About this file
This document is a GRAMA (Government Records Access and Management Act) Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives for use with the State of Utah Division of Purchasing in connection with the BD27-1 Feasibility Study for Clean Water Act Section 404 Assumption procurement. The form is designed to allow vendors and contractors to claim protection for trade secrets and commercial financial information submitted in response to government requests, in accordance with Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Vendors submitting proposals in response to this RFP must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals to request confidentiality protection; failure to provide a redacted version will result in the Division of Purchasing declining to redact documents on behalf of the claimant.
The feasibility study contract, to be administered by the State of Utah Division of Water Quality, requires a single vendor to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the state's ability to assume administrative authority over Clean Water Act Section 404 permitting responsibilities. The resulting report must be delivered within 6 to 9 months of contract award, with a firm deadline of June 15, 2027. Vendors are required to guarantee pricing throughout the project duration. It is important to note that submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification status if the government receives subsequent records requests under GRAMA; claimants must provide a concise statement of reasons supporting their confidentiality request for each specific page, paragraph, and item claimed as confidential.

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.
