As provided in the request for proposals, discussion may be conducted with responsible
offerors who submit proposals determined to be reasonably susceptible of being selected
for award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and conformance
to, the solicitation requirements. Offerors shall be accorded fair and equal treatment
with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals and such
revisions may be permitted after submissions and prior to award for the purpose of
obtaining best and final offers. In conducting discussions, there shall be no disclosure
of the identity of competing offerors or of any information derived from proposals
submitted by competing offerors. (Ord. No. 2757, 1/22/83, Sec. 1)
