Question

an organization building a group of houses has submitted a request for bid to architects. one of the bidders is the brother of one of the projects team members. what should the team member do? do nothing ensure the brother gets the bid over the other architects tell the brother not to submit the bid disclose the sibling relationship to the project manager

Explanation:

In ethical and professional project management (under Social Science, specifically Construction Project Management or related ethics), conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Doing nothing hides the conflict, favoring the brother is unethical, and telling the brother not to bid is unnecessary if disclosure and proper process are followed. Disclosing the relationship to the project manager allows for transparency and proper handling.

Answer:

D. Disclose the sibling relationship to the project manager
