About this file
This is a Designation of Confidential and Proprietary Information form from the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Enterprise Operations, related to a university procurement for three bicycle shelters in Wisconsin. The form serves as a template for bidders responding to solicitations to designate materials they consider confidential or proprietary trade secrets. The form is submitted in conjunction with a bid for three bicycle shelters, two of which will include LED solar-powered lighting and accommodate 36 bikes each, with shelters to be anchored into existing concrete slabs.
The form establishes the process for protecting confidential information submitted with bid responses, noting that pricing information automatically becomes public upon bid opening and cannot remain confidential. Bidders must specifically identify pages they claim as trade secrets or otherwise confidential material on the form and submit it with their bid response; failure to do so may result in all bid information becoming subject to public examination. The form requires the authorized representative to sign and agree to defend any confidentiality designation if challenged and to hold the state harmless from costs or damages related to withholding materials. Information qualifies for protection only if it meets the statutory definition of trade secret under Wisconsin Statutes section 134.90(1)(c), deriving independent economic value from not being generally known and being subject to reasonable secrecy efforts.

DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The attached material submitted in response to Bid/Proposal # includes proprietary and confidential information which qualifies as a trade secret, as provided in s. 19.36(5), Wis. Stats., or is otherwise material that can be kept confidential under the Wisconsin Open Records Law. As such, we ask that certain pages, as indicated below, of this bid/proposal response be treated as confidential material and not be released without our written approval.
Prices always become public information when bids/proposals are opened, and therefore cannot be kept confidential.
Other information cannot be kept confidential unless it is a trade secret. Trade secret is defined in s. 134.90(1)(c), Wis. Stats. as follows: "Trade secret" means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process to which all of the following apply:
1.
The information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.
2.
The information is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances.
We request that the following pages not be released.

In the event the designation of confidentiality of this information is challenged, the undersigned hereby agrees to provide legal counsel or other necessary assistance to defend the designation of confidentiality and agrees to hold the state harmless for any costs or damages arising out of the state's agreeing to withhold the materials.
Failure to include this form in the bid/proposal response may mean that all information provided as part of the bid/proposal response will be open to examination and copying. The state considers other markings of confidential in the bid/proposal document to be insufficient. The undersigned agrees to hold the state harmless for any damages arising out of the release of any materials unless they are specifically identified above.
