4-Trade Secretes Attch 8.pdf

This document is Attachment 8 from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), titled "ADOT Confidentiality and Trade Secrets", which outlines the process and requirements for handling proprietary or confidential information in a solicitation response. The document is specifically related to Solicitation No. BPM006648 and provides guidelines for how offerors should designate and protect trade secret or confidential information during the procurement process.

The form requires offerors to indicate whether their response contains proprietary or trade secret information, with WSP Inc. (located at 777 N. 1st Ave, Glendale, AZ 85303) completing the document and checking that their response does not contain such information. The document details the statutory definition of trade secrets, the conditions under which information can be considered confidential, and the procedures for protecting and potentially challenging the confidentiality designation. The attachment also includes provisions for how the state procurement administrator will handle potentially confidential information, including potential disclosure or protection of submitted materials.
