The responsible unit shall present an objective process to the review panel for the purpose of rating the proposals. In addition thereto, if needed, the Departmental component may convene an advisory panel consisting of community stakeholders and clients/consumers to provide their programmatic and service-oriented expertise to the review panel, as appropriate. Members of the advisory panel shall act in an advisory capacity in order to make recommendations to the review panel only and shall not have a vote in the contractual award process and shall not render advice on any matter in which they, their employer or a family member have a pecuniary interest.
