No person who, for compensation, prepares an invitation to bid or request for proposal
for or on behalf of the city shall (i) submit a bid or proposal for that procurement
or any portion thereof or (ii) disclose to any bidder or offeror information concerning
the procurement which is not available to the public. However, the purchasing agent
may permit such person to submit a bid or proposal for that procurement or any portion
thereof if the purchasing agent determines that the exclusion of such person would
limit the number of potential qualified bidders or offerors in a manner contrary to
the best interests of the city.
