About this file
This is a Request for Protected Record form issued by Salt Lake County for use in conjunction with a bio-hazardous medical sharps and animal carcass waste collection and disposal contract opportunity. The form allows bidders and vendors submitting information to Salt Lake County—including the Sheriff's Office, Animal Services, and Health Department—to request confidential status for sensitive business information in accordance with Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The document provides a structured format for claimants to identify the specific records they wish to protect, specify the basis for their confidentiality claim, and submit supporting documentation. Claimants may assert protection under two primary statutory provisions: designation as a trade secret under Utah Code 13-24-2, or as commercial or non-individual financial information where disclosure would cause unfair competitive injury or impair the county's ability to obtain necessary information in the future, and where the provider's interest in restricting access outweighs the public interest in obtaining it.
The form establishes a formal appeals process governed by Utah Code 63G-2-309 and Countywide Policy 2010, requiring that claimants be notified if records claimed as protected are classified as public or if a determination is made that disclosure interests outweigh restriction interests. Protected records cannot be disclosed until the 30-calendar-day appeal period expires or all appeals, including judicial review, are concluded, unless the claimant waives the claim by failing to appeal within the specified timeframe. The form requires a concise written statement supporting the business confidentiality claim, the signature and identification of the claimant representative, and the date of submission. Additional information regarding GRAMA appeal procedures is available on the county website at www.slco.org.

Attachment B
REQUEST FOR PROTECTED RECORD
(Business Confidentiality Claim)
I request that the attached/enclosed information (record) provided to Salt Lake County, or any of its agencies (divisions or programs), be considered confidential and given protected status as defined in Utah’s Government Records Access and Management Act (“GRAMA”).
Name and Address of business and representative making this confidentiality claim:
Description of the information (record) which is to be covered by this confidentiality claim and which you believe qualifies for protected status:
The following reasons support this claim of business confidentiality and protected status under Utah Code § 63G-2-305 (please check all of the following that apply):
(___) 1.
(___) 2.
The record provided is a trade secret as defined in Utah Code § 13-24-2 (See Utah Code §§ 63G-2-305(1) and 63G-2-309).
The record is commercial or non-individual financial information and: (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 Salt Lake County, or its agencies, to obtain necessary information in the future; and (b) the interest of the provider in prohibiting access to the information is greater than the interest of the public in obtaining access. (See Utah Code §§ 63G-2-305(2) and 63G-2-309).
REQUIRED: A concise written statement supporting a business confidentiality claim, as required by Utah Code § 63G-2-309(1). Attach additional sheets if necessary.
NOTE: Claimant shall be notified if a record claimed to be protected is classified public or if the determination is made that the record should be disclosed because the interests favoring access outweigh the interests favoring restriction of access. Records claimed to be protected under this business confidentiality claim may not be disclosed until the period in which to bring an appeal expires or the end of the appeals process, including judicial appeal, unless the claimant, after notice, has waived the claim by not appealing within thirty (30) calendar days. See Utah Code § 63G-2-309(2). The procedure to appeal a GRAMA classification within thirty (30) calendar days is described in Utah Code §§ 63G-2-400.5 through 406 and Countywide Policy 2010, which can be found on the County’s website www.slco.org.
