About this file
This document is a Notice to RFP Respondents from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) regarding the public release of proposals under the California Public Records Act. The notice provides guidance to potential bidders about the public nature of their submitted proposals and contract documents, explaining that these materials are generally accessible to the public upon request.
The document outlines procedures for handling confidential or proprietary information, advising respondents to submit proposals without sensitive details or to place such information in a separate, labeled "Confidential" envelope with a brief explanation of its non-public status. CIRM reserves the right to make final determinations about document disclosure and warns that respondents may need to litigate claims of trade secrets if information is challenged.

Notice To RFP Respondents
PUBLIC RELEASE OF PROPOSALS
Under the California Public Records Act, the records of state agencies are generally available to the public upon request. The Proposal you submit will be a public document. If you are awarded the contract, the contract will be a public document.
The Public Records Act allows CIRM to withhold documents, or parts of documents, that reveal trade secrets or information that is confidential or proprietary, or information that would invade personal privacy.
You should submit your Proposal in a form that does not include such information. If you wish to include non-public information, put that information in a separate envelope labeled “Confidential,” and include a brief explanation of the reason the information is non-public. If you do not provide an adequate basis for withholding the information, CIRM is required to make it available to the public. CIRM reserves the right to make the final determination whether to withhold or produce a document or portion of a document in response to a Public Records Act request. If CIRM withholds information at your request, you may be required to litigate any claim of trade secret that you assert.
CIRM is not permitted to provide legal advice about the Public Records Act and/or its exemptions. The following documents provide additional information about CIRM obligations under the Public Records Act:
