About this file

This file is a GRAMA (Government Records Access and Management Act) Business Confidentiality Claim form from the Utah State Archives, applicable to the Provo City School District's Request for Statements of Qualifications for architectural services for a new elementary school. The form provides a template for vendors submitting proposals to claim protection for trade secrets and commercial financial information under Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Claimants must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the entire proposal not permitted to be redacted. The form requires detailed claimant information including company name, address, contact details, and the specific pages and paragraphs for which confidentiality protection is being requested, along with concise statements of reasons supporting each claim.

The document emphasizes that submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification if the governmental entity receives a records request under GRAMA. Vendors must provide specific details about what information they are requesting to protect, identifying the exact pages, paragraphs, and reasons for each confidentiality request. The Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of claimants who fail to submit a properly redacted copy, making vendor compliance with submission requirements critical for maintaining confidentiality protections on sensitive business information included in their architectural services proposals.

Business Request for GRAMA Business Confidentiality Claim

Note: Utah Code § 63G-2-305(1) states that trade secrets can be protected if the person submitting the trade secret provides the governmental entity with a confidentiality claim. Likewise, Utah Code § 63G-2-305(2) states that commercial financial information can be protected if disclosure could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the person submitting the information, and that person has provided a confidentiality claim. Confidentiality claims are described in Utah Code § 63G-2-309. A claim must include a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim and must be submitted with the information requested to be protected. A claimant MUST submit a redacted and non-redacted version of their proposal. The entire proposal may NOT be redacted. The Division of Purchasing will not redact a proposal on behalf of a claimant if they fail to upload a redacted copy of their proposal.
