Basis of protest: The protest was based on the fact that the low bidder's team included a former president of the Board of Airport Commissioners who participated in discussions and plans on the media services contract before he resigned from the commission in 2010.
More information on the protest:
- L.A. airports panel throws out bids on media services contract, August 20, 2013, Los Angeles Times

- Does your agency have a code of ethics that prevents conflicts of interest and addresses other issues?
- When was the code of ethics last updated?
- Is the code of ethics comprehensive in addressing a wide variety of ethical issues?
- Compare your code of ethics with those of other agencies to pick up idea. For example, the City of Seattle has a strong code of ethics you may want to review.
- Are your agency's employees regularly trained on the provisions of the code of ethics?
