About this file
This is a Public Release of Proposals Notice from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) for RFP Number 26CM000413. The document serves as official notice to RFP respondents regarding the public disclosure of submitted proposals. CIRM informs bidders that all proposals submitted will become public documents under the California Public Records Act, as will any resulting awarded contract. The notice explains that proposals should be submitted in a format that excludes trade secrets, confidential information, proprietary data, and personal privacy information. Respondents who wish to include non-public information must place such materials in a separate envelope clearly labeled "Confidential" with a brief explanation of the justification for withholding.
CIRM retains the sole authority to determine whether documents or portions thereof will be withheld or released in response to Public Records Act requests. The agency notes that the Public Records Act permits withholding of documents containing trade secrets or confidential proprietary information, but emphasizes that inadequate substantiation for withholding will result in public release. CIRM reserves the right to require respondents to litigate claims of trade secret protection and clarifies that the agency does not provide legal advice regarding Public Records Act exemptions. The document directs respondents to CIRM's Public Records Access Guide for additional information on the agency's obligations under applicable law.

RFP Number: 26CM000413 Exhibit E_Public Release of Proposals Notice
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:
