Appendix F.docx

This is Appendix F of a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Santa Clara, California, Behavioral Health Services Department, for Program Evaluator Services (RFSQ-BHS-FY24-0084). The appendix provides instructions for offerors to identify any sections of their responses that they wish to request remain confidential under the California Public Records Act (CPRA). The document requires offerors to list specific page numbers and sections they seek to protect, along with the legal basis for the confidentiality request under Government Code Section 6250 et seq. Offerors must note that marking an entire response as "confidential" or "proprietary" is not acceptable, and the County will only honor requests that identify specific sections with valid legal justification.

The appendix contains a table with ten numbered items for offerors to detail their confidentiality requests, with columns for page number, section/sub-section reference, and explanation of the legal basis for the exemption. The form includes signature lines for authorized representatives and the offeror name with the submission date. Offerors who are not requesting any exemptions may check a designated box, though the County will treat any response as non-confidential if no specific exemptions are listed. This document establishes the procedural requirements for protecting proprietary or legally exempt information in the bid submission process.
