Appendix F.docx

This is Appendix F of a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Santa Clara's Behavioral Health Services Department (BHSD) for Behavioral Health Training Services (RFSQ-BHS-FY25-0176). The appendix establishes the process by which offerors may request that specific sections of their responses be treated as confidential information under the California Public Records Act (CPRA). Offerors must identify the exact page numbers and sections they wish to keep confidential and provide a legal basis for the confidentiality request citing the applicable CPRA exemption under Government Code section 6250 et seq. The County cautions that blanket markings of "confidential" or "proprietary" are unacceptable and that listing information does not guarantee confidentiality. Offerors must complete a form identifying up to twelve items with corresponding page numbers, section numbers, and explanations for their confidentiality requests, along with an authorized signature, offeror name, and date.

The County will disclose any information that does not qualify for a valid CPRA exemption in accordance with applicable law. If an offeror does not request any exemptions or fails to list any items for confidential treatment, the entire response will be treated as non-confidential and subject to public disclosure. Offerors have the option to check a box indicating they are not requesting any exemptions under the CPRA.
