In accordance with State conflict of interest law, a contractor or consultant that prepares, advises or assists in the preparation of plans and/or specifications that will be included as part of an invitation for bids or request for proposals shall be ineligible: (i) to submit a bid or proposal under that invitation for bids or request for proposals; (ii) to be a subcontractor or sub-consultant under a bid or proposal under that invitation for bids or request for proposals; and (iii) to be a subcontractor or sub-consultant under (or have any interest in) a contract arising from that invitation for bids or request for proposals. This ineligibility shall not apply where a single entity acts as both the designer and builder of the same project pursuant to a design-build procurement contract or other alternative procurement method-based contract as may be permitted by law. Nothing in this section is intended to differ from State conflict of interest law, as may be amended from time to time, and in the event of a conflict between this section and State conflict of interest law, State conflict of interest law shall control.
