About this file

This document is a Kansas Open Records Act (KORA) Disclosure Agreement between the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) and a contractor who submitted a proposal in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP). The agreement addresses the contractor's submission of a redacted version of its winning proposal, with certain information withheld that the contractor considers confidential and proprietary. Under the terms of the agreement, KTA commits to producing only the redacted version of the proposal in response to all future KORA requests received by the agency. The contractor submitting the proposal will retain the right to designate information as confidential, while KTA agrees to honor those redactions when fulfilling public records requests.

The agreement establishes an indemnification provision requiring the contractor to defend and hold harmless KTA, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses—including reasonable attorneys' fees—arising from KTA's disclosure of the redacted proposal or any claims that the redactions were improper or violated third-party rights. The agreement is governed by Kansas state law and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding the handling and disclosure of the proposal. The agreement requires execution by authorized representatives of both KTA and the contractor, with signature lines and date fields provided for both parties.
