| 摘要： | In both federal and state law, the use of emergency procurement procedures allows for limited competition in selecting a contractor however, this limitation must be carefully utilized and fully documented (Perry and Hines 2007, italics added). Herein lies the crux of the source selection issue in expediting procurement procedures during a crisis. Although the law allows state transportation officials to do what it takes to resolve the emergency, they are expected to maintain an extremely careful balancing act between expeditiously resolving the crisis and abusing their authority to circumvent the routine full and open competition process using the emergency as justification. The ability to waive standard procedures comes with the requirement to use that authority both sparingly and wisely. In the words of the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) procedures manual (2007), Lack of planning does not constitute an emergency. Another author writing on the subject of emergency procurement puts it this way: Perhaps a good rule of thumb is, when in doubt, bid it out (Houston 2011). |
