ATTACHMENT 07 Confidential Information List

This is a confidential information list attachment for the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) RFP 27-14 regarding the Hilo Urban Trails Content and Experience Development project. The document serves as a template or reference document for bidders to identify and mark any proprietary, confidential, or trade secret information they wish to protect within their proposals. The attachment provides guidance to proposing firms or individuals on how to designate sensitive materials submitted in response to the RFP, ensuring that commercially sensitive information can be appropriately safeguarded during the proposal evaluation process and public records requests.

The confidential information list is a standard administrative component of the RFP process designed to protect proprietary business information while maintaining transparency and compliance with Hawaii's public records laws. Bidders are expected to clearly identify and justify any information they claim as confidential, allowing the HTA to balance the need for public disclosure with legitimate privacy and business confidentiality concerns. This document does not contain pricing information, set-asides, or specific contract terms but rather establishes the mechanism for protecting sensitive data submitted as part of the solicitation response.
