Improper Communications and Contacts. Proposers are required to conduct the preparation of their QSs with professional integrity and free of lobbying activities. Proposers and their respective agents and consultants are not permitted to contact, directly or indirectly, any member of the Commission, TxDOT’s administration, TxDOT’s staff or TxDOT’s consultants identified in Section 1 regarding the subject matter of this RFQ after the issuance date of this RFQ, except as specifically permitted hereby or approved in advance by the Director of the Texas Turnpike Authority Division or his designee. Any verified allegation that a responding Proposer team or team member or an agent or consultant of the foregoing has made such contact or attempted to influence the evaluation, ranking, and/or selection of shortlisted Proposers may be cause for TxDOT to disqualify the Proposer team from submitting a QS, to disqualify the team member from participating in a Proposer team and/or to discontinue further consideration of such Proposer team and to return its QS. Following shortlisting, TxDOT anticipates that certain communications and contacts will be permitted and the RFDP and/or other written communications from TxDOT will set forth the rules and parameters of such permitted contacts and communications. To the extent any Proposer intends at any time to initiate contact with the general public regarding the Project, the nature of such intended contact and the substance thereof must be approved in writing by TxDOT prior to the commencement of such activities.
