current or future solicitations and contracts.

All documents produced as a result of the work completed in the past or currently being worked on for the above- mentioned project; and, 2.
