DISCLOSURE EXEMPTION

____________________, representing [insert Proposer Name] (hereafter “Proposer”), hereby deposes and swears or affirms that:

1. I am an employee of the Proposer, I have knowledge of the Request for Proposals referenced herein, and I have full authority from the Proposer to submit this disclosure exemption and accept the responsibilities stated herein.

2. I am aware that the Proposer has submitted a Proposal, dated on or about [insert date] (the “Proposal”), to the State of Oregon (State) in response to Request for Proposals S-62900-00012775, for Type 1 Twin- Turbine Powered Helicopter Services, and I am familiar with the contents of the RFP and Proposal.

3. I have read and am familiar with the provisions of Oregon’s Public Records Law, Oregon Revised Statutes (“ORS”) 192.311 through 192.478, and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted by the State of Oregon, which is set forth in ORS 646.461 through ORS 646.475. I understand that the Proposal is a public record held by a public body and is subject to disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law unless specifically exempt from disclosure under that law.

4. I have reviewed the information contained in the Proposal. The Proposer believes the information listed in Exhibit A is exempt from public disclosure (collectively, the “Exempt Information”), which is incorporated herein by this reference. It is my opinion that the Exempt Information is exempt from disclosure under Oregon’s Public Records Law under the specifically designated sections as set forth in Exhibit A or constitutes “Trade Secrets” under either the Oregon Public Records Law or the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted in Oregon because that information is either:

A. A formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data, or compilation of information that:

i. is not patented,

ii. is known only to certain individuals within the Proposer’s organization and that is used in a business the Proposer conducts,

iii. has actual or potential commercial value, and

iv. gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it. OR

B. Information, including a drawing, cost data, customer list, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that:

i. Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and

ii. Is the subject of efforts by the Proposer that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

5. I understand that disclosure of the information referenced in Exhibit A may depend on official or judicial determinations made in accordance with the Public Records Law.

Additional bases of operation may be required as a contingency for fire emergencies. Submit a Flight Rate price per hour below, including both tank and bucket work and in consideration of the possibility that additional bases of operation will be required. Submit a Flight Hour Minimum per day (only in whole and half hours). Enter the Daily Availability Rate using the calculation Flight Hour Minimum x Flight Rate.

Flight Rate $________________________ per hour.

Flight Hour Minimum ____________________ hours per day.

Daily Availability Rate $____________________ per day (Flight Hour Minimum x Flight Rate).

Payment terms will remain the same for the 75-day MAP and for Extension Terms past the 75-day MAP. Each day during the term of the MAP and any Extension Terms, Contractor will be paid the Daily Availability Rate (Flight Hour Minimum) or actual flight time, whichever is greater.

The following rates have been pre-determined by the Agency:

• Extended Standby Rate for a maximum of 5 people (beyond 9-hour Daily Standby/not to exceed 14 hours) = $100.00 per hour/per required person.
