2-CONFIDENTIALITY AND TRADE SECRETS BPM006653.pdf

The document is an Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Confidentiality and Trade Secrets Attachment form for a solicitation with the solicitation number BPM006653. The form is designed to allow a proposer (in this case, Pete Nelson Automotive) to designate whether their submitted materials contain proprietary or trade secret information that should be protected from public disclosure under Arizona public records law.

In this specific instance, the proposer (Pete Nelson Automotive, located in Sun City, Arizona) has marked that their response does not contain proprietary or trade secret information, meaning their entire submission will become a public record in accordance with Arizona Administrative Code R2-7-C317. The form outlines the process for determining confidentiality of submitted materials, including specific criteria for what constitutes a trade secret, and requires the proposer to agree that technical and confidential information may be shared with evaluation committees while indemnifying the state against any potential claims arising from information disclosure.
