About this file
This is a Designation of Confidential and Proprietary Information form issued by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Enterprise Operations, for use in response to the High Performance Supercomputer Cluster bid solicitation by the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire's Purchasing Services Department. The form serves as a mechanism for bidders to designate specific pages of their bid or proposal responses as confidential or proprietary material that qualifies as trade secrets under Wisconsin Statutes Section 19.36(5) or other confidentiality provisions under the Wisconsin Open Records Law. Bidders must specifically identify which pages and topics they wish to keep confidential; failure to complete and submit this form may result in all bid information being made available for public examination and copying.
The form establishes that prices submitted in bids or proposals automatically become public information upon opening and cannot be designated as confidential, while other information may be protected only if it qualifies as a trade secret as defined under Wisconsin Statutes Section 134.90(1)(c). Bidders must demonstrate that designated information derives independent economic value from not being generally known and is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy. By signing the form, the bidder's authorized representative agrees to provide legal counsel and hold the state harmless for any costs or damages arising from defending the confidentiality designation or from any release of materials not specifically identified on the form. The state considers other markings of confidentiality within the bid document to be insufficient without this formal designation form.

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.

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.
