2-ADOT CONFIDENTIALITY AND TRADE SECRETS.pdf

The document is an Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Confidentiality and Trade Secrets attachment for Solicitation No. BPM006653. The form is completed by Earnhardt Enterprises, Inc. dba Earnhardt Toyota, located in Mesa, Arizona, as part of a state procurement process. It outlines the procedures for designating and protecting confidential or trade secret information submitted in response to a solicitation.

The document does not describe specific goods or services under contract. Instead, it provides a mechanism for vendors to declare whether their solicitation response contains proprietary or trade secret information. The form requires the proposer to either affirm that their response does not contain such information, or to provide detailed justification if claiming trade secret status. The proposer agrees that confidential information may be shared with evaluation committees and technical advisors, and indemnifies the state against any claims arising from the disclosure of the submitted materials.
