About this file
This document is a GRAMA (Government Records Access and Management Act) Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, applicable to the Ogden Valley City building permit administration contract opportunity in Utah. The form serves as a template for vendors and contractors to request protection of trade secrets and commercial financial information submitted in response to government solicitations. The document outlines the legal basis for confidentiality claims under Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309, establishing that trade secrets and commercial financial information can be protected from public disclosure if the submitting party files a proper confidentiality claim and provides both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposal.
The form requires claimants to provide detailed information including company name, address, contact details, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the confidentiality claim. Importantly, the document emphasizes that claimants must submit both redacted and unredacted versions of their complete proposal, as the Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of bidders who fail to provide a redacted copy. The form includes fields for specifying which pages and paragraphs require protection and the corresponding reasons, but it notes that submitting a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that information will be protected from disclosure if the government receives a public records request. The document provides references to applicable Utah statutes and links to the Utah State Archives ombudsman office for additional guidance on GRAMA procedures.

Office of the Government Records Ombudsman Utah State Archives
Business Request for GRAMA Business Confidentiality Claim
Note: Utah Code § 63G-2-305(1) states that trade secrets can be protected if the person submitting the trade secret provides the governmental entity with a confidentiality claim. Likewise, Utah Code § 63G-2-305(2) states that commercial financial information can be protected if disclosure could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the person submitting the information, and that person has provided a confidentiality claim. Confidentiality claims are described in Utah Code § 63G-2-309. A claim must include a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim and must be submitted with the information requested to be protected. A claimant MUST submit a redacted and non-redacted version of their proposal. The entire proposal may NOT be redacted. The Division of Purchasing will not redact a proposal on behalf of a claimant if they fail to upload a redacted copy of their proposal.
