In the event of a public request for such information, City will make best efforts to provide notice to Bidder prior to such disclosure. If a Bidder contends that any documents are exempt from the

CPRA and wishes to prevent disclosure, it is required to obtain a protective order, injunctive relief, or other appropriate remedy from a court of law in Santa Cruz County before the City is required to respond to the CPRA request. If Bidder fails to obtain such remedy within the time the City is required to respond to the CPRA request, City may disclose the requested information without any liability to

Bidder. Bidder further agrees that it shall defend, indemnify and hold City harmless against any claim, action or litigation (including but not limited to all judgments, costs, and attorney’s fees) that may result from denial by City of a CPRA request for information arising from any representation, or any action (or inaction), by the Bidder.

The City desires to foster cooperative relationships with Proposers and to reach a fair agreement in a timely manner.

The City encourages Proposers to resolve issues regarding the IFB requirements or the procurement process through written correspondence and discussions at least 5 business days prior to the proposal due date. This will allow the City time to research the validity of any stated issues and either issue an addendum to the IFB, cancel the IFB, or determine the protest to be unfounded and proceed with the solicitation. In the event, the protest of specifications is denied, and the protester wishes to continue in the protest process, the protesting Proposers must still submit a proposal in accordance with the proposal submittal procedures provided in this solicitation. Questions or concerns prior to the intent to award notice will be directed to:

BJ Dericco, Engineering Associate, rdericco@santacruzca.gov

Any Proposer who unsuccessfully bids on a City contract or any trade association representing workers who would have potentially been employed by such contract may formally protest a contract award.
