About this file

This is a Proprietary Information Agreement template between the County of Sacramento and a consultant regarding the protection of proprietary and confidential data submitted in response to a Request for Proposal. The agreement establishes the terms under which the County will receive and handle sensitive information provided by the consultant in connection with an RFP response. The consultant submits proprietary data under the understanding that the County will not disclose or reproduce the information to external parties without authorization, except as required by law. The County retains the right to use submitted proprietary data as reasonably necessary to evaluate proposals and monitor services related to the RFP. The agreement duration is specified in years and is executed by the consultant and County on a date to be completed.

The agreement obligates the consultant to defend and indemnify the County against any legal claims resulting from the County's assertion of confidentiality when responding to Public Records Act requests or subpoenas for the proprietary data. The consultant assumes all liability and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from performance of the agreement. If the consultant fails to execute the agreement, the County becomes free to release the proprietary data in response to public records requests without asserting confidentiality. The County reserves sole discretion to determine whether to assert confidentiality claims on behalf of the consultant. The template includes blank spaces for the consultant's name, contract term duration, and execution date to be completed when executed.
