If the vendor considers any portion of the documents, data or records submitted in its bid to be trade secret, as defined in Section 812.081(1)(c), F.S., and exempt from public inspection or disclosure pursuant to Florida’s Public Records Law, the vendor must submit all such information in a separately bound document (or in the case of electronic media, in a manner compliant with Section 4.1.4, , with the words "Trade Secret" included in the file name) clearly labeled "Attachment to Bid, ITB No. – Trade Secret Material". Appropriate cross-references should be included in nonexempt materials. The first page of the electronic file and hardcopy documents must explain why the information in the document is a trade secret. This submission must be made no later than the bid submittal deadline. Where such information is part of material already required to be submitted as a separately bound or enclosed portion of the bid, it shall be further segregated and separately bound or enclosed and clearly labeled as set forth above in addition to any other labeling required of the material. If the vendor considers any portion of a submission made after its bid to be trade secret the vendor must clearly label the submission as containing trade secret information (or in the case of electronic media, include "Trade Secret" in the relevant file names).

4.3.2 Vendor’s Duty to Respond to Public Records Requests

In response to any notice by the Department that a public records request received by the Department encompasses any portion of the separately bound part of the vendor’s bid or other submissions labeled as “trade secret,” the vendor shall expeditiously provide the Department, or the public pursuant to subsection 119.0701(2), Florida Statutes, with a redacted version of the document(s) and identify in writing the specific statutes and facts that authorize exemption of the information from the Public Records Law. If different exemptions are claimed to be applicable to different portions of the redacted information, the vendor shall provide information correlating the nature of the claims to the redacted information. The redacted copy must only exclude or obliterate only those exact portions that are claimed confidential or trade secret. If the vendor fails to promptly

DCF ITB 2223 080 10 of 20 submit a redacted copy and justification in response to the notice of a public records request, the Department is authorized to produce the records sought without any redaction.

4.3.3 Department not Obligated to Defend Vendor Claims

The Department is not obligated to agree with or defend any vendor claim of exemption from inspection and copying under Florida’s Public Records Law. The vendor is responsible for defending such claims. Further, the vendor shall protect, defend, and indemnify, including attorney’s fees and costs, the Department for actions (including litigation initiated by the Department) arising from or relating to such claims.

SECTION 5. THE SELECTION METHODOLOGY

The Department intends to award the contract to the responsible and responsive vendor(s) whose bid is determined to be the lowest responsive bid(s). The Department may also make a determination as to whether to deem one or more Vendors ineligible for award due to non-responsibility or non-responsiveness. The Procurement Manager will develop a ranking based on the pricing of bids. After developing the ranking, the Procurement Manager will provide to the Secretary, or designee, a report on bids deemed nonresponsive and, as to those deemed responsive, the ranking, along with a recommendation for final action. The Department will electronically post the intent to award in accordance with subsection 120.57(3)(a), Florida Statutes, and Rule 60A-1.021, Florida Administrative Code.
