About this file
This is a Confidential Treatment Form issued by the State of Michigan for RFP 260000002372, a janitorial and grounds services solicitation for the St. Ignace Rest Area located in the Superior Region. The form serves as a mandatory submission requirement for all bidders regardless of whether their proposals contain confidential information. Bidders must complete either Section 1, declaring that no confidential treatment is requested, or Section 2, formally requesting confidential treatment of specific materials. The form requires that any request for confidential treatment include detailed documentation identifying the exact proposal location of protected information, classification of the material as trade secret, proprietary financial information, or proprietary information, and comprehensive legal justification demonstrating how the material qualifies for protection under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act exemptions or applicable case law. Any bidder requesting confidential treatment must submit both a standard proposal and a redacted public copy with sensitive information clearly removed.
The State of Michigan reserves the right to make final determinations regarding whether materials qualify for confidential treatment under applicable FOIA exemptions, and bidders are explicitly prohibited from requesting confidential treatment for resumes, pricing information, and marketing materials. The State is not obligated to notify bidders of FOIA requests or if proposals are subsequently released to the public. Failure to submit a properly completed Confidential Treatment Form with the bid proposal constitutes grounds for rejection as non-responsive, and improper completion or submission may result in the entire proposal being publicly disclosed without any redactions following an award recommendation. The form must be signed by the same individual who signs the bidder's proposal.
