About this file

This document is a Designation of Confidential and Proprietary Information form for Milwaukee County, specifically related to a 2025 Request for Proposal (RFP). The form is designed to protect certain proprietary and confidential information submitted in a proposal response, with specific provisions under Wisconsin State Statute 19.36(5) and 134.90(1)(c) regarding trade secrets. The document allows the proposing company to request that certain pages of their proposal be treated as confidential and not released without written approval, with the understanding that pricing information automatically becomes public when proposals are opened.

The form is specifically linked to a Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Services (BHS) Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) Expression of Interest (EOI) seeking new or expanded ancillary service providers for youth and adult programs in 2026. The EOI is open to community agencies, organizations, and interested parties who want to add new service codes or enter the CCS network. Notably, current providers seeking to continue existing services are instructed not to use this EOI process. The document emphasizes that all listed services are available to providers who can serve targeted participant groups, with the goal of expanding the CCS service network.

DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION ITEM # DCPI

The attached material submitted in response to the 2025 RFP includes proprietary and confidential information, which qualifies as a trade secret, as provided in s. 19.36(5), Wis. Stats. or is otherwise material that can be kept confidential under the Wisconsin Open Records Law. As such, we ask that certain pages, as indicated below, of this proposal response be treated as confidential material and not be released without our written approval.

Prices always become public information when proposals are open, and therefore cannot be kept confidential.

Other information cannot be kept confidential unless it is a trade secret. Trade secret is defined in s. 134.90(1)(c). Wis. Stats. As follows: “Trade secret” means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process to which all of the following apply:

1. The information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.

2. The information is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances.

We request that the following pages not be released:

Section Page # Topic

IN THE EVENT THE DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY OF THIS INFORMATION IS CHALLENGED, THE UNDERSIGNED HERBY AGREES TO PROVIDE LEGAL COUNSEL OR OTHER NECESSARY ASSISTANCE TO DEFEND THE DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND AGREES TO HOLD MILWAUKEE COUNTY HARMLESS FOR ANY COSTS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF MILWAUKEE COUNTY’S AGREEMENT TO WITHOLD THE MATERIALS.

Failure to include this form in the RFP may mean that all information provided as part of the proposal response will be open to examination and copying. Milwaukee County considers other markings of confidential in the proposal document to be insufficient. The undersigned agrees to hold Milwaukee County harmless for any damages arising out of the release of any materials unless they are specifically identified above.
