Section 4: Designation of Confidential and Proprietary Information The attached material submitted in response to this 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 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:

Using the boxes below, indicate your agreement with the following statements:

Section 5: Bidder Agreement: Wisconsin’s Cooperative Purchasing Service

Wisconsin statutes (s. 16.73, Wis. Stats.) establish authority to allow Wisconsin municipalities to purchase from state contracts. Participating in the service gives vendors opportunities for additional sales without additional bidding. Municipalities use the service to expedite purchases. A “municipality” is defined as any county, city, village, town, school district, board of school directors, sewer district, drainage district, vocational, technical and adult education district, or any other public body having the authority to award public contracts (s. 16.70(8), Wis. Stats.). Federally recognized Indian tribes and bands in this state may participate in cooperative purchasing with the state or any municipality under ss. 66.0301(1) and (2), Wis. Stats.

Interested municipalities:

· Will contact the contractor directly to place orders referencing the state agency contract number; and

· Are responsible for receipt, acceptance, and inspection of commodities directly from the contractor, and making payment directly to the contractor.

The State of Wisconsin is not party to these purchases or any dispute arising from these purchases and is not liable for delivery or payment of any of these purchases.

Bidders/Proposers may or may not agree to furnish the commodities or services of this bid/proposal to Wisconsin municipalities. A vendor’s decision on participating in these services has no effect on awarding this contract.

Bidder: Please indicate your willingness to furnish the commodities or services to Wisconsin municipalities by checking the appropriate box below.

FORMCHECKBOX

I Agree to furnish the commodities or services of this bid/proposal to Wisconsin municipalities with any special conditions noted below.

FORMCHECKBOX
