ATTACHMENT 07 Confidential Information List if applicable.docx

This is a Confidential Information List attachment for RFP No. 27-16, issued by the Hawai'i Tourism Authority (HTA), a state agency seeking qualified firms or individuals to conduct and develop a Statewide Hawai'i Agritourism Study and Plan. The solicitation requests the development of a data-informed, policy-relevant, and implementation-oriented framework to support responsible agritourism development in Hawai'i. Rather than requiring large-scale new primary research, the offeror shall build upon existing work, update or supplement prior findings as necessary, and translate the existing body of research into a concise, implementation-oriented statewide framework. The study aims to support local farmers, strengthen regional economies, diversify visitor experiences, increase direct farm-to-consumer connections, and advance destination management objectives while preserving Hawai'i's agricultural and rural character.

The confidential information list attachment indicates that sensitive information may be included in the proposal submission process or project deliverables. Specific pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, response dates, and contract term details are not provided in this attachment document itself, as it serves solely to identify and protect confidential materials associated with this solicitation. Offerors should address community concerns related to traffic, infrastructure, visitor impacts, and neighborhood compatibility as part of their proposed framework, while ensuring appropriate usage of agricultural lands and protection of natural and cultural resources.
