About this file
This is a Claim of Business Confidentiality Form related to an Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) for Architectural Services issued by Alpine School District's Department of Purchasing and conducted by Timpanogos School District Professional Services for design and related architectural services for a new District Office. The solicitation seeks qualified architectural firms to provide comprehensive design services under Utah Procurement Code 63G-6a Part 15 for Design Professional Service Providers and Consultants. The vendor with the highest ranking will be selected to negotiate a contract at compensation determined to be fair and reasonable. If negotiations cannot be successfully concluded with the highest-ranked vendor regarding fair and reasonable compensation, contract requirements, and contract documents, the state may proceed with negotiations with the next highest-ranked vendor.
The form establishes the framework by which bidding companies may claim business confidentiality protections for sensitive information submitted with their qualifications. Companies may assert confidentiality claims for non-public financial statements, specific employee names and contact information, specific customer or client information, and other trade secrets as defined under Utah Code Annotated Section 13-24-2. However, pricing and cost proposals cannot be classified as confidential and will be considered public information, and an entire proposal cannot be identified as protected, confidential, or proprietary. Vendors submitting claims of business confidentiality must specify the pages and paragraphs containing protected information and provide reasons supporting the claim based on either trade secret protections or commercial information that could result in unfair competitive injury if disclosed.

commercial information or non-individual financial information obtained from a person if: (a) disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the person submitting the information or would impair the ability of the governmental entity to obtain necessary information in the future; [and] (b) the person submitting the information has a greater interest in prohibiting access than the public in obtaining access.
