About this file
This document is a Proprietary Information Agreement between the Sacramento County Water Agency and consultants submitting proposals for on-call general engineering services in California. The agreement establishes the terms under which consultants may submit proprietary and confidential information as part of their proposal response. The agency reserves the right to disclose proprietary data as reasonably necessary to evaluate proposals and monitor service delivery. The agreement establishes a confidentiality period of a specified number of years, during which the agency agrees not to disclose consultant proprietary data to external parties without authorization, except as required by law or for proposal evaluation purposes.
The consultant agrees to defend and indemnify the Sacramento County Water Agency, its board of supervisors, officers, directors, agents, employees, and volunteers against any claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from the agency's assertion of confidentiality regarding proprietary data or from performance of the agreement. The consultant also assumes full responsibility for defending the agency against any legal action resulting from Public Records Act requests or subpoenas for the proprietary information. Notably, the agency explicitly reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether to assert confidentiality claims on behalf of the consultant. If the consultant fails to execute this agreement, the agency is released from any obligation to protect proprietary data and may freely grant Public Records Act requests relating to such information.
