1-Confidential and Proprietary Info Declaration Form - September 2026.pdf

This is a Confidential and Proprietary Information Declaration Form issued by the Salt Lake City Corporation Purchasing & Contracts Management Division for use in connection with the Request for Proposals SLCI27038 for Development Services Process Optimization. The form is a Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) confidentiality claim document that allows contractors or private providers to identify and request protection of trade secrets and commercial financial information submitted in response to the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities solicitation. Under Utah Code 63G-2-305, trade secrets and commercial financial information that could result in unfair competitive injury may be protected if accompanied by a proper confidentiality claim that includes a concise statement of supporting reasons. The form requires claimant information including company name, address, representative contact details, and submission date, along with specification of the exact records or pages for which confidentiality is claimed.

Contractors submitting proposals must complete this form to assert any confidentiality protections for sensitive business information included in their proposals. The form instructs claimants to indicate whether a public redacted copy of the protected records is also being provided. Importantly, the form includes a notice that submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that records will be classified as protected if the government receives a GRAMA records request, meaning the ultimate determination of protected status rests with the governmental entity and applicable state law. This document is a standard procedural requirement for the SLCI27038 procurement, which has a not-to-exceed budget of $250,000.00 and seeks proposals from qualified consultants to audit and optimize the Development Services Division's permitting, review, and closeout processes.
