2-ADOT CONFIDENTIALITY AND TRADE SECRETS.pdf

This document is an Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Confidentiality and Trade Secrets attachment for a solicitation (Solicitation No. BPM006653). The form is designed to manage proprietary and trade secret information during the state procurement process, specifically addressing how confidential materials submitted as part of a solicitation response will be handled under Arizona public records law.

The document requires offerors to designate whether their response contains trade secret information, with the selected offeror (Christian Brothers Automotive) indicating that their response does not contain proprietary or trade secret information. The form outlines the process for protecting confidential information, including provisions for review by the state procurement administrator and potential disclosure. The offeror agrees that their entire offer, including any confidential or trade secret information, may be shared with an evaluation committee and technical advisors, and they indemnify the state against any claims related to withholding information.
